Vietnam’s LOF International Dairy has recently launched cascara tea offering consumers with a sophisticated blend of multiple layers of flavour including a hint of a light coffee aroma and a naturally sweet, delicate tea flavour. The drink contains concentrated cascara extract at 2,500mg/L.
On the packaging, the company labels the flavour as “Unique Flavour 1” to spark curiosity among consumers and to acknowledge that cascara’s taste is elusive and hard to define.
Cascara tea, a unique, fruity infusion made from the dried skins of coffee cherries, is increasingly receiving the attention it should be getting in Vietnam. Once simply discarded during coffee processing, cascara is now being transformed into a delightful beverage, adding significant value to the coffee supply chain in a country that stands as the world’s second-largest coffee producer after Brazil.
The bottle highlights cascara as a potent source of phenolic compounds, boasting exceptionally high concentrations. Its antioxidant activity is claimed to be remarkably powerful, often several times greater than that found in tea and fruits.
The tagline, “From green tea and coffee cherry husks, powerful antioxidants,” not only underscores the health benefits of LOF Cascara Tea but also inspires a lifestyle dedicated to slowing down, living with intention and embracing style.
