CASCARA – FINCA IRELANDA (Mexico)

cascara – coffee cherry tea
A drink rich in antioxidants and mainly polyphenols, something between tea and coffee with a small amount of caffeine. It is derived from the dried shell of coffee beans with flavour characteristics of the variety. It is consumed cold or hot and is a fruity pleasant concoction! Finca Irlanda, in Chiapas, is the first biodynamic coffee farm in the world. The Finca Irlanda cascara on offer is certified Organic and Demeter, guaranteeing a pesticide-free cascara! This is a natural coffee cascara. To obtain it, you need to wait for the coffee to dry completely. Once dry, after the cherries have been hulled, the hull is passed through a column of air, whose blast separates the cascara from the remaining parchment by density. We are lucky enough to be able to offer you some of this cascara for drinking. Another part remains on the farm and is used to nourish the soil of Finca Irlanda’s other crops (coffee, cocoa, vanilla, vanilla, turmeric, etc.) in a completely natural way. A real virtuous circle!
