Rubi Red is a Sydney Northern Beaches drinks brand that has embraced the rich flavours of Cascara as it offers a uniquely delightful and sustainable alternative to traditional beverages. With its vibrant taste profile and health benefits, this innovative drink invites those seeking a new experience to enjoy the essence of coffee in a completely different form.
What is cascara?
Cascara (which means 'husk' in Spanish) is a tea made from the dried skins of coffee berries. When coffee is harvested for their beans to make coffee, the coffee berry skins are discarded. But you can make a tea that is refreshing to drink as the fruity cherry flavours are pleasant, high in antioxidants and contains caffeine naturally. This is Cascara.
The health benefits of Cascara
Cascara is a superfood due to its rich antioxidant content and health benefits.
Contains natural caffeine similar to tea, providing an gentle energy boost.
Supports liver health, potentially helping in detoxification processes.
Cascara is a bi-product of the coffee bean industry that would otherwise go to waste.
A good source of dietary fibre, which can improve your overall gut health.
Low in calories, making it an excellent choice for those mindful of their intake.
How Rubi Red is made
Rubi Red is made using real Cascara, with no artificial colouring or flavour additives. The Cascara is steeped in large brewing vats, allowing us to extract all the natural goodness and flavours from the cascara. For our Spiced Cascara, we use real Cinnamon, allowing you to experience the rich and full flavours that only real Cinnamon can give.
We use Erythritol which is a natural sweetener that is extracted from various fermented foods. Its low calorie content, minimal impact on blood sugar, and dental-friendly properties make it an attractive choice for those seeking to reduce their sugar intake while still enjoying the sweet flavours.
We also use Monk fruit extract which is derived from the monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii) which is a natural product. There are many health benefits using Monk Fruit Extract as a sweetener, this includes: It’s rich in antioxidants, has a low glycemic index and research suggests that it may possess anti-inflammatory properties. Monk fruit extract does not contribute to tooth decay and it contains zero calories.
