Product description
We finally have a cascara! Cascara (Spanish for "husk") are the dried skins of coffee cherries, which are obtained by shelling the beans. Their fruity and sweet taste reminds you that coffee is a fruit and that the fruit in which the beans grow is very very good! Prepare this delicious fruit tea and expect the flavours of rosehip and fresh tobacco. It is a sweet drink that contains about a third of the caffeine of coffee. It tastes great warm but also on the rocks with a slice of orange!

About cascara

The Montero family is a pioneer in micro-mills in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. Carlos Montero has been growing coffee all his life and comes from a long line of farmers. He had a vision to process his own coffee fruit and work more directly with consumers – in 2014 he built Don Eli, named after his father. Carlos has also been instrumental in encouraging many other coffee growers in the Tarrazu region to do the same and begin establishing relationships with roasters.

There are several ways of processing cascara and each has its own preferences. In this case, the Monteros are using cascara from coffee that they have dried using the dry method. As you may know, all coffees must be parchment dried for export. Usually the parchment and dried fruit are thrown away or reused in some way. In the case of cascara, the family separates the dried fruits from the seeds in their own dry mill on site. They have special equipment to separate and clean the cascara to prepare it for export and consumption.

How to understand the grid on packaging?

We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to choose your coffee, so we worked with the guys from Steezy Graphic Studio to come up with a “grid” – a simple grid where you can easily find the characteristics of each coffee.
The red dot next to the description of each coffee is placed exactly there, so that you can easily imagine how the coffee will taste.

Citrus – chocolate
Here we’d like to give you an idea of how fruity the coffee will be. There’s a long way from citrus to chocolate, so imagine more in between:
citrus, berries, green apples, red apples, stone fruits, dried fruits, nuts, milk chocolate and dark chocolate 😉

Mild – wild
What is mild coffee? We’d say it’s unpretentious. A coffee that you can just have every morning and not have to think too much about it. It’s just good.
The higher the dot, the more excitement you can expect in the taste of coffee. The more surprising and fun it can be. These coffees are fruity, fun, interesting and make you think about what it is that you actually enjoy about them so much.
