CAN CASCARA BE CONSIDERED AN "ALTERNATIVE TO COFFEE"?

Actually yes, even "coffee alternative, with caffeine!" For example, if you need energy for tough days and don't want to just drink coffee, you can drink CASCARA, it's a great alternative to coffee!

...BUT DOES CASCARA CONTAIN CAFFEINE?

Yes. All parts of the coffee plant contain caffeine: the beans, the pulp...even the leaves!

A cup of CASCARA contains a similar amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. The amount depends on the method of preparation, brewing time, etc.

...BUT HOW DOES CASCARA TASTE?

Good question!

Do you know what coffee tastes like? Well, CASCARA tastes completely different!

It's not typically roasted like coffee beans, and it's the pulp, not the beans.

It's like an avocado: the pulp tastes completely different from the stone!

I have to say that when we first tried CASCARA we were skeptical too, we weren't used to this taste. After drinking it two or three times, we loved it! Well, you have to taste it....

...SO I HAVE TO DRINK ONLY CASCARA, AND NEVER COFFEE AGAIN?

No! We don't mean that!

Coffee beans and CASCARA (the pulp) both come from coffee cherries, they grow together... because they are one fruit. That's why we should consume both.
