 Cascara Finca Las Lajas 100g CAFES LUGAT

What is Cascara?

Cascara refers to an infusion made of the pulp and skin of the cherry that covers the coffee bean. the cherries are sun-dried before infusion. Cascara is prepared and served like tea by infusing the bark in hot or cold water. Although Cascara contains caffeine it is closer to tea when served. You'll find enjoy a light, silky, tea-like texture and the infusion develops a fruity aroma with notes of yellow fruit, fresh almond, plum and candied fig. Cascara is renowned for its antioxidant, laxative and draining properties.

Origins of Finca Las Lajas Cascara

This Cascara comes from the Las Lajas farm in Costa Rica's San José region. Cascara is harvested from coffee trees growing at altitudes of between 1,300 and 1,500 metres above sea level, where it develops its particularly fruity notes. If you choose to drink it hot, you'll enjoy a smooth texture with hints of almond. When brewed cold, it'll develop fruitier notes such as apricot.

Brewing Guide? Hot or Cold?

Cascara develops its aromas during infusion, whether you choose a hot or cold brew.

For a hot preparation of 20 centilitres, you can use a cafetière, add 8 grams of Cascara and pour hot water at 96° C, wait 8 minutes and enjoy.

For the iced version, you can infuse 20 grams of Cascara in room-temperature water for 12 hours before icing it. Each infusion temperature will develop different aromas.
