## Features

- ✔️YOUR IDEAL TEA: Cascara, a by-product of coffee processing, when dried and processed itself, becomes a delicious loose fruit tea. Cascara has a lower level of caffeine than coffee, but will still leave you with a refreshing, energetic buzz. Light bodied and rich, Cascara tea boasts fruity notes of sweet plum, honey, and hibiscus. It is perfect for that afternoon pick-me-up without having to rely second cup of coffee.
- ✔️TEA’S ORIGIN: Collected from the coffee processing of the Café Artesanal San Miguel Cooperative, this Cascara – “fruit skin” in Spanish – is processed, dried, and converted into a delicious and unique tea. Re-purposing the coffee fruit into this bright and fruity tea is a great way for our partner coffee farmers to increase their income and invest in the continued cultivation of their coffee fields.
- ✔️DIRECT TRADE MISSION: All DE LA GENTE tea is Direct Trade. As a coffee cooperative, we exist to improve the livelihoods of Guatemalan coffee farmers and their families by creating economic opportunity.
- ✔️SOCIAL IMPACT: By purchasing this tea you are supporting smallholder Guatemalan coffee farmers and their families. DE LA GENTE pays farmers 30% more than they would get selling to big exporters who pay hunger-wages for unprocessed coffee.
- ✔️GREAT GIFT: Surprise your friends and family this holiday season with a unique and socially conscious bag of Cascara tea. Not only will they love the well-balanced, fruit-forward, smooth-sweetness, they will be glad to know that they are contributing to positive change in a farmer’s life.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fair Price for a GREAT PRODUCT
        
*by M***. on February 7, 2019*

Honestly, I was very hesitant to buy this: I am from El Salvador and used to have Cáscara Tea all the time. In a sense I was scared that the flavor was not going to be the same or that it was not going to be as fresh... but it is. I know this product came from Guatemala, but it is like I just got a little piece of home in my cup (even thought I have to say that Guatemalan version of cáscara is a little bit less citric, but I am fine with that). I don't regret anything.My apologies for not having a cool tea infuser. I am stupid and forgot to order one along with the tea.UPDATE - Finally got a infuser cup for this. This is the best way to make this as hot tea and I used to have it ALWAYS done this way. Otherwise you will need to be fighting the little cascaras (or swallow them which is not nice)
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesomeness! Give it a try (in a French press)
        
*by M***W on May 3, 2019*

I love this tea, it is my favorite! Tastes like cherry and molasses with a slight sour finish. So, it's really good sweetened, I used honey or coconut sugar. Just make sure you don't over steep it because it can be crazy bitter (5 minutes is perfect). It's not as much caffeine as coffee but it's more than black tea.
