CASCARA// Costa Rica// Hacienda Sorona

Tasting Notes: Tamarind, Honey, Rosehip The word Cascara means skin, peel or shell in Spanish, and in the world of specialty coffee refers to the outer layer of a coffee cherry. You obtain it after the extraction of the coffee beans from the coffee cherry; it is the pulp that is sun-dried. Brewing cascara is not unlike brewing tea- use 6g/100ml water (95-98℃), let it steep for 4-5 minutes and then strain. Tastes great also as an ice tea or works perfect as a syrup.
