This year we're bringing back cascara from Guatemala in finer grind for you to bring out the bright, full flavours nice and fast.
We all love a roasted, aromatic coffee, but little did we know that the outer layer of the coffee cherry was so fruity, sweet, and delicious. With notes of rose hip and plum, rediscover coffee through our cascara tea. Compared to its beans, cascara contains only 1/4 to 1/8 of caffeine and is also rich in polyphenols.
Cascara has long been seen only as a byproduct and has been treated as production waste. By appreciating cascara's juicy deliciousness by drinking it, you can also reduce water pollution and help coffee producer's business even more. Definetly a win-win for everyone!

We source our cascara from GOOD COFFEE FARMS, a small-scale producers’ co-op in Guatemala. Their CEO, Mr. Carlos Melen traveled to Japan then moved to Hokkaido, the north end of Japan, and has been establishing a wonderful network between coffee producers in Guatemala and Japanese consumers, to promote a sustainable coffee production.
Perfect for brewing a delicious cup of coffee without the need for disposable filters. The body of the filter is made of porous ceramic with countless holes of several microns in diameter, which produces a far-infrared effect and filtration capacity to remove impurities and chalky odors from the water.
By filtering liquid through this fine mesh, which is invisible to the naked eye, miscellaneous taste is removed and makes your beverage more mellow. This is the same level of filtration as that found in water purifiers.
