Have you ever heard of #Cáscara , a tea made from the coffee cherry? 🫖 Most coffee lover have heard that coffee beans grow inside of coffee cherries. But what many don‘t know is that the dried pulp of the cherry, the Cáscara (Spanish for shell), can also be consumed as a hot, caffeinated infusion – Cáscara coffee cherry tea. The coffee cherries of our coffee cherry tea are cultivated on a Brazilian coffee plantation at an altitude of 1,200 meters, with natural cycles and a lot of passion. They are grown entirely according to biodynamic farming methods and harvested annually between April and September. After harvesting the coffee bean and the parchment will be separated from the coffee shells. This de-pulping process is performed in a mechanical manner. Subsequently, the coffee cherry shells are removed from the coffee beans and be dried on suspended drying beds for 25 to 30 days until the desired moisture content is achieved. Centuries ago, Yemenite coffee farmers discovered the coffee cherry shells as an infusion beverage containing complex fruit flavours and valuable nutrients. The result is Quishar, a kind of chai tea based on coffee cherry shells, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, milk and sugar. In Bolivia and Panama, Cáscara is prepared as a warming tea, sweetened with honey and flavoured with ginger. In Nicaragua, the locals especially like to drink Cáscara for breakfast. The amber-coloured beverage is also known as coffee tea. The rediscovery as a trendy drink is also beneficial for the coffee farmers as it generates a new source of revenue. Not all Cáscara tastes the same, just as not all coffee tastes the same. It always depends on the coffee variety and the growing region. They give the pulp its own flavour, so the shells of our Cáscara tea give off subtle sweet and tart flavours. Depending on your preference, pour about 12 teaspoons of the shells with a liter of boiling water and let it brew for at least 4 minutes. Unlike tea, the brewing time is not so crucial. The longer Cáscara brews, the more intense the flavour will be. The shells simply remain in the pot, where they then settle. Cáscara can be enjoyed either as a hot drink or by adding ice cubes or cold mixed drinks.

Discover our new Tea Bear flavors now! 🐻 Have you ever tried our Tea Bears? These little fruit gums are uniquely versatile, very popular with young and old and inspired by some of our favourite tea creations! To prepare a hot drink, stir one to two bears in a mug of hot water. And of course, all of these bears can also be simply nibbled. This summer, we have found four exciting new varieties that perfectly complement our Tea Bear range: Blood Orange, Cranberry Vanilla, Raspberry Woodruff and Coke. The blood orange and cranberry vanilla flavours are particularly fruity and refreshing. Raspberry Woodruff adds a touch of vintage nostalgia. An absolute classic has also been added to our large selection with the Coke flavour. Discover all of our fruity bears here: https://lnkd.in/dmSFFM7P ? Video by Norbert Schulz & Stefan Korff

Tea has been our core business since 1836 and we have constantly enlarged our dynamic team with both young and experienced colleagues.

Individual blends can be obtained starting from a minimum order of 5 kg.

We regularly travel to different plantations around the world. Today we would like to show you some impressions from our latest trip to #Thailand . Located between the Indian Ocean in the West and the Pacific in the East, Thailand borders on Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia in its North as well as Malaysia in the South. Tea cultivation takes place in the north of the country, at altitudes above 1,000 m. Since the 1980s, tea cultivation was pushed and financially accelerated by the popular King Bhumibo with the goal to turn the farmers and their families away from the cultivation of opium and help them build a secure future income. As a supporting measure, selected tea plants of first rate were imported from Taiwan in the 1990s and integrated in teagardens in even the most remote mountain villages. Thailand is still a young tea country, but it will surely soon make a lasting impression on the tea world map. You can find our selected teas from Thailand here, along with additional information about each plantation: https://lnkd.in/dyuH3T-w

November 2004 saw the birth of our in-house roastery with the roasting of green coffee into our prestigious roast coffee brand “Café Cult®”. We have been able to place both rarities from the countries of origin and trends on the market without neglecting our standard assortment, which by now counts over 100 selected coffee specialities. These are available in wholesale packaging as well as consumer packages. What’s more, we roast exclusive client blends as well as diverse coffee specialities for a wide number of our customers and we are happy to offer private labelling services on top. Finally, our coffee has revolutionised the specialised teashop concept and it is impossible to imagine both our business and that of many tea shops without this successful product segment.
