Cascara - that's Spanish and means shell or pod. In fact, it is the dried shell of the coffee bean , the coffee cherry. As an infusion, it becomes an invigorating tea with fruity notes of orange and rosehip. In addition to vitamin B2 & vitamin E and antioxidants, cascara contains a good amount of caffeine , even more than coffee. In addition, Cascara is super sustainable, because Cascara is actually a waste product of coffee processing. The production of cascara utilizes the entire product - from the bean to the shell. Zero-waste, sustainable and delicious. With the purchase of our natural pick-me-up you secure an additional source of income for the coffee farmers.
