Hala Tree will not let any part of their excellent 100% Kona Coffee go to waste! Cascara means “peel” or “skin” in Spanish, and is made from the dried fruit (“cherry”) of the coffee bean. While very popular in other areas of the world, it is fairly new in the United States. Cascara has a tart, yet sweet flavor that somewhat resembles cherries, though it is more similar to apple cider or tamarind. You can drink it as is, or add a cinnamon stick or a couple of cloves. In hot weather try making it as an iced tea and dropping in an orange wedge! This fruity infusion has caffeine (about 1/4 of the amount in a cup of coffee) plus antioxidants and vitamins, making it a natural energy drink. Steeping Time – 5 Minutes Water Temp – 212 F Dried coffee fruits (“coffee cherries”). Cocoa/ Fig / Tobacco $16.25 for 12 oz. $20.30 for 1 lb.

The water process: The green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.."

Unique stuff, adopts some attributes from the country of origin but is always known for its more floral versus tea like spice attributes normally seen in coffees like an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Usually a very expensive bean being so low yield but being such good friends with Selva Negra, they have kept the price basically the same as all the other strains for the first season release of just Geisha! Nicaraguan Selva Negra coffee is cultivated in the most ecologically sustainable and socially responsible way possible. San Felipe: Selva Negra has owned a small section of land called San Felipe for a while, highest altitude parcel on the farm but due to its steep slope and slight separation from the other lots, it was never farmed. 8 years ago, Mausi (owner of Selva Negra) was able to get her hands on a few Geisha beans. After they were able to plant these and then get a few harvests, they had enough seeds to plant about 500 trees on the highest altitude section of San Felipe. As Geisha is not known for its high yields, they planted the rest of the plot with their best Caturra. They matched the Geisha tree with Caturra, for Selva Negra supplied the SE Roasters Guild with single varietal samples from different altitudes. The guild found the most impressive difference when tasting was the Caturra between low grown , middle mountain grown, and then high grown. It was like flavors got exponentially better as the altitude was increased, so this strain was the best choice for the higher elevations of the field to grow next to the Geisha. This is the first year they separated the Geisha harvest from the Caturra. The now 8 year old trees finally produced enough cherry to throw off its own micro-lot."

Although it is a Colombian coffee this is not for you traditional Colombian fans. Very unique tastes in this offering. If you enjoy coffees like Ethiopian Naturals, Indo Bali Kintamani, Zambia Natural, this will be right down your alley. One will see pretty two-toned roasting with it and very fruit forward winy/floral/fruity tones. Manos Juntas is a micromill in Sotara area of Colombia’s Cauca region, operated and managed by Banexport. The entire concept of this micromill is based on simplifying tasks and responsibilities, for both producers and export companies. This particular offering was first purchased in its cherry form when delivered to the mill by eight local producers, on the day of harvest. Upon arrival, the Brix and pH were recorded, and the cherries were placed in large hermetic tanks for a five-day-long anaerobic fermentation. After this, the cherries were taken to raised beds under a parabolic dryer to begin their 30-day process of slowly drying. Processing coffee is half the battle for small scale farmers, which is why Banexport decided to establish Manos Juntas Micromill, in which they purchase cherries from producers and manage the processing, drying, and storage themselves. This model allows producers to focus on healthy production of specialty coffee, while the meticulous work of sorting, processing, drying, and storing is managed by Banexport’s team.."
