Strawberry Guava Redux, Part 2

The thumbnail is a chance reflection of the strawberry guava tree in cooling, processed puree.

We are about 40 pounds into strawberry guava season and my scientist husband estimates that is about half the crop. I maintain a list of eager recipients and also travel the immediate neighborhood with a large container doling out whatever friends want. They get the best and largest. The smallest ones are processed for guava puree which is today’s Strawberry Guava Redux, Part 2.

Low garden trays with small openings ring the strawberry guava tree. Most mornings when the tree is in the shade, my husband gives the twelve foot tree a good shake and a shower of guavas lands in the trays. We empty the trays and do an initial sort with discards going to the compost bin and the largest ones pulled for friends. Then the guavas are transferred to containers where they’ll be stored until processed, usually in a few days. Thankfully, in a layer only 3-4 deep they keep well in the fridge.

A further sort occurs as the guavas are washed and placed in 6 and 8 quart saucepots on the stove. Only about half to three-fourths cup of water is needed since the guavas are so juicy.

The fruit is brought to a boil, covered and then simmered for about twenty minutes or until the guavas break down and the liquid is released. I help things along with a potato masher or spoon.

At this point I have readied the chinois and I’m wearing my guava shirt and a dark apron to camouflage splatters. As with berries, it takes boiling water to remove guava stains from clothes and linens.

From Wikipedia: A chinois (English: /ʃiːnˈwɑː/; French pronunciation: [ʃin.wɑ]) is a conical sieve with an extremely fine mesh. It is used to strain custards, purees, soups, and sauces, producing a very smooth texture. It can also be used to dust food with a fine layer of powdered ingredient.

Chinois is a loanword from the French adjective meaning Chinese. French cooks call it this not because this kitchen tool comes from China but because it resembles an Asian conical hat.

While the cooked guavas cool slightly, I use an immersion blender to roughly puree the mixture. This allows the puree to proceed through the chinois strainer easily, leaving the seeds behind. The wood pestle forces the last of the goodness into the bowl below.

Six quarts of strawberry guava puree cool before ladling into containers for the freezer.

Over the years I’ve found other uses for strawberry guavas—in part out of desperation. Most often I stir the puree into plain Greek yogurt or my homemade applesauce. It also brightens the color and flavor of my cooked rhubarb. Frozen cubes of puree go into smoothies. Other favorite uses include strawberry guava sherbet, guava-lime agua fresca, guava paste and guava BBQ sauce.

There’s a strawberry guava tree in our church’s courtyard and yesterday I photo captured two children eagerly eating the fruit. On the right, my husband climbs the nine foot ladder to pick guavas up high.

Check the What I’m Planting Now page as I begin soon to sow seeds for the cool season garden. Then head today to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave at Happy Acres blog and see what garden bloggers around the world harvested last week.

Hayyyy pookie!

It's ur Paul dano lover!!

This isn't very database related but more so an opinion!

I wanna make a subtle therian candle set! I just need 2 more animals (even though it's bad to be "generic" I do need 2 more animals and want them sorta generic for a therian!)

My two first ideas for this four candles candle set is:

Like a wolf: woodsy, line, tree

Like a fox: light bakery scent, maybe cinnamon-y?

(Logo will have a consistent wood bg with text saying: "LIKE A" at the top and then at the bottom the scent "fox" or "wolf" with the animal of that scent!)

I am gonna list scents I have so you can brainstorm bc ik ur good at it!

Nature sents (wood/forest and rainbow)

Fruit scents (guava, pear, apple strawberry, cucumber, etc)

Bakery scents (coming in today Aug 16th! Will dm u)

Beach/coast scents (also coming in today and will dm u!)

Srry this is so long! Luv uuuu!!

Hi pookie!!!!!

All I can think is wtf does a rainbow smell like???

Anyways here's some ideas:

Like a sloth: tropical, fruity scents, with some woodsy ones mixed in? (Guava, strawberry, cucumber, wood/forest)

Like a cat: probably bakery vibes, some woodsy scents, def feeling like a honey scent would go well! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Like a shark: beach vibes!! Salty, fresh scents that make you feel like ur underwater! Maybe some cucumber in there?

