Organic Cascara - Loose Leaf Botanical

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.

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.
