Cascara, or dried coffee cherry husk, is a fruity, and slightly sweet byproduct of coffee processing that resembles tea more than a cup of coffee. Made from Arabica coffee, it is light-bodied with notes of hibiscus, rosehip, and sometimes tobacco.
You’ll be buying directly from the producer. The Locavore does not handle orders, payments, delivery, or customer support.
Cascara is typically discarded after the coffee fruit is pulped, and thus, can pollute waterways, contaminate natural streams, or leach into the soil. At The Locavore, we love how it reflects a more conscious, thoughtful way of using ingredients. Plus, it makes for a versatile beverage!
Brew it like you would a loose-leaf tea. It also tastes great as a cold brew: steep overnight, strain and refrigerate the next morning. Also, a creative base for cocktails.
Black Baza works with smallholder coffee growers—in BR Hills, the Nilgiris, Palani Hills, and Wayanad—who cultivate coffee in harmony with nature, under the shade of native trees. Their approach focuses on conserving biodiversity and wildlife corridors, and ensuring that the growers are paid fairly.