Like a dragon: campfire scents, anything that feels spicy, like nutmeg or cinnamon scented candles, and wood/forest :3

Like a bear: woodsy scents, maybe a salty beachy scent, some bakery scents!

Anyways love you pookie!!!!

P.S.

You need a new personality. Ik Paul dano is hot but please post smth else (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)

🫐🍍🥝 𝘍𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘝𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘺 🍊🥭 🥥

Berries 🍓 Blackberry - 黑莓 (hēi méi)

Blackcurrant - 黑醋栗 (hēi cù lì) Note: literally translates to 'black vinegar chestnut'.

Blueberry - 蓝莓 (lán méi)

Cranberry - 蔓越莓 (màn yuè méi) Note: literally translates to 'creeping berry'.

Raspberry - 树莓 (shù méi) Note: literally translates to 'tree berry'.

Strawberry - 草莓 (cǎo méi) Note: literally translates to 'grass berry'.

Açaí - 巴西莓 (bā xī méi) Note: literally translates to 'Brazilian berry'.

Mulberry - 桑葚 (sāng shèn)

Elderberry - 接骨木莓 (jiē gǔ mù méi)

Goji berry - 枸杞 (gǒu qǐ) Citruses 🍎 Blood orange - 血橙 (xiě chéng)

Tangerine - 柑橘 (gān jú)

Grapefruit - 西柚 (xī yòu) Note: literally translates to 'Western pomelo'.

Kumquat - 金橘 (jīn jú) Note: literally translates to 'golden tangerine'.

Lemon - 柠檬 (níng méng)

Lime - 青柠 (qīng níng) Note: Chinese people have a name for a blue-green colour: 青色 which is 'cyan' in English. Technically, limes in Chinese literally translate to 'cyan lemons'. However, you may not recognize limes as particularly blue/cyan. Chinese people have a slightly different understanding of colour because historically, they didn't separate between green and blue, which is common amongst many East Asians in general. Nowadays they obviously do but may disagree with non-Chinese people on what constitutes 'green' or 'blue'.

Yuzu - 香橙 (xiāng chéng)

Orange - 橙子 (chéng zǐ)

Pomelo - 柚子 (yòu zǐ) Melons 🍉 Cantaloupe - 甜瓜 (tián guā) Note: it's hard to find a direct translation for the cantaloupe and honeydew as some translate 甜瓜 into muskmelon and 哈密瓜 into hami melon. Others translate cantaloupe or honeydew into 洋香瓜 (foreign fragrant melon).

Honeydew - 哈密瓜 (hā mì guā)

Watermelon - 西瓜 (xī guā) Misc. 🍒 Apricot - 杏 (xìng)

Cherry - 樱桃 (yīng táo)

Peach - 桃子 (táo zǐ)

Banana - 香蕉 (xiāng jiāo)

Durian - 榴莲 (liú lián)

Starfruit - 杨桃 (yáng táo)

Asian pear - 苹果梨 (píng guǒ lí) Note: literally translates to 'apple pear'.

Passionfruit - 百香果、热情果 (bǎi xiāng guǒ, rè qíng guǒ) Note: most people will use the first translation but the second is more fun.

Coconut - 椰子 (yē zi)

Dragonfruit - 火龙果 (huǒ lóng guǒ) Note: literally translates to 'fire dragon fruit'.

Grape - 葡萄 (pú táo)

Nectarine - 油桃 (yóu táo) Note: literally translates to 'oil peach'.

Pomegranate - 石榴 (shí liú) Note: people typically do not pronounce the last character with a tone so you probably don't have to bother either.

Kiwi - 猕猴桃 (mí hóu táo) The reason why kiwis have such a strange name is because of a story (unsure of veracity): mountain people in China originally thought the fruit was poisonous. Thus, they didn't eat it until they saw macaques (猕猴) eating them. That's why they're called 'macaque fruits' (猕猴桃). Uncommon Fruits 🍅 Cactus pear - 仙人掌梨 (xiān rén zhǎng lí)

Calabash - 葫芦 (hú lú)

Date - 枣 (zǎo)

Fig - 无花果 (wú huā guǒ) Note: literally translates to 'flowerless fruit'.

