Cascara – Guatemala Bourbon Natural offers a unique and naturally sweet experience from the fruit that surrounds the coffee bean. Sourced from Bourbon varietals grown in Guatemala, this cascara (meaning “husk” or “peel” in Spanish) comes from carefully sun-dried coffee cherry skins after the seed (bean) has been removed.
Unlike coffee as you know it, cascara is brewed like a tea, resulting in a vibrant, lightly caffeinated infusion with notes of red fruit, hibiscus, and a honey-like sweetness. It’s a perfect introduction to a lesser-known part of the coffee world—refreshing hot or iced, and ideal for adventurous brewers, herbal tea lovers, or anyone seeking a naturally energizing drink with a fruity twist.
Cascara contains antioxidants and low levels of caffeine (less than brewed coffee), and is a fantastic way to experience more of the coffee plant while also supporting a zero-waste approach to farming.
Brewing Tips:
Use 5–7 grams per 250ml of water at 90–95°C. Steep for 4–6 minutes. Enjoy warm or pour over ice for a summer refresher. You can also cold brew it overnight for a juicy, iced alternative.
