📜 History

Calamansi juice is a beloved Filipino beverage made from the native calamansi citrus fruit, which has been cultivated in the Philippines for centuries. This small, round citrus, also called Philippine lime, produces a uniquely tart juice that falls between lime and mandarin orange in flavor. The drink is deeply embedded in Filipino culture, served at restaurants, street stalls, and homes throughout the archipelago. Calamansi also plays an important role in traditional Filipino cooking and folk medicine.
