They are all coffee fruits. Coffee beans are so popular, but few people know that the peel can also be drunk.

After drinking coffee for so many years, is the coffee in your memory a drink made from roasted coffee beans, ground into powder, and then processed and brewed? After drinking it over and over again, what you drink is the powder ground from the beans after peeling. So many people think that the peel of coffee beans cannot be eaten or drunk. Is this true?

In fact, coffee peels can be drunk, and their drinking history may be longer than that of roasted coffee. When early people discovered coffee, they did not find that coffee beans could be drunk after being roasted. Instead, they drank the whole coffee berries directly. It was not until time passed that people discovered new ways to make coffee that it developed into the coffee we see today.

So does anyone still drink coffee cascara? Yes, Yemen, Bolivia, Ethiopia and other regions still retain the tradition of drinking coffee cascara or whole coffee. However, these drinking methods are not commercialized. The person who commercialized or promoted coffee cascara tea to the world should be a coffee grower from El Salvador, who named this cascara tea "Cascara".

In terms of taste, the taste of cascara tea is completely different from that of coffee. Cascara tea has a strong fruity flavor, a sweet taste, and a more tea-colored color. For many people, coffee may taste more sour and bitter than sweet. Although they come from the same source, their tastes are completely different.

People like to drink coffee partly because of the caffeine it contains. Do you also wonder if the caffeine in coffee is also found in the coffee peel? Here is the answer: Yes, coffee peel also contains caffeine, and its content is about 12%-25% of the caffeine content in coffee beans.

According to the data, the caffeine content in fruit peels is lower than that in coffee beans. However, many people who have drunk fruit peel tea say that fruit peel tea is actually more refreshing than coffee beans. Scientific researchers have not yet come to a conclusion on this point.

If you want to refresh yourself but don't want to drink coffee, you can have a cup of coffee cascara tea. And cascara tea, like coffee beans, may taste different due to different bean species and quality. If you want to find the cascara tea you like, you can try cascara teas made from coffee fruits from different regions and climates to find the one that suits you best.