Jackfruit - 菠萝蜜 (bō luó mì) Note: literally translates to 'pineapple honey'.

Lychee - 荔枝 (lì zhī)

Mangosteen - 山竹 (shān zhú)

Plantain - 大蕉 (dà jiāo) Note: literally translates to 'big banana'.

Persimmon - 柿子 (shì zǐ) Fun fact: tomatoes were probably first brought to China in the 1600's and lots of people thought they were strange and foreign. Thus, tomatoes were called 'foreign persimmons' (洋柿子）or 'foreign eggplants' （番茄） depending on location. Eventually, the 'foreign persimmons' term changed to 西���柿, or Western red persimmons.

Guava - 番石榴 (fān shí liú) This is a similar story for guavas which are called 'foreign pomegranates' (番石榴).

Rambutan - 红毛丹 (hóng máo dān) Example Text

各种挑水果技巧 看完你也是专家了 -> the skill of picking various types of fruits, after reading, you will also become an expert Pomelos 看外形，水滴状的最好 -> look at its external appearance, teardrop-shaped is best. 摸果皮，挑表皮光滑的 -> touch the fruit peel, pick one that has a smooth peel. 掂一掂，重量大的口感好 -> weigh it, the heavier ones have the best taste. Grapes 3招教你挑对葡萄 -> three-pronged lesson on picking the right grapes. 一看果梗。新鲜的葡萄果梗为绿色 -> first, look at the fruit stem. Fresh grapes will have green stems. 二看果皮和种子色泽 -> Secondly, look at the colour of the fruit peel and seeds. 三尝风味。葡萄成熟时，应该呈现品种固有的风味 -> Thirdly, taste the flavour. When grapes are mature, they should show a variant-distinct flavour. Oranges 3招挑出最甜的橘子 -> a three-pronged approach to choosing the sweetest orange. 一看：大小和颜色。橘子个头以中等为最佳... 颜色越红，通常熟得越好，味道越甜 -> first, look: size and colour. Oranges that are medium-sized are the best-tasting... the redder the colour, typically the more mature the orange and the greater sweetness. 二摸：光滑程度. -> Secondly, touch: smoothness. 三捏：测试弹性... 用手捏下去，感觉果肉结实但不硬，一松手，就能立刻弹回原状 -> thirdly, pinch: test the elasticity. Use your hand to pinch it, feel the fruit flesh as firm but not hard, once you let go, it immediately bounces back. Apples 苹果听声 -> listen to the sound of the apple. 敲敲看，如声音不脆，表示不新鲜 -> knock on it, if the sound isn't crisp, it means it's not fresh. Pineapples 菠萝看叶片 -> look at the pineapples leaves. 若叶片呈深绿色，表示日照良好，甜度和汁液都很多 -> as leaves display a dark green colour, it shows that the fruit received a good amount of sun exposure, both its sweetness and juiciness will be great. Strawberries 草莓看果蒂... 新鲜的草莓果蒂鲜嫩，呈深绿色 -> Look at strawberry stems... fresh strawberries will have freshly tender stems, displaying a deep green colour.

Bananas 香蕉看表皮 -> look at the banana's peel. 表皮有许多黑色斑点，且色泽深黄的香蕉成熟，这样的才最可口 -> mature bananas have a peel with many black stripes/spots and a deep yellow colour, this way they will be tastiest.

Excerpt from this story from Hakai Magazine:

Francis “Bully” Mission Sr., president and founder of Mission Animal Control, is in a good mood when I meet him at a strip mall parking lot on the south side of the Hawaiian island of Kaua‘i. He and his son Levi have just found two “squeakers”—pigs no more than a few months old—in one of their traps, which means US $100 in their pockets and another satisfied customer. Property owners all over the island hire the duo to remove problem animals, and Bully has invited me to join him as he collects the new captives.

“We had a big mama yesterday and three juveniles,” he tells me as I climb into his pickup truck. “The population is unbelievable.”

