Cool. Calm. Calamansi | Interview with Joanna
For anyone that has heard us talk about our White Tea & Calamansi non-alcoholic drink,  you know that this was not the first flavour combination we had in mind.  We had started using the humble cumquat/kumquat, which turned out to be our first deviation as we couldn’t find commercial quantities.  Luckily, we were introduced to a close family member, calamansi and never looked back.
