Cascara Coffee Berry Tea

Coffee Berry Tea sourced from our friends Rosalio Ventura and his family members. Cascara is a beverage made from the dried husks of the same coffee cherries used to produce roasted coffee. You might be surprised by how lively and bright this beverage is, especially after being able to compare the fruit to its roasted bean counterpart. These are from the Parainema Variety of coffee which we found in the Ocotepeque region in Honduras.

The beverage made from Coffee Berries has been referred to as "Sultana" in some regional cafés, and is commonly consumed in Bolivia with cinnamon as an alternative to brewed coffee. The Yemeni variant is called "Qshir" (we have this available for comparison!).
