Cascara + Coffee Flour
Zero Waste & Non-Coffee Beverage
Explore Coffee Beyond the Bean
Neither Cascara nor Coffee Flour taste anything like coffee beans! Yet, both are crucial parts of the coffee fruit, the dried fruity pulp or husk, which envelopes the coffee bean. We were drawn to Cascara and Coffee Flour because of the wasteless angle and a desire to use literally as many byproducts of the coffee supply chain as possible. However, we are loving our discovery of these as ingredients in their own right!
Know the Grower
The Arabica from which the Cascara and Coffee Flour come, has been grown by our partner producers in Biligirirangan Hills. This region, BRT as it is fondly known is a magnificent forest with elevational gradients that go from 800 to 1600m! This unique range in altitude enables all major forest types and this in turn produces a magical cup of coffee, cascara and coffee flour!
