Cascara - Coffee Fruit Tea: This is exactly what it sounds like, just the dehydrated coffee fruit with no additives of any kind. This tea makes a wonderfully complex cup of tea with notes of cranberries, sweet hibiscus, strawberry, honey, and lemongrass along with a distinctly bright, pleasant acidity and almost simple syrup like texture. The second steeping is more reminiscent of an herbal tea with more delicate flavors of dry raspberry, cinnamon, lemongrass and a hint of ginger.