Inside the cab, I notice what appears to be Old MacDonald’s entire farm glued to the dashboard: a plastic cat, a couple of horses, a cow, and three pigs. These are all species that humans have brought to the Hawaiian islands and that the Mission family is often hired to eliminate. Feral pigs, once denizens of the mountains with intermittent forays to lower elevations, have become regular raiders of lowland farms, upscale neighborhoods, and members-only golf courses. “Some of them look like you could put a saddle on them and ride them,” Bully says of the pigs he’s seen.

Pigs can now be found on six of Hawai‘i’s seven inhabited islands, and their impacts are especially profound on Kaua‘i, the lush “Garden Island,” which has so far retained much of its native character. Its mountains are home to 255 unique native plant species and 208 native birds, including 11 found nowhere else on Earth. As the pigs tear up vegetation, they encourage erosion and muddy the island’s drinking water supplies. Their wallows breed mosquitoes that spread avian malaria, contributing to 10 of Kaua‘i’s 16 native honeycreepers going extinct. They also spread the seeds of the strawberry guava tree in their dung, contributing to what one group of researchers has referred to as an “invasional meltdown.” The guava shades out native plants and smothers them in its leaves.

The pigs’ presence in the populated lowlands has grown over the last couple of decades. Sally Rizzo, who was running an organic farm during my visit, told me that the pigs broke through her fence this year and “shit all over our baby greens.” On the roads, drivers frequently have to swerve to avoid pigs, leading to several hundred accidents every year. Beaches aren’t safe either. Three years ago, a tusked boar made headlines when it went for a swim and thrashed a surfer in the lineup off Oahu, another island. On oceanside bluffs, meanwhile, the pigs are preying on the chicks of migratory seabirds, so completely trashing their burrow nests that the birds never return to them again.

Despite the damage that feral pigs are causing, you can’t just shoot them on sight as you can in many other US states. In Texas, home to more than one-third of the seven million feral pigs in the United States, hunters and landowners target them from helicopters or with poison baits. On Hawai‘i, however, pigs occupy a more complicated position, as their populations are managed for both recreation and subsistence. Along with West Virginia, Hawai‘i is one of two states with bag limits on public land. This means that while conservationists are trying to reduce or eliminate pig populations inside protected areas, the Hawai‘i Division of Forestry and Wildlife manages the animal as a limited resource just about everywhere else.

Fruit review 8: plate of stuff I found around the area; yellow strawberry guava, pomegranate, white fig, and cactus fruit.

I went in a few walks so I just grabbed a bunch of things. The fig is from the same tree as the big fig review, I’m questioning if it’s a white fig now since the inside is more pink on this one than the previous ones, but idk. The strawberry guavas was an awesome thing to find since I haven’t had one in so long, and the cactus fruit is from the same plant as last time. The pomegranate is from across the street, I’ve seen it fruit a few times and have been too scared to grab one, but it was right above my head so I did it.

The fig was fine, it isn’t super ripe and fig season is ending so it’s not very big, but it was an enjoyable fig! No worms. The pomegranate was very sour, but it’s so small and cute it gets points for that. The strawberry guavas are not as flavorful and I remember from back home, but I get that since this isn’t the environment they typically grow in, they still tasted great! To be honest I think my first cactus pear review was clouded by the novelty if it being the first time I’ve ever had one, I still enjoyed them but I think I liked it less than I did the first time.

5/10 for the fig, 4/10 for the pomegranate, 7/10 for the cactus pear, 7/10 for the guavas

Repotted the Myrtus ugni syn. Ugni molinae AKA Chilean Guava or NZ Cranberry.

Its not a cranberry nor from NZ, I don't think it's a guava, it might be from Chile. Don't know if it's known much outside NZ and South America. Apparently it's what they make artificial strawberry flavour out of.

Anyway, it's to go with the limequot on the path at the side of the house, against the sunny wall. I'm trying to redecorate this area. I keep trying to work out what plants would most benefit from this area, but have decided these two are going there because I already have them. They're only small so far.

I did want an espalier tree but it's hard to get a big rectangular pot (rectangular so it doesn't stick out too much but still has a lot of root space). And the trees are really expensive, or you have to do it yourself and doing the right thing at the right time is not one of my strengths.

