What exactly is Cascara?

Cascara means "shell" or "husk" in Spanish and refers to the dried fruit flesh of the coffee cherry. While it often occurs as a by-product in coffee production, it is carefully dried and prepared as tea in the making of Cascara. The result is an aromatic, slightly caffeinated infusion that emphasizes the fruity side of the coffee plant.

By using Cascara, part of the coffee plant that would otherwise be lost is utilized. This sustainable processing not only helps the environment but also supports the producing people by providing them with an additional source of income.

Preparation of Cascara Tea

Preparation is straightforward and similar to that of a fruit tea:

1. Pour 10 g Cascara with 500 ml boiling water.

2. Let it steep for 10 minutes
