Cascara, which means “husk“ or “peel” in Spanish, is the dried skin of coffee cherries. As you may or may not know, coffee is a small fruit which looks very much like a cherry. The seeds inside are what we call “beans” and these are roasted to produce the amazing beverage that we’ve built our business upon.

Cascara can be simply brewed with hot water to create a sweet, delicious, tea-like beverage, or you can add mulling spices or ginger to add a little “kick”.

Each bag has brewing instructions on the back. Makes 7, 8oz cups of tea.

Our cascara comes from Finca San Jeronimo Miramar, one of the farms that we work directly with in Guatemala. The taste is very sweet with notes of white grape, cherry, and honey.
