Bell’s Flavor Trends for 2010

On the list of Beverage flavors (see Bell's Top 10 Trends for 2010) was yumberry or yangmei. I had to settle for dried yangmei in lieu of fresh ones though.

Top 10 Beverage flavors: 

Coconut water, hibiscus, Peppadew (sweet piquanté pepper), yumberry, chamomile, lavender, jasmine, cupuacu, aloe vera and cucumber.

Cupuacu is another fruit I'd like to get to know better (a cousin of the cacao fruit!)

33.5 blackcurrants
21.5 cranberries
4.5 seedless grapes
1 dried yumberry
