A Rare Cascara Tea from Johor Liberica

Cascara is the dried skin of the coffee cherry — and this one comes from rare Liberica coffee grown in coastal Batu Pahat, Johor. Brewed like a tea, it's naturally light in caffeine with a sweet, fruity character of hawthorn and roselle. A delicious way to taste the whole coffee fruit.

Tasting Notes

Hawthorn · Roselle
Sweet, tart-fruity and refreshing, with a clean finish.

What Is Cascara?

Cascara means “husk” or “skin” in Spanish. The whole coffee cherries are washed and slowly sun-dried in a greenhouse; once dry, the skin (cascara) is separated from the bean and is ready to brew as tea. Liberica — a strong, rare species making up just ~1% of world coffee production — gives this cascara its distinctive flavour.
