How do you make tea using 100% coffee? The answer is cascara (Spanish for “husk”). It’s made from the dried skins of the coffee cherry, which are removed to access the ‘bean’ we all know and love, hidden inside.
You’ll typically find cascara being enjoyed among coffee-growing communities. It’s often used by coffee farmers as feed for livestock or as a fertilizer to add nutrients back into the soil. Because it’s considered a ‘byproduct’, it’s cheaper to drink than coffee, yet still offers the benefit of caffeine.
In Yemen, it’s referred to as Qishr, a tea made with cascara, cinnamon, ginger or caraway. In Ethiopia, it’s called Geshar or Hashara, and its darkly roasted until almost black, and infused in water for a longer period to create an intensely fruity brew. In Bolivia it’s called Sultana, where they enjoy it with cinnamon, clove, and sugar.

Coffee cascara has loads of polyphenols and it's been found to be protective for the brain.
I do recommend putting the whole or half fruit chunks thru your coffee grinder and chopping up them into smaller pieces. It brews better and quicker!!

COFFEE CHERRY TEA
VERY NICE RECIPE
WELL EXPLAINED
WE TRIED AT HOME
CAME OUT VERY NICE
Looks great, thank you.
Thank you very much for this topic
The (qashr ) coffee drink is a favorite among residents of southern Saudi Arabia and Yemen
you did a good job
I definitely want to try this! Thanks for the video, this is the first time I've ever heard of cascara.
+Heather Rowley - It was pretty new to me too until recently. Really flavorful stuff. I expected it to be like other herbal/fruity teas that smell awesome, but taste like hot water. The cascara tea though, was really rich in flavor. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
VERY NICE RECIPE
The Yemeni version Qishra bascially means cover or outer-most layer in Arabic
That's what cascara means in Spanish. When we peel mangos for example, the skin can be just called the mango's cascara.

Looks awesome. Funny though that a by product of another process is probably dirt cheap to the locals but once someone determines that there's some use and possible health benefit the price skyrockets. I only looked briefly but it looks like this stuff runs $20+ a pound. Reminds me of whey protein. A by product of cheese making. Once thought of as waste and it was feed to livestock because it was cheap or free. Someone figured out people can use it as a supplement and now look...$10+ a pound for a waste product...lol
+Chad Ashton - To be honest, this is a concern I have as well. Kinda like what happened to quinoa. Used to be an affordable staple of developing countries, and now people are having fits if they're out-of-stock at Costco. But with fair trade practices, my hope is that this winds up being another source of income for coffee farmers.
Except for lil Miss Muffet... she ate her curds AND her whey 👀 #aheadofhertime
just a question but where in the EU can i get this? cheaply {like 1kg for less than 6 euro}
hmmm interesting, I should keep an eye out for these :p
+Endrikh Darkvine CXVI so do they contain caffeine?
+Endrikh Darkvine CXVI oops i just read it does nvm
+Endrikh Darkvine CXVI - No problem! You can checkout the blog post linked in the description for more information about cascara. It has more caffeine then tea, but less than coffee. Thanks for watching!

+Wen M. - Hi, Wen. Looks like there was a bug in the system and your comment was duplicated a couple times. Please know that I greatly appreciate your note! Cascara was pretty new to us too, so it was a delightful discovery. Definitely worth trying if you're able to find it. Thanks for watching!
