THE REFRESHER YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED
Think of this as the ultimate plot twist in the coffee story. Cáscara (Spanish for "husk") is a traditional infusion made from the dried skins of the coffee cherry. While it’s been a staple in Yemen and Ethiopia for centuries, it’s only recently become the go-to for those looking for a lighter, more botanical alternative to their morning brew.
COFFEE CHERRY ID
THE GROWER
Los Rodríguez Family
REGION: Caranavi
Our current lot comes from the renowned Rodriguez family in Bolivia. These cherries were hand-picked from high-altitude Java variety trees, grown at over 1,500 meters where the thin air and rich soil produce a natural sweetness and a tart, vibrant acidity.
Java
While most Cáscara is a blend of whatever cherries are on hand, this lot is strictly Java. Originally from Ethiopia but made famous in Indonesia, this variety is prized for its elongated beans and elegant cup quality. When processed as Cáscara, the Java variety provides a more refined, floral complexity that you won't find in more common commercial varieties.
Sun-Dried
The "skin" of the cherry is where the magic happens. After the coffee seeds (the beans) are removed, the pulped fruit is meticulously cleaned and sun-dried at the Buena Vista Mill. This slow drying process at high altitude concentrates the natural sugars and organic acids within the peel, resulting in a tea with a deep, plum-like sweetness and a crisp apple finish.
