Coffee Fruit Tea - Cascara - superfood with antioxidants - 1lb - WHOLE DRIED COFFEE FRUIT for cold or hot brew - by Twin Engine Coffee

Perhaps like me, you will be fascinated to learn that what we drink, coffee, is the inside of the coffee fruit! The fruit part is separated from the seed and almost universally discarded. When with fruit do we save the pit and throw away the fruit? This attracted my attention and I have enjoyed making sun tea with the coffee fruit. The taste is not quite tea, but not like coffee either. It is different in a good way. I recommend trying this. One sunny day outside, the inside the glass container in your fridge to chill. Sweeten with honey, consider with ice cubes and sometimes with real cow milk based cream. Sometimes just cold plain after a day of yard work, sippin in the shade! 😎 Delightful and refreshing!

Before I continue, I want to clearly state: it does help improve my memory. I drink it first most for my memory and then for the taste. I am 74 years old. The reviewer who brews it by the Qt, drinks the first cup hot, and puts the rest in the refrigerator has the right idea. I had already given this product a five-star rating. I have experimented with ways to brew it. I like coffee and tea both hot and cold. I never use ice; I cool it in the refrigerator. I use an electric percolator. It has always been the only way I make coffee. And it can be used to make good tea. The most important thing I had to adjust to was Not to make this product too strong. I finally realized that if I fill this coffee fruit up to the level markings in the percolator basket, it will make a perfect cup of this tea. The finished product does have a slightly better/sweet tea flavoring. This can be adjusted as well. Simply put a few pieces of dried fruit in the bottom of the coffee pot and the boiling water will take on the taste of the fruit. It can be perfectly blended with the tea to suit you. I like to use four dried prunes.

Essentially, this product makes tea either hot or cold. I was using a very expensive semi available extract that tastes like concentrated coffee. This is different. The product makes a sweeter light coffee flavor. It's easy to drink and I'm hoping for the added benefit of brain health and clarity. You cannot chew these shells, only make the tea then toss them. Bag lasts a month.

When I used to live near coffee plantations, I got a taste for the coffee fruit. This was the closest thing I could find to have long distance. It is not the same for sure, but quite a delightful flavor. I drank it mostly when needing an evening pick-me-up, and felt like it gave me what I needed without causing me troubles falling asleep. I didnt take it regularly enough to feel any health benefits, but I know all of the benefits of the fruit and imagine much of that carries over to making a tea with it. It suggests various brew times for different depths of flavor. I found 10 minutes to be the best for my pallet. After brewing, the fruits are soft again and I enjoyed eating a few. Had some flavor, but not delicious. I may start freezing them after making the tea and adding the fruits to snoothies. I wasn't sure what to think of it going in as all reviews I saw were on the extreme ends. Both friends that I had try it said they could take it or leave it. So everyone doesnt have strong feelings!

My fault I didn't realize it works as a laxative lol. It tasted different a taste one has to aquire to. For those that are a little stuffed up this is perfect for you. It's worth the $. I gave it to a friend that has issues like that .

I love the taste of this coffee fruit tea. I have a cup every morning. Sometimes I make a quart of it and still drink a cup every morning for many days. It keeps fine in the fridge after I pour hot tea-kettle water over a bunch of the pieces of coffee fruit and dilute it with enough water to make the quart. I drink the hot cup on the first morning and drink cold cups from the quart container that was sitting in the fridge on the next few days. It really is a wonderful experience. I look forward to it every morning. Oh, and I still drink my morning coffee after the coffee fruit tea. I originally bought the smaller bag of the product, and liked it so much that I just went ahead and bought this 1 lb. bag. Thank you very much for this product!

Product is wonderful, but Amazon is not. Product never arrived and Amazon customer service is totally negligent.

I gave up coffee because I don't like relying on any substance for energy. I saw this and thought I'd give it a try. No, it doesn't taste anything like coffee, but it is very versatile in that you can add a little stevia, almond milk, your usual creamer, or nothing at all. This is loaded with anti-oxidants and I feel really good about drinking it. There is no caffeine in it. You can buy this in either the $10 size just to try it out and if you like it, move up to the pound for $20.
