This is super interesting! Coz I have a coffee tree that refuses to grow fruit, now I can at least use its leave to make tea!
You should have ground up the ginger too. It gives a lot stronger flavor when mashed/ground.
Or do it with dried ginger. That should give a much stronger (but not super sharp) taste. When I make homemade Chai I always use dried ginger, and this seems pretty similar in the ingredients used, swapping out black tea leaves for the coffee fruit.
The old school tv news briefing jingle always cracks me up 😆
I tried some unroasted leaves from my coffee tree houseplant and it tasted like green bell peppers! Malabar spinach leaves tasted the same raw. Glad to know you agree on the coffee leaf tea.
I've seen footage from coffee farms in Brazil where they harvest the berries using giant hedgetrimmers to lop off branches. I suppose there isn't much demand for the leaf for tea, but they must be composting tons of it.
Next time you try the cascara, try using some sugar or I prefer light colored raw honey in teas. Whenever something has that kind of tartness or bitterness, the other flavors will come out when you cut it. The best example I can give that everyone can try is: Twinings makes a black tea with pomegranate, if you make that tea, it smells amazing, but then the taste is underwhelming and doesn't match the scent at all. If you add some flower honey, it changes the flavor completely, and is much more fitting to how it smells. I keep saying "light" or "flower" honey because there's different kinds, at least in raw honey, and the dark one has a totally different taste, and isn't very good in tea's in my opinion. Although the light ones that are all solidified in a jar aren't good either. It should have the same syrupy consistency, but a lighter color. (I've tried lots of honey's before finding the right one)
Oh, and another useless piece of information, Kaskara is the Sudanese word for sword. Spelled differently, but sounds the same. ^_^
You should get a bunch of raw beans and roast them and see how varying roasts change the taste of the brew
What he really should do is roast a bunch of green beans and brew it!
HI JARED! Thanks for doing some stuff with the lesser used parts of the plant. Coffee cherry tea is actually really nice. Thanks for putting one of my favourite plants to good use.
If you haven't done so already, you should check out Caribbean Bush Tea. Basically it's an herbal tea, but not from a teabag or dried herbs (at least not the version I tried many years ago in the U.S. Virgin Islands). It's made out of freshly-picked local herbs, leaves (and I think maybe even some roots) brewed in water and it's supposed to be good for your health. I believe that different islands have their own local variations on this drink.
Your videos are so satisfying, I love how thorough you are with your testing - really hits the spot.
Qishr looks fantastic, I will definitely be trying that one out!
I love this channel, keep up the great work :)
Why are you always so creative with these things in life
I absolutely loved cascara when i had it!!!
Great review. I like coffee leaves tea
cascara fiber is really nice on the digestive system if u drink coffee the flavour comes out nicely.
Nice tea kettle
Awesome
very good advice
Never would have thought to make a tea of of coffee leaves
Thanks for the gratuitous kitty shots. 🙃
Seeing you drop a small amount of the tea ingredients down the side of your oven, I thought "Imagine the next person to move into this apartment, they get a new oven and pull out a bunch of plants/seeds from behind it" Lol.
Cascara sounds really good. Definitely gonna get some of that stuff. I wonder how it would be with the coffee bean and the cascara mixed, or maybe just putting a splash of cascara in coffee for a flavoring agent, or vise versa.
Just make sure you buy the right one. "Cascara sagrada" (Spanish for "sacred bark," whereas the coffee one probably had its origin in some Ethiopian language) is from a buckthorn native to the US Pacific Northwest, and is used as a strong laxative!
Are you ever going to visit Hawaii? You should try the Rubus hawaiensis. An endemic raspberry
Very interesting!
Thanks. Very interesting. I think Tea leaves are fermented, except for green tea, which is steamed, to stop the fermentation, then dried. Maybe if someone fermented the coffee leaves.
@Weird Explorer another leaf to try, Ceylon (true) cinnamon leaves.
I like it when you say things wrong. 😄
Have you tried yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) tea? It is made from the leaves of a thornless holly native to the southeastern USA (analogous to mate' from Paraguay etc) and is America's only native caffeinated drink. It tasted a little between coffee and tea to me when I tried it in middle school.
