The pink panther!
One of our signature low-caf drink at Le Mil’s coffee. It’s made with Cascara, Indian mangosteen (kokam), Hibiscus in tonic base. Covered with a blanket of Coconut cream cold foam and a dash of butterfly pea powder. It’s sweet, tart, creamy and refreshing 😋
We decided to make this drink because of cascara. What is cascara? It’s dried skin of the coffee fruit. It’s sweet, tangy, has more antioxidants than the bean and only 20mg caffeine per cup!
In washed processed coffee, the skin is considered waste and is often thrown away or used as manure. We always knew the day we have a cafe we are going to change that and recognize cascara for what it is. A superfood.
Cascara is not only delicious but also a healthy drink. If farmers sell cascara, they can process the beans without water, just like they did back in the day. That will conserve water, farmers will fetch better price for their natural beans, they can sell cascara for added income and people get a whole new drink to enjoy. It’s such a win for everyone!
Cascara makes us happy :)
