Fantastically sweet and refreshing cascara from Honduras, produced by Hidardo Hernandez, who, unlike most, treats the cascara as a valuable product – and you can taste it.

Cascara can help create extra value and less waste in coffee production for coffee farmers, and we would like to support that.

Direct Trade – No Middleman

We know our coffee farmers personally because we trade directly with them. This gives us a highly transparent value chain without unnecessary intermediaries.

It provides you with added assurance and brings you closer to the farm.

Direct trade means, among other things:

More transparency
More traceability
Better payment to the coffee farmer

The vast majority of our coffee is purchased directly from the farmers. In 2024, 98% of our coffee was sourced through direct trade.

By cutting out the middleman, we know exactly where the money goes, ensuring that as much as possible ends up with the farmer — who has been underpaid for more than 40 years.

Direct trade allows us to better ensure quality and accountability at the source. At the same time, farmers gain access to valuable insights about the European market, new EU regulations, and more, through our partnership.

With direct trade, we achieve a much higher degree of transparency and traceability — something that’s crucial when it comes to documenting farming methods, working conditions, and whether a particular coffee has contributed to deforestation.

This coffee is certified organic.

...so it is grown in a way that is particularly gentle on nature and people.

What does that mean?

No synthetic pesticides
No artificial fertilizer
No genetically modified organisms (GMO)

The coffee is certified locally where it is produced and subsequently certified here by the Danish Food Agency as DK-ØKO-100.

Organic is not without costs for coffee farmers, who already have very poor conditions. Read here about the dilemma of organic certification.

Our Organic Certification

We are very excited to announce something new at CleverCoffee – a new Cascara, this time from our good friends in Honduras!

Cascara is one of the residual products from coffee production. As you may know, the coffee berry looks like a cherry with husk, pulp and a core.

Cascara is simply the husk of the coffee berry which has been dried – in Spanish Cascara literally means shell or rind.

Coffee farmers are largely underpaid, but cascara can be a way for farmers to add more value to their production with minimal extra effort. Depending on the processing of the coffee, cascara will either be ready immediately after peeling or will need to be dried before.

Since cascara was only recently made legal to import into Europe, we are still learning how to use it as an ingredient. Most people use it to make tea; in Yemen it is used to make the tea known as Qishr. Cascara is mixed with water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and other spices to create a delicious, aromatic brew.

We have seen people use it to make syrup or even as an ingredient in cooking. So use your imagination! We hope you find ways to use cascara to create something new and interesting.

This cascara comes from the Cascaritas farm in Honduras. It is the by-product of their coffee, which means it has a sweet and refreshing flavour profile. When we brew this as a tea, we experience a balanced sweetness and acidity with notes of rose hip, hibiscus and lemonade.