I'm not sure anything with vomit in the name would stay down long😧😂
I have an ilex vomitoria growing in my yard. I dried some leaves once and made a tea out of them and that coffee + tea comparison is not bad. Reminds me a bit of red rooibos too. I wonder about the fermenting thing. Would that improve the flavor? How do you do that?
@@karencrook8375 The Creek or possibly Cherokee natives had a purge ceremony to purify themselves for the new maize season (don't remember if pre planting or pre-harvest), and drank yaupon tea then but used something else to induce vomiting (to "purify" themselves). My history is fuzzy, but the nomenclature story is interesting. The plant was originally supposed to be named after something (I believe a someone, as in a friend or hero of the collector) else, but some British tea company lobbied for "vomitoria" based on the Native ceremony and as propaganda against the plant (which could compete with their product). Now I need to look this stuff up...
I have that SAME red brita filter
I bwt you can role the leaves and alow them to ferment for a better flavor like with tea leaves.
I remember they were selling cascara at Starbucks a few years ago.
Can the coffee leaves also be milled fine and used like matcha?
Cascara just means husk. The emphasis ks ln tje first a. CAAAAHHHH-sca,ra
Lol I was just about to comment that, Jared says it as if it was specifically the name for the Coffee husk.
Didn't know that!
You should do a video on a drink called Yerba Mate a South American drink mainly from Argentina, South Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and the different types ie The tea with leaves traditionally, the instant and the tea bag form. Amazing drink and better than coffee I Yerba is a long lasting energising effects packed with vitamins and minerals. The healthiest form is the unsmoked version and the smoked version is not as healthy. My favourite is the instant version. You don’t crash like coffee. I switched to Yerba from coffee but you have to find the right one for you. Some taste terribly bitter and others really pleasing. Full of saponins for ant-inflammatory effect, theobromine for a lift in mood that’s in chocolate and a reasonable amount of caffeine some like the same as coffee and others like quarter of a cup of coffee.
I believe its called coffee coffee coffee
Do you have to dry the coffee leaves if you’re using them immediately? I often make herbal teas from fresh herbs from the garden, without drying them.
you should do a taste test on salmonberry and cloudberry i cant find uch on them but they seem cool
I find the taste of Salmonberry berry to be similar to raspberry but not as strong, with a slight lemon note. Imagine drinking weak pink lemonade while eating a single raspberry. They grow wild all over the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Looking forward to trying cloud berry some day.
Do you any of these have chemical effects like coffee?
I’m told that coffee plants are picky about setting fruit. So perhaps in some conditions it would be easy to harvest leaves but impossible to get fruit and hence coffee beans...
I should give that a try, considering I'm a tea fiend in coffee country.
Where is that?
@@TNUni167 I hope you understand if I prefer not to say it. Too many idiots making fun of my country has made me wary of it.
@@TheWeirdestOfBugs US?
@@TheWeirdestOfBugs I promise you I won't. That's pretty stupid to make fun of an entire country. I bet those kids making jokes about have never been there.
I really wish I could get coffee cherries. The one drink from Starbucks I thought was actually good was the Cascara Coffee but since I've moved I can't find coffee cherries yet.
Interesting, I never thought about drying my coffea cherries and making a tea out of them. Do you know what stage they pick them for this? I usually eat mine right off the tree as they ripen and they're pretty sweet. No bitter or sharpness to them, almost like eating a Bing cherry, so wondering if they just dry them, or if they let them ferment and dry them?
Never thought about using the leaves either.
Best to dry them when they're still firm-ish, maybe just sliiiiiightly under-ripe. Fruits that's soft doesn't dry well in my experience; also split it open so the watery inside is exposed, it dries faster that way.
I love you!❣️
Your so is so purposeful
You should try persimmon leaf tea.
I like making it in the fall after the leaves turn yellow on the trees. It’s got a nice delicate flavor to it
Thanks for the idea!
I'm going to have to try this once my trees are bigger
what if you mix all 3 and make the ultimate coffee 😮
If legal where you live you should try making tea from cannabis leaves, but don't use that butter recipe every stoner talks about, brew it like regular tea. It has a pepper like taste if made strong and usually comes out a nice olive brown color, specially when the leaves are dried.
