Nescafe creates energy drink with upcycled coffee husks

As part of a global push towards expanding its climate-friendly and plant-based portfolio, Nescafe has launched Native Cascara, a new line of beverages made from upcycled coffee berry husks.

This new drink, which is neither coffee nor tea, is made from coffee husks usually discarded after harvesting coffee. The upcycling process not only reduces waste but also provides farmers with a new source of revenue.

Once brewed, the base is infused with natural Australian botanicals that result in a lightly sparkling caffeinated beverage available in three flavours: Classic, Kakadu Plum and Lemon Myrtle & Pepperberry – packaged in recyclable materials with a paper label.
