Something You Don't Expect...
... To see in a Starbucks in Hongkong:
For those who might know, calamansi is also called the Philippine lemon. Its pretty small fruit, slightly bigger than your average grape. The outer skin is inedible, much like an orange, but with a green, rough rind. Like the lemon and the lime, it has its strong tangy and acidic taste, but subtly, the calamansi its slightly like a cross between a lemon and an orange when it comes to taste.
I like calamansi better :) Funny to see Starbucks Hong Kong selling it then ^_^

Wonder how a calamansi drink would land in a Hong Kong Starbucks, though? Did some agent in the Philippines pitch it to them? Is Starbucks actively offering this in select Asian branches? I'd like to see how the marketing on this thing went...
Yes precisely... I'd rather like to also find out how they came up with the idea and the marketing for it.
But its very interesting, no?
