While most of us are familiar with coffee (like duh, this is a coffee website!), not much light is shed on coffee cherry tea, also known as cascara tea. So here we are, placing a pedestal on the unassuming but perfect bridge between coffee and tea. Cascara means “husk” in Spanish, and while it is still not very mainstream in the Western world, the history of this beverage goes back centuries to Ethiopia (and no wonder, that’s the birthplace of coffee), where it is called “Qishr”. Coffee is a fleshy cherry-like fruit, and the coffee beans that we know are the roasted seeds from these cherries ..read more
