Cascara Lechuza 100g - Salvador

Sourcing note

Cesar Magana, Q Grader and specialty coffee globetrotter, has finally settled down on his family's micro farm in Juayua, overlooking the Apaneca volcano range, with plans to create a sustainable and food self-sufficient production model. Cesar has kindly reserved his Geisha plots exclusively for Terres de Café. 

What is Cascara ? 

Is the skin and sweet pulp that surrounds the pit of the coffee cherry. This pit, when roasted, will become a coffee bean. Fresh, the pulp is a delight with notes of grenadine, spices, pepper, guava, mango...depending on the terroir and variety. Once dried in the sun, the aromas of the pulp are enriched by the organoleptic complexity of the fermentation process. Slightly caffeinated, delicious and refined, cascara also has antioxidant and draining properties. To be enjoyed as a hot or iced infusion, but also as a simple syrup or in a pastry.

PULP is part of the sustainability strategy we are pursuing with Terres de Café's partner farms. Indeed, this new product constitutes an additional income for the farmer thanks to a diversification of his production.
