Brewing: 2-3 Tbsp cascara per 10 oz hot water. Brew with 205-212 F water for 5 minutes. Strain & serve.
Cascara, otherwise known as coffee cherry tea, is the sweet burgundy skin of the coffee bean, sun-dried into a flavorful, lightly caffeinated tea.
To get the end product of cascara, the entire coffee cherry is sun-dried on large drying racks. Throughout the 14-20 day drying process, the cherries are hand-sorted for consistency and ripeness. After drying, the cherries are cured for up to 6 months, allowing the flavors to deepen. Finally, the whole cherry is dry-milled to separate the dried coffee cherry fruit from the green coffee bean. While the green coffee heads to the roaster, the dried cherry skins are sifted and stored for drinking.
This cherry tea includes fragments of the natural parchment skin from the coffee bean, which adds syrup & honey-like flavors.

Because Espresso Bites are made without stabilizers or preservatives, they may bloom or melt when shipping temperatures exceed 80 F. If this is a concern in your location please select FedEx shipping.
If you notice a white color to your bar, it's perfectly safe to eat. This happens when the cocoa butter softens and migrates to the surface. It happens more often when shipping in warm weather. Learn more about blooming.
Espresso Bites that melt or bloom when shipped via FedEx are eligible for a full refund or credit.
Espresso Bites that melt or bloom when the buyer elects Free Shipping or standard USPS are eligible for a credit.
