Nope, there are a few hundred varieties. However, since you are in North Carolina I'm wondering if it was one of the cultivars from Florida, like the White Indonesian.
Do you have a copy of
Cornucopia II: A Source Book of Edible Plants, by Stephen Facciola ? Beginning on page 385 are listed 23 varieties and where to obtain them. Its really an amazing book.
Another idea to consider: find out from suppliers that are convenient to you what varieties they have, and then post here for various opinions on the flavor.
There are members of this site growing guavas, I guess if there is enough interest we can start trading guavas for other plants or banana bucks!
