Cascara is Spanish for shell, husk, peel or skin.
Before humans roasted coffee beans they were were already creating coffee drinks brewed from the dried cherries.
The resulting drink made from steeping the dried coffee cherries is sweet, and akin to a raisin or cranberry tea.
In Ethiopia and Yemen the drink is known as Qishr.
In Bolivia as Sultana; “the poor man’s coffee".
modcup is fascinated with cascara and eager to see its use increased.
We find it bizarre that we buy from fruit farmers who don’t actually sell their fruit!
If we can utilize the dried fruit in other cuisines or recipes, the coffee farmers we buy from would have two products to sell, meaning better reinvestment in crops and therefore better coffees.
I have not received this order although I have received order placed after this one UPS tracking is very unreliable. Too many orders are just "LOST" The robots can't seem to figure out things.
Never disappointed with the coffee here. Always fresh, best tasting coffee. A huge fan of Mod Cul coffee!!
Love this one in rotation as a complement to the Pink Bourbon!
I drink a lot of 90+ coffee that was rated by coffeereview.com and by far this is the best coffee I have had. Very fruity and you taste every not together and separately.
