Name: Cascara
Retailer: Verve
We usually consume coffee beans, but here is new suggestion: Coffee cherry tea.
High quality coffee cherry brings a cup of refreshing and new sensation. Unlike usual coffee beans, aroma of CASCARA is a bit like Chinese herb. Brewing is same as herbal tea: put a spoonful cascara into a pot and pour hot water. The flavor of this eliminates the first aroma impression: English tea with lemon plus unique flavor.
Cascara perhaps derives from a Spanish word, means "husk". I have no idea how this product become popular but now there is a bit market in the States. It is said that Cascara contains higher caffeine than usual coffee beans, just like green coffee extract.
Does this Cascara bring a new market for coffee industry?? It is better to wait until how this booming expatiation turns out.
Beans: Queen Anne ～Blend
Roaster: Caffe Ladro