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen

Strawberry guava jam moved up on the list last week because I needed to make room in the chest freezer for more frozen apricot products and applesauce. The strawberry guava puree was processed last October, awaiting a day to make jam. Some of the remaining pints of puree were added to rhubarb and applesauce this week, adding color and bright flavor.

My grandmother had a small strawberry guava tree in her yard in Laguna Beach. She made a delicate strawberry guava jelly but I prefer the richness and color of the jam. My recipe came from a family who moved to San Diego from Wisconsin in 1888. They had planned to grow lemons but trees were not available so they had a strawberry guava ranch.

Read more about strawberry guavas in Strawberry Guava Redux, Part 1 or use the search feature on my blog for other ramblings about strawberry guavas and their uses.

We’re still picking (or picking up drops) from the Blenheim apricot tree—usually several pounds a day. This week I made two quarts of apricot puree to freeze for ice cream later in the summer or even mid-winter.

Then there was the first apricot-almond cobbler of the season.

Few of the marionberries make it to the kitchen. My husband and I cruise the twenty foot stretch of canes eating the ripe ones as we go. Warmed by the sun, they are at their best. The botrytis fungus has yet to affect them as it has for the past five cool summers. Our solar data shows a sunnier June which may be the answer.

I used the last of our Yukon Gem potatoes along with a spring onion and dill from the garden for a simple potato salad. I dressed it with lime juice I had frozen earlier and EVOO.

I have a five foot high dill forest in the garden. Swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs there and I’m careful to relocate tiny caterpillars when I harvest. The hover flies love the flower heads.

I’ve yet to saturate the neighborhood with zucchini but I may be getting close. I ask first, then drop off.

The lavender is blooming now and I have lime juice in the freezer. Lavender limeade to refresh me this week as I process fruit.

I’m enchanted with the Apricotta cosmos grown from Botanical Interest seed. It blends well with a nearby alstroemeria. Here they appear more pink and less “apricot.” in color. They’re a modest 24-30 inches tall so they don’t overtake the garden. I’ll plant them again next year. Maybe they’ll just show up.

Check the What I’m Planting Now page as I plant the summer garden. Then head today to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave at Happy Acres blog and see what garden bloggers around the world harvested last week.

Plant Poetry

“Once the relation between poetry and the soil is established in the mind, all growing things are endowed with more than material beauty.”  Elizabeth Lawrence

Have you ever wandered your garden and realized the growing landscape is poetry in motion? As you’ve read in my recent columns, I have been occupied with aggressive weeding on my land these past several months. Under the masses of foxtails, thistles, spurge, bindweed, black medic, pelargonium robertianum, hemlock, and wild grasses, fields of flowers awaited the sunshine. With only three garden rooms left in my quest to purge the pernicious invaders, my first round of weeding is almost at an end.

The plant poetry has begun. My orchard meadow is glorious with swaths of wildflowers, including golden poppies, sprouted seeds of calendula, nigella, seafoam statice, nasturtiums, blooming cornflowers, iris, geranium, roses, chamomile, lilies, acanthus, strawberry, bougainvillea, and more. My orchard is brimming with fruit trees that will ripen throughout the season. Apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, prunes, mulberries, apples, Asian Pears, elderberries, persimmons, pomegranates, guavas, loquats, figs, and vines of grapes provide edible delights for our household and the wildlife who frequent the meadow. I recently planted a banana tree and two avocadoes, keeping my fingers crossed that they will bear fruit in a few years. Footsteps away is my citrus grove with tangerines, oranges, tangelos, lemons, and cumquats. The hillside is a vibrant, pollinator paradise. 

Bees and bumblebees especially favor the blue nigella, buzzing from blossom to blossom, savoring the sweet nectar. Butterflies and birds flutter and fly through this heavenly fragrant celebration of color, scale, and texture. 

When I view photos from a month ago when this area was blanketed in suffocating weeds, I am grateful for the miracle of nature, this poetic painting abundant with stunning flowers.

The paths are filled with gravel and lined with recycled redwood planks rescued from a renewed deck, both a clever, sustainable, and frugal option. Like the balance of a colorful poem, this design is wild, yet civilized, celebrating the quirks of nature.

