Cascara tea, also known as coffee cherry tea, is a naturally low-caffeine drink. This healthy and refreshing herbal infusion has a vibrant fruity flavour.

What is it?

Cascara, meaning “husk” in Spanish, is derived from the dried outer skins of coffee cherries, the fruit that surrounds the coffee bean.

Instead of discarding these nutrient-rich husks, our partner farmers carefully clean and gently dry them using only the power of the sun. This process produces a naturally sweet beverage with a rich fruity flavour, accompanied by hints of hibiscus, rosehip, and red berries.

Despite its origin in coffee cherries, cascara tea tastes nothing like coffee, making it an excellent low-caffeine alternative for those who find the strong, bitter taste of regular coffee unappealing.

The coffee cherry plants are grown biodynamically, meaning they are free from pesticides and herbicides.

How to brew?

Add 3-4g of cascara per cup.
Steep in 100ml of hot water (90–95°C) for 8-10 minutes.
Strain and serve.

You can enjoy it hot or chilled as a refreshing iced tea.

Each portion can be re-brewed 2-3 times, allowing one pack to make 50-60 cups of tea.

Add a sprinkle of lemon juice for a citrussy twist, or a spoonful of raw honey for a touch of healthy goodness.

Pro Tip: Cold-brew cascara overnight in the fridge for a naturally sweet, invigorating energy drink that is low in calories and free of added sugars.

It is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and plant polyphenols.
Traditionally, cascara has been valued for aiding digestion, promoting gut health, and relieving constipation.

Sustainable & Ethical

The cascara tea is sourced from Finca Banyai, a micro plantation located in the heart of Costa Rica’s coffee-growing region at an altitude of 1530 meters above sea level, providing optimal conditions for cultivating the finest fruit.

The farm is operated by a dedicated team of Hungarian scientists and conservation experts, supported by locals with decades of experience. This collaborative effort ensures the long-term sustainability of Costa Rican coffee, adapting to climate change and future challenges.

By choosing coffee cherry tea, you’re aiding their efforts, as it transforms a by-product into a valuable drink. This eco-friendly process reduces agricultural waste and contributes to a more sustainable coffee culture.
