About The Product

Country: Guatemala
Region: Colis, Japala, New Oriente
Variety: Pache

Cascara is the dried outer skin of coffee cherries — the fruit that surrounds the coffee bean. In many coffee-producing countries, it’s typically discarded as waste, contributing to environmental issues. However, the cascara we source from small farms in Guatemala is specially processed for tea use.

It features a naturally sweet-tart flavor reminiscent of rosehip and plum, balanced with a gentle honey-like sweetness. Rich in polyphenols with antioxidant properties, it offers a surprisingly complex flavor that you wouldn’t expect from the coffee fruit’s skin.

Because this cascara is finely ground, it brews quickly and delivers a bright, expressive flavor in a shorter time.

We are happy to see cascara in more places around Japan recently- but while coffee lovers are familiar with the flavors of roasted beans, few have experienced the taste of the coffee fruit itself. This tea offers a whole new perspective — a must-try for anyone who loves coffee.

Compared to regular coffee, cascara contains only about one-fourth to one-eighth the amount of caffeine, while being rich in antioxidants — making it a soothing and health-conscious drink.

It’s not just tasty but also environmentally friendly. By upcycling what was once considered waste, cascara helps reduce agricultural waste and environmental impact, while creating an additional source of income for coffee producers.

A nice and refreshing discovery

The cascara is really surprising. I did not expect this taste at all. Nothing to do with coffee. Cascara is more like a sweet, herbal tea with flavors of honey, raspberry, apricot and orange. I made it hot and then let it cool in the fridge. I loved it like that. Very refreshing.
