cascara is not roasted coffee, it is the dried skin and pulp of the coffee cherry, steeped as a tea. this version from owl eye coffee roasters uses cherries sourced from ethiopia and yemen, two of the oldest coffee-growing regions in the world. in the cup it is light-bodied and tea-like, with flavors of raisin and black tea rather than the roasted character you get from brewed coffee. to brew it, steep the dried husks in hot water as you would a loose-leaf tea, adjusting steep time to control strength.
