Cascara - Coffee pulp infusion
Discover the fruit of the coffee
Cascara - coffee pulp infusion is an invitation to rediscover coffee from a new perspective.
Contrary to popular belief, coffee is not just a bean. Before being roasted, it is the kernel of a fruit called a coffee cherry . Cascara is obtained from the skin and pulp of this cherry, carefully dried after harvesting.
Long consumed in producing countries, this infusion reveals a unique aromatic universe, halfway between a fruit infusion, a delicate tea and a very light coffee.
At La Réminiscence , we have selected an exceptional Cascara to offer a cup that is as refined as it is unexpected.
A second life for the coffee fruit
Cascara is the expression of a more complete and respectful approach to coffee.
Traditionally, only the bean is used to produce roasted coffee. By utilizing the skin and pulp of the fruit, Cascara reveals another facet of the coffee cherry while limiting waste.
This age-old practice now allows us to discover a naturally sweet, fruity and particularly refreshing drink.
