guatemala cascara from clifton coffee roasters is a gesha varietal grown in antigua, one of guatemala's most established coffee-producing regions. cascara refers to the dried coffee cherry husk, giving this product a distinctly tea-like character, with black tea the primary tasting note. it sits closer to an infusion than a conventional brewed coffee, making it well-suited to steeping methods that treat it like a loose-leaf tea, such as a french press or simple hot water immersion. expect a light, delicate cup with gentle tannins rather than the body or bitterness of a typical espresso or filter coffee.
