Inauguration of the cascara tea factory in Son La
Cascara tea, also known as coffee tea, has become popular in cafes in European and American countries. The word “cascara” in Spanish means husk or skin. This drink is an herbal beverage made from the dried skins of coffee cherries.
Cascara tea has been used in South American countries for about 50 years and the United States has been selling it domestically for a long time. However, in Vietnam, cascara tea is still very new and Phuc Sinh is the first company to exploit cascara tea products on a large scale at Phuc Sinh Son La factory located in Mai Son district, Son La province.
Over the world in recent years, many countries have favoured Cascara Tea, in Europe they buy it at nearly double the price of Wash Arabica coffee. Cascara tea is a type of tea that can bring many benefits. It can help us maintain a reasonable weight, have good digestion, and have many antioxidants that help keep the user's skin smooth.
Vietnamese-branded cascara tea is produced with a production line that includes a food-standard fruit cleaning system, peeling, UV drying, multi-function freeze drying system that ensures cleanliness and retains flavour, and colours, and the automatic packaging system that can produce square filter bags and triangle filter bags. The design line capacity is 0.5 tons per production batch and employs 3 workers.
Chairman of Phuc Sinh Group Phan Minh Thong affirmed the value of the cascara tea brand.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of Vietnam's first factory producing cascara tea according to international standards to supply the domestic and export markets, the Chairman of Phuc Sinh Group Phan Minh Thong, shared: “We can see that almost 100% of coffee cherries are destroyed by composting or burning; we face a lot of pollution problems caused by coffee peels. However, with this cascara tea production line combined with the Wash Arabica processing process, we have a special type of tea that brings very high nutritional and economic value. We are very proud to contribute to such a circular ecosystem and green environment.
We have been processing cascara tea for the past few years, but today we officially built a factory and produced a much larger output. We export up to 99% of our output to countries that use cascara tea in the world such as Italy, France, and other European countries".