Cannabis leaves are also a great herb for pizza, tomato sauce, omelettes and marinades. You can use it anywhere you would use basil, oregano or thyme.
Wize Monkey Tea is an entire line of coffee leaf tea. They are helping create year round work at the plantations. Awesome owners of the company too, very good hard working young guys. You should totally check out their stuff. You could totally ask them for samples to review and see how you like it versus what you tried.
Why! Why you did not try dried coffee fruits as they are! They looked so delicious.
A little bit of sugar 😂. Oops you did it again. Love your videos. Thank you.
Sounds baller
When you think about it, coffee (the drink made from ground beans) is also a tea (tea as in tisane or infusion, not as in Camellia sinensis leaves). You make it by steeping the plant material in hot water. That’s a tea.
Yeah, makes sense
But what does the coffee fruit taste like raw?
Maybe not you but some people would be surprised what leaves, twigs, seeds could be made into tea, porridge, or salad.
does it contain caffeine?
If Wanderlust Nursery is located in Seattle, does that mean coffee trees can be grown there? Or do they grow it in a greenhouse?
What is the benefit
i made fresh mulberry leaf tea... and it tasted like asparagus...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CLEAN YOUR TOASTER! (love the video)
You said the fruit contains caffeine. Do the leaves also?
The thing about the tea is the leaves likely needed to be aged, fermented, or sun dried to make it much like regular tea leaves.
I'd love to try that tea!
Do that then...? The video is literally about how to make it and it's not some highly exotic and expensive ingredient.
It's like going to an actual video recipe and say "I would love to taste that, but I can't since I'm not in the video and it only exists there, also, what is a "recipe"?".
@@MuscarV2 thats okay, get it off your chest.
Is that sound bite from a gwar video? Maybe phalice in wonderland? It sounds familiar and if you know of cannibal holocost , youd probably know about gwar on that level.
I neither drink coffee nor tea and would never try any of these, but I love these videos and learning about unconventional plant uses so this video gets my like.
I'm curious what the coffee cherry itself taste like when it's fresh, does it just taste like a cherry, or does it actually have a different flavor to it, because cascara doesn't really taste like cherries itself. I'm also curious what a dried cherry used for tea, similar to the process of the cascara, would taste like, if there's any similarities or if it'll have more of a typical cherry flavor. And finally, I'm curious if a cherry seed could be used in place of coffee beans, what roasting them would produce in terms of coffee.
I'd be REALLY careful about seeds of cherry (Prunus ssp). Prunus (includes peaches, plums, etc) seed kernels and leaves (also apple seeds and leaves) contain amygdalin, which turns to hydrogen cyanide.
You should do a coca tea review next.
YESSSS!
Pretty sure it's illegal where he lives... he may have to travel to do that.
@@jerotoro2021 i think you can buy pre processed coca leaves that have had all the coca compound taken out, sort of like what coca cola used to do or does.
He lives in NYC I believe, same as me. It's not illegal here but the coca leaves have to decocanized. He's often traveling so I'm sure he'll eventually land in a country where legal.
@@Dockhead Not much point to the coca tea though... People generally drink it for it's zippy effect (mini dose of cocaine). I have a friend that has tried it legally in Peru, so he could go there for it.
Watch a video of how Oolong tea is cured then dry your coffee leaves properly, you'll find it's delicious.
You have to get on Twitter!
Doc Raja no don’t do that! I’m not on Twitter! Just RUclips lol
twitter is full of degeneracy. but then again youtube has more.
Kiwifruit next?
Ohhh... that needs to be cold brewed.
You trying to break the Space-Time-Continuum? With Coffee-Tea?!
Much tea drunk in the west is fermented - if it's black, you can probably put money on that.
Those waxy, leathery coffee leaves seem to be crying out for it.
I imagine that a good dose of yeast and bacteria would increase porosity/permeability and - almost certainly - flavour.
To make my bias clear, I'm a Brit refugee from the 60s, made up of - roughly - equal parts of: caffeine; nicotine and THC, who roasts his own beans and regards most teas slightly higher than dishwater as regards flavour, so, somewhat atypical.