Another poetic surprise in my garden this week was the blooming of my cordyline, also known as the Ti plant. One day when I went out for my daily garden walk, iridescent shoots had sprung out of the top of this good-luck tree, glittering in the morning sun. It appears to change hues throughout the day and is impressive. 

I also harvested the first of my zucchini. This was exciting because last summer my plants were eaten by critters. This season I expect to enjoy plenty. 

Cascading over the raised bed in my vegetable garden, edible and tangy nasturtium in red, yellow, and orange shades reminds me of my Nonna’s garden.  Not to be outdone, my Bonica rose bush drapes over the mailbox with voluminous baby pink blooms flanked by fluorescent fuchsia corn flags creating a mesmerizing entrance.  

Each day promises something new and exciting. Plant poetry is indeed endowed with more than material beauty.

Cynthia Brian’s Goddess Gardener Guide for June

ü  It is time to remove the dried leaves from daffodils, naked ladies, woodland hyacinths, freesias, and other spring-blooming bulbs. A quick tug of the dried leaves is all you need to do. If you must pull hard, the leaves are not ready to be removed. I know they look unsightly in your garden, but if you remove the leaves before they have had the chance to provide nutrients to the bulb you won’t have any flowers next spring. Hang in there. You’ll thank me in a year!

ü  Apply snail bait to plants susceptible to snail and slug damage. They come out of hiding at night to nibble your new shoots and because of the rains are an abundant nuisance.

ü  Monitor water needs for your landscape. Water infrequently but deeply. Containers lose moisture more quickly and will need additional attention.

ü  Clean and arrange patio furniture, pads, and outdoor gear. With summer on the horizon, get prepared to party.

ü  Plant summer-blooming bulbs and scatter seeds to surprise you with their brilliance.

ü  If you haven’t finished cutting tall grass, clearing debris, maintaining a fuel break, and preparing for wildfires, do it this week. Be vigilant and a good neighbor!

ü  Deadhead rose blossoms as they fade to keep your bushes healthy and blooming until the end of the year. I have over 200 rose bushes and deadheading is a daily chore, albeit one that yields huge rewards. Wear protective gloves!

ü  Create a vibrant garden masterpiece in your backyard with prolonged performance perennials and annuals available at your favorite nursery.

ü  Celebrate graduations, birthdays, and more with a kaleidoscope of plant poetry.

Breeze Through Your Day: The Best Breeze Flavors That Will Tickle Your Taste Buds!

