Product detailed description
Cascara – Coffee Cherry Tea
Cascara, or “coffee cherry tea”, is a great alternative to coffee or tea, mainly due to its natural caffeine content. With notes of rose hips, raspberries, hibiscus, and raisins, its flavour profile is completely different from coffee. Among its key benefits are its lower caffeine content (approximately half that of coffee) and its shared health benefits with coffee. Cascara has become popular not only among coffee and tea enthusiasts, but also among lovers of a healthy lifestyle and alternative beverages.
What is cascara?
Coffee cherries are the fruits of the coffee plant, made up of several layers. Inside every cherry lie the coffee beans we all know so well. For a long time, these beans were considered the only valuable part of the coffee fruit, while the rest was largely overlooked in our region. As it turns out, we were wrong. In fact, coffee cherries are much more than just the beans! The pulp inside and the skin covering the cherry offer a rich flavour, completely different from the taste of coffee. Once these are dried, this process results in cascara.
What can it be compared to? Closest to a fruit tea with honey tones and a hint of acidity. However – unlike tea – it also contains caffeine thanks to its origin from the coffee plant. Cascara or a coffee cherry tea will therefore charge you with energy for the rest of the day.
