‘Little bird swifting in the sky,
Whistling happily while it flies.
Sniffing through mangoes from tree to tree,
Pricking and tasting joyfully.’ – Siam1928
Karawik was surprisingly green. With notes like mango and coconut, I was expecting it to feel like a sweeter gourmand. Instead, you get an unripe fruit with this. Sharper and higher acidity that your average (Western) mango; closer to the mango you may know from Salted Green Mango. Rind and stem. Not a sweet ripe mango, not overly juicy, but green and therefore in my mind it leans more mature. Pleasant to wear, but it threw me for a loop a little bit.
