Cascara, Spanish for “husk and/or skin” is the dried fruit of the coffee cherry. Though a seemingly wasted portion of the coffee harvesting process, Cascara has actually been consumed for longer than roasted and brewed coffee in Arabia.

Cascara has a sweet and tart flavor, much like raisins. Once the cherry has been separated from the coffee seed (bean), the juicy fruit is dehydrated in ovens. The final product is a hard, dried fruit that can be steeped into a caffeinated, tea-like beverage filled with antioxidants.

Warning: This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Do not use Cascara if you are sensitive to caffeine or have a heart condition as it contains caffeine.Please consult your physician before use, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.
