Is The Cascara Latte Good?

Yes, the cascara latte at Starbucks, which is made by adding their own cascara syrup, livens up a latte and provides a unique, different and satisfying taste that compliments the espresso shot exceptionally well. 

The cascara topping, which is often added to iced coffee and cold brew coffee, is particularly good when you request a pump of vanilla syrup.

Cascara is the outer skin of the coffee cherry. It is then dried either via a drier machine or is sun-dried. It is normally a waste product of coffee that would be thrown away or used as compost.

Cascara with coffee is something I like from time to time.

Coffee is love, it's more than love — it's a passion of mine. I've had the luck to have travelled and enjoyed the most exotic of coffee's and unique flavors, brewing methods and techniques of making the perfect coffee from Thai hill tribe coffee to Indonesian volcanic coffee, Malaysian coffee that comes in a tea bag and the array of flavors in Vietnam, from Vanilla to Orange to Coconut to Avocado to even salt coffee and the famous egg coffee. The best part of my coffee adventures is getting to mix with the locals over a nice brew and learning how they make it! I'm cited and referenced on Google Scholar for the topic of coffee.
