Cascara Capucas - Organic
This tea is made from the sun-dried fruit skin of coffee cherries. Tastes like fresh plum, white peach, dried apricot, lemon, and honey.
Cascara, meaning ‘skin’ or ‘peel’ in Spanish, which is produced in huge quantities when ripe coffee cherries are pulped before the beans are washed and dried.
In most producing countries this pulp is traditionally seen as worthless, but for those produces who understand cascara, it is also possible to dry this leftover cherry to create the base for a unique and refreshing tea.
This particular Cascara is the dried cherry from Honduras Santa Rosa De Copan.
We sell this product as loose tea or natural cheery, in either sealed canisters or pouches to maintain flavour and freshness
