Fresh fruit with real grip — always seeking new finds with texture

You want fruit to have edges. Light and fresh, but you need something to hold onto — approachable-with-texture is your whole category. You’re always curious and always pushing the bright side of things until it gives you something real.

Who ZEST is

ZEST runs slightly hotter than everyone else. They're first to agree to dessert. They order the sparkling thing. They add more lemon than the recipe calls for, every time. Their cocktails are too bright, their conversations are too fast, and people love their for it. ZEST doesn't do subtle; they do vivid, immediate, generous. When the table is quiet, they're the one who pulls it up. When the dinner is dragging, they're the one who says *"okay, dessert or one more bottle?"* — and both happen. They have a favorite Mediterranean restaurant that knows their drink order. ZEST is the Spark because they raise the light wherever they sit — not performatively, just inevitably.

If ZEST threw a dinner party tonight

Eight people, maybe more. A big table, a lot of lemon everywhere. G&Ts to start, squeezed right before pouring. Whole fish with preserved lemon. Mediterranean salad that's 40% herbs. Ends with sorbet and another round that nobody expected to say yes to. Midnight, everyone still laughing.

TART — The Wit
