Cascara Santa Isabel - €8 / 100g
Cascara from the Santa Isabel farm, to infuse as
a tea, comes from the Anacafe 14 coffee varieties,
Sarchimor and Pache. They are all grown in the
farm of Martin and Alexander Keller, on a plot
volcanic and rich in minerals. Everything that's necessary
for an excellent cascara!
To get it, here's how the Kellers do it.
After harvest, the coffee cherries are brought
to the drying beds, in the shade to avoid
direct sunlight. For 20 days, the team of
Santa Isabel watches over each cherry with the greatest
care.
Then the cherries are brought to the processing station
drying, where they are pulped and dried. Once
dried, the pulp is washed and becomes the cascara that
we offer you.
In Guatemala, Martin and Alexander Keller are
figures in specialty coffee, and are among the few to
work biodynamically.We offered it for tasting at the Paris Café Festival 2024 with a cascara and cheese tasting.
