Cascara – Dried coffee cherries: For true connoisseurs of speciality coffee

Discover the secret of Cascara – the dried coffee cherries that captivate with their unique blend of sweetness, freshness and natural flavour. Our Cascara comes directly from the slopes of the Poás volcano in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, a region renowned for its exceptional terroir and rich soils. Grown beneath shady trees, the variety Red Catuai combines centuries-old traditions with modern processing methods to offer a product of unrivalled quality.

What makes our Cascara special?
The cherries are carefully dried on a concrete surface, after which they are stored in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. This meticulous process ensures purity and preserves the natural flavours. Additional testing for mould, bacteria and pesticides confirms the product’s exceptional quality.
