The coffee cascara (Spanish for “peel”) is the dehydrated skin of the fruit of coffee, that appears as a small red berry (the cherry). In the past the cascara was considered a by-product of the process and thus only used as fertilizer. Today the cascara is more and more used and appreciated for its sweet and fruity taste. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and potassium, it contains less caffeine than coffee; the notes it offers are of rosehip, pear and hibiscus.

Aroma: Sweet, fruity, with notes of rosehip, apple and cinnamon.
Properties: Rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and minerals like potassium and iron.
Caffeine: Contains less caffeine than traditional coffee: an extraction of 10 g of cascara in 250 ml of water gives approximately 20 mg of caffeine in the final drink.
Preparation:
  1. Doses: 60g for 1L water
  2. Infusion: Pour hot water at 90°C on the dried skin
  3. Time: Steep for 10 minutes
  4. Filtering: After 10 minutes, the beverage is ready. You can filter it with a strainer or a paper filter.
The cascara is sustainable, as it recycles a part of the coffee fruit, and it can be drunk hot or cold.