Welcome to the zesty, juicy, and occasionally minty universe of Breeze, where every puff is like a burst of fun in your mouth! Whether you're a die-hard vaper or just someone curious about what all the fruity fuss is about, you're in for a treat. Today, we're exploring the best breeze flavors to add a splash of excitement to your vape experience. From tangy citruses that can slap a smile on your face faster than a lemon squirt fight, to the sweet whispers of berries that could seduce a fruit bat, we’ve got the scoop on what tastes tickle the taste buds best. So grab your vape pen, and let’s get puffing! Citrus Splash—When Life Gives You Lemons The saying goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," but in the Breeze world, we say, "Why stop at lemonade when you can have a citrus blast?" Citrus flavors aren't just about lemons; we're talking oranges, grapefruits, limes—all the big hitters in the citrus league that bring their A-game to your vaping experience. These flavors are perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra zing to get out of bed. They’re not just refreshing; they're like a wake-up call wrapped in a sunbeam, delivered directly to your taste buds. And let’s not forget how these citrus varieties can be your best friend during a dull afternoon slump. Imagine this: you’re hitting that mid-day lull, and then—bam!—a zesty puff reinvigorates your senses. Citrus Breeze flavors are famed not just for their robust profiles but also for their ability to play nicely with other fruity friends. Lemon and strawberry? A match made in heaven. Orange and mango? A tropical handshake that’s hard to beat. With every drag, you’re not just enjoying a flavor, you’re revitalizing your day! Berry Blast—A Berrylicious Adventure Berry flavors in the Breeze lineup are like the superheroes of the fruit vape world—everyone has their favorite, and they never disappoint. Imagine a universe where berries aren't just berries—they're explosive little packets of joy that burst with every puff. Whether it's the sweet and sultry whispers of raspberry or the bold, no-apologies punch of blackberry, these flavors are all about delivering a full-on sensory overload. It’s like hosting a party in your mouth, and guess what? All the berries are invited! Now, if you think that strawberries and blueberries are just for breakfast, think again. When these flavors find their way into your Breeze vape, they transform from typical morning fare to an all-day flavor fest. Why settle for a boring snack when you can inhale the divine duo of strawberry and blueberry in a single breath? Each berry brings its unique personality to the party—strawberries with their sweet charm and blueberries with their deep, mysterious allure. Together, they create a vaping experience that's both familiar and thrillingly novel. Trust us, your taste buds will be berry, berry grateful! Tropical Twist—Vacation in a Vape For those who daydream of sandy beaches and palm trees but are stuck in the office or at home, tropical Breeze flavors are your next best ticket. Each puff is a mini-vacation, a fleeting escape to paradise with exotic fruits like mango, passion fruit, and pineapple leading the charge. These aren’t just flavors; they're experiences, crafted to whisk you away to a sunny state of mind, no matter where you are or what time it is. Imagine inhaling a cloud of mango and exhaling the stress of your day—that’s the power of a tropical twist. And let's not overlook the underdogs of the tropical team, like guava and papaya, which add a sophisticated twist to your vape adventures. These flavors don't just dance on your palate; they perform a full-blown salsa. Mixing and matching these with other fruits can create a symphony of taste that feels like a party under the stars. So, next time you find yourself longing for a tropical getaway, reach for a tropical Breeze flavor. It’s less expensive than a holiday and just as rejuvenating! Mint Magic—Cool and Refreshing Sometimes, what you need is not a riot of flavors but the pure, crisp refreshment that only mint can provide. Mint Breeze flavors are like the cool aunt of the vape family—chill, always refreshing, and surprisingly fun. Each puff clears your mind and cools your throat, making it the perfect companion for both a hot day and a night out. It’s not just a flavor; it’s a breath of fresh air—literally! But mint is more than just a palate cleanser. It’s a versatile player in the flavor game, mingling with chocolates, fruits, and even more complex dessert blends to bring a refreshing twist that keeps things interesting. Whether it’s peppermint, spearmint, or a creative minty fusion, these flavors are all about keeping you cool under pressure and fresh throughout the day. When you need a moment to reset and refresh, nothing says "chill out" quite like a minty Breeze puff. Conclusion Whether you’re a fan of tangy, sweet, exotic, or refreshing flavors, the Breeze range has something to tickle everyone’s taste buds. From morning zest with citrus to a night of cool mint freshness, your vaping journey promises to be nothing short of spectacular with these top picks. So why wait? Dive into the best breeze flavors and discover your favorite way to add a little extra flavor to your day! FAQs 1. What's the most popular Breeze flavor? It’s like asking which puppy is the cutest at the puppy parade! But if we must crown a king, Citrus Splash often steals the show. It's like the life of the party that brings sunshine and high fives to everyone’s taste buds! 2. Can I mix Breeze flavors, or is that a recipe for disaster? Mix away, my adventurous friend! Combining flavors is like throwing a surprise party for your mouth—it could turn out to be the bash of the year or just pleasantly unexpected. Try a Berry and Mint combo for a berry-minty mashup that's as refreshing as a pool dip in summer. 3. How long does a typical Breeze flavor last? Well, that depends on how much you love puffing away. If you're vaping more often than a gossip blogger updates their feed, you might run out faster. Typically, a Breeze pod can last as long as your average series binge session—think a few days of regular use. 4. Are there any weird or unusual Breeze flavors to try? If by 'weird' you mean 'unexpectedly awesome,' then yes! Ever tried something like 'Pumpkin Spice Latte' during Halloween season? It’s not just for your coffee anymore. Vape shops might just become the new coffee shops with these wild concoctions! 5. Which Breeze flavor is best for a first-time vaper? Starting off? Stick to the classics. A nice Strawberry or Vanilla might just be your gateway into the vibrant world of vaping. They're like the gentle introduction to a long, flavor-filled journey—easy on the palate and beloved by many!
