Cascara Finca Las Lajas - LUGAT

infusion cascara cafe finca las lajas cafes lugat


Cascara, what is it?

It is the pulp and skin of the coffee cherry that cover the coffee bean; they are consumed as an infusion. For its preparation, it is sun-dried before being infused. The coffee Cascara is enjoyed like a tea and reveals gentle notes of yellow fruit, fresh almond, plum and candied fig that will delight both coffee lovers and tea enthusiasts.

Gourmand and comforting, lightly caffeinated, it has antioxidant, laxative and draining properties. The Cascara contains caffeine, yet when tasting it you will find a light, silky texture similar to rooibos.

The origin of Cascara Finca Las Lajas

This Cascara comes from the Las Lajas farm in Costa Rica’s San José region. It is harvested from coffee trees growing between 1,300 and 1,500 m above sea level, which develops its particularly fruity.

When tasting, if you choose a hot drink you will enjoy a smooth texture with notes of almond and baked apple. With a cold preparation you will bring out fruitier notes such as apricot.
