Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'Brazilian' specifies origin and 'guava' names the fruit, so the meaning (a guava from Brazil or a Brazilian variety of guava) is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and not idiomatic, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Brazilian guava comes from a simple idea: the part Brazilian means 'from Brazil' and guava is the fruit, so it names a guava that grows in South America. That's why the name refers to the 'tree' and its 'fruit'.
