Cascara has been embraced in the creation of simple syrups, sodas, teas, and reductions, showcasing its complex, floral qualities. This versatile ingredient is gaining popularity for its unique flavor profile and potential health benefits, including antioxidants and vitamins.
Cascara is the dried husk and fruit of the coffee cherry. When coffee is processed, the beans are removed from the cherry, and the pulp and skin are usually considered waste. Often, they are broken down for organic fertilizer. Cascara is now finding new life and purpose.
Every year, more producers are learning to dry and export cascara, turning what was once a byproduct into a valuable product. This trend not only reduces environmental impact but also provides coffee producers with additional revenue streams. By utilizing the entire crop, farmers can
increase their profitability and sustainability.
We like to enjoy our cascara as infusion. Unveil the notes of hibiscus flower, red currant and mango.
In March 2025, we had the opportunity to visit Finca Las Lajas, meet the family behind and lay the foundation for a long-term partnership. As a first step in this collaboration, we’re excited to offer this exceptional cascara — and it certainly won’t be the last standout product we bring you from the renowned Las Lajas.
