cascara – coffee cherry tea
Ρόφημα πλούσιο σε αντιοξειδωτικά στοιχεία και κυρίως πολυφαινόλες, ..κάτι ανάμεσα σε τσάι και καφέ με μικρή ποσότητα καφεΐνης. Προέρχεται από το αποξηραμένο κέλυφος των κόκκων καφέ με γευστικά χαρακτηριστικά από την ποικιλία του. Καταναλώνεται κρύο ή ζεστό και είναι ένα φρουτώδες ευχάριστο αφέψημα!
Cascara is 50% less caffeinated than Arabica coffee!
All coffees produced at Finca Santa Isabel are grown in the dense shade of a highly protected ecosystem.
Guided by his principles to preserve the environment, Alex began to explore biodynamic practices to improve the health and quality of his coffees.
The result is a cascara of excellent quality, certified organic. To obtain it, the coffee is first dried with the skin, on raised beds for the first few days, then on the patio.
After drying and a resting period, the coffee is pulped. The skin is recovered, then passed through a sieve to remove dust and small particles.
How do you prepare a cascara infusion?
- For a hot brew, use a ratio of 1/35 (e.g. 14g cascara for 500ml) and water at 95°c. Stir at 4min, serve after 7min infusion.
- When cold, use a ratio of 1/30 (e.g. 25g cascara for 750ml) and water at room temperature. Mix, for example in a Hario cold brew bottle, and serve after 8hrs infusion.
THE FARM SANTA ISABEL
Finca Santa Isabel was founded in 1899. It is located in the village of Pueblo Nuevo Viñas. Coffee is grown here in the shade of endemic species in an organic / biodynamic system.
After being hit by rust, the owners decided to plant resistant arabica and robusta varieties. The decision was also made to ban chemicals and turn to organic farming throughout the farm. The farm is fully equipped to produce high-quality washed, honey and natural coffee.
Guided by his principles of environmental preservation, owner Alex Keller began exploring biodynamic practices to improve the health and quality of his coffees. Coffee is not the only activity on the farm. Alex also grows turmeric, citrus and bamboo, and raises sheep and bees to produce honey.
Finca Santa Isabel also contributes to the upkeep of a school for over 300 pupils, a soccer pitch and a clinic for its staff. It has also supported the municipality with road maintenance and electrical power projects.