Nevertheless, you've missed a trick - but saved yourself some time, not having to wait through a fermentation.
Maybe the subject of a short follow up, if your research finds a case for it?
The cherry husks have about half the caffeine of standard roasted coffee beans, on a dry weight percentage basis. I don't know anything about the extraction efficacy.
check your PO Box
wish i liked either coffee or tea. not green bean tea tho.
No man is a hero to his cat. 😹 Cascara or not.
Cat didn't want anything to do with the experiment!
Any other Starbucks baristas learning what cascara is for the first time?
@Weird Explorer. Hi, I know about this but have only seen husks maybe from one seller on eBay. Could you please share the website where you purchase the same pack you used, because could be good quality. I'm in UK but maybe the website sends there too. By the way, a great business idea, you could supply dried products like this on your website for sale!! People who are interested in exotic fruits and such could end up depending you or even buying as a novelty! Let me know what you think, I could help with this.
he would of bought from a US website, which means paying stupid percentage of tax on your item for when it hits UK land.
@@Dockhead If it's a large amount, maybe not if it's as light as a regular box of teabags. But maybe food regulations would make things different. However, if it's a joint venture and there's a UK based distribution for UK and Europe then just select country in the top right of the website and the products will already be in the UK sourced from where they originally come from - not through the US to get here - i.e could be husks from Ethiopia where coffee originates from. Or Yemen seeing as they drink it like this too, with cardamon and saffron and ginger, these could be premixed. OK anyone else wanna borrow this business idea from me?
Has anti ageing properties
James Hoffman has entered the chat.
What ever happened to the 'non milk' series?
greeeen beaaan flavor 😧😴 yucky. I H8 green beans. When I was a kid I used to carefully hide them in my hand and feed them to the cat under the table without being noticed. Kitty didn't eat them all, so the rest went into a napkin to be stealthily disposed off. I fed that kitty cat a lot of green beans during my childhood.😂😻
Have you ever been talked into trying something early on in your tasting only to find out later about uncomfortable side effects? If so what was the fruit, vegetable or drink you were convinced to try? Eew, green bean tea sounds disgusting. lol
.... Maybe if you don't think about the green beans when you eat green beans, maybe you'll like them too 😂
"Qishr" is pronounced like "gishr" with a 'g'
It’s a ق, so in Arabic it’d be pronounced kind of like a k or a g but much further back in the throat.
@@Eueueyw Yeah, the ق (q) sound would be pronounced as a k in the back of the throat in standard arabic, but in many modern dialects it has become a plain g.
"Qishr / qishra" means peel / husk in arabic. I wouldn't be surprised if the spanish cascara has roots in arabic.
@@ibrahima2553 I tried looking around, but apparently the Spanish and the Arabic roots have different etymologies, Spanish from the latin verb quatio (from the i.e. root *kʷeh₁t-, meaning to shake), while the arabic comes from the trilateral root ق ش ر (to peel?). Even so, I wouldn't doubt if Mozarabic influenced the development of the root, as it's also present in Portuguese as "casca". :)
@@formiga130 Interesting. Thanks.
pff, should have just used a g.
This kinda made me want a cup of tea, but it's hot out, so I'm going with cold brew coffee instead.
Iced tea is probably one of the best hot day drinks though.
Ohhhh... what if you cold brew the coffee leaves and fruit?
am i seriously the only person that drinks tea normally on a hot day?
iced tea (To Me) is a violation of tea itself.
@@MeAuntieNora I already had the coffee made, so I just had to pour it. I love iced tea as well, but it was a matter of convenience.
@@Dockhead nope. As an Okinawan I drink hot tea when it is hot. Green usualy though.
That's not coffee... wait.
The flowers are used for tea as well.
Nice!
Nevermind
How'd your stomach hold up after all these concoctions? Lol
Wait, that's illegal
I bet you never ate dates in this channel!

I resent paying silly money for what is essentially waste products, they are nice though.
I see “cascara” and I automatically think cascara sagrada, the laxative bark. Just the way I think, unfortunately
That's illegal
🤔...So-could either of these be carbonated? Might either of these be made into a soda?... 🤔
