When we harvest the different varieties of coffee and remove the pulp, we separate it and sun dry it. This is called coffee cascara. The cascara makes a delicious tea and contains approximately 25% of the caffeine that coffee has. Our coffee plants are never sprayed with any type of chemical pesticide. Our cascara is clean and free from chemical sprays.
We make a delicious and healthy cascara herb blend. Our cascara herb blend is 85% cascara and 15% organically grown herbs.
COFFEE FOREST TEA is delicious hot and delicious and refreshing cold. Some testing on the coffee berry has determined that coffee berries are up to 10 times higher in antioxidant levels than the fruits that contain the most antioxidants.
According to testing done on the coffee berry, the high levels of antioxidants in the coffee berry (cascara) increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which may help decrease the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's.

Our bee colonies are located in three different climate zones of Loja province. Loja has many microclimates and is said to have the greatest variety of medicinal plants in Ecuador due to its diversity.
One of the areas where we have bee colonies is located in a dry tropical zone at an elevation of 300 meters above sea level along the border with Peru. The area is quite remote and across the river from the bees is Peru. The nearest dirt road on the Peruvian side of the river is a 7-hour walk away. The area remains wild and almost untouched. According to locals, the honey from this area is said to be medicinal.
We have bees at our Eldorado coffee farm and at the Eliza coffee farm, which are in the same climate zone and have similar elevation. The bees on these farms have wildflowers from the forest and coffee blossoms to feed on. We also have bees at La Noria farm which has an elevation of 2010 to 2500 meters. La Noria farm also has many wildflowers from the forest and coffee blossoms for the bees.
