Tree tomato, known elsewhere as tamarillo, makes one of the most distinctive juices in the region: deep red-orange, tangy, faintly savoury behind the sweetness, and impossible to mistake for anything else.
It is a local favourite for good reason. That tartness cuts through rich, oily food the way lemon does, so it works particularly well next to palm oil rice, stew or roasted fish. Served cold, it stays bright rather than heavy and never tips into syrupy.
If you have only ever had tree tomato at breakfast, try it beside a hot plate of Nigerian food and see how differently it reads.
Order a glass online for delivery or pickup in Kigali, or drink it fresh at our Remera tables with Jollof Bistro.
