01 · CASCARA LEMON

Cascara, lemon and Swiss water: a refreshing discovery.

A simple meeting: cascara infusion, Swiss water, Italian lemon juice and agave syrup. Our Cascara Lemon brings the Ethiopian discovery into a refreshing bottle, served cold or used as an ingredient in a mixed drink.

From Switzerland to the world, we want to give this energy a new form: natural ingredients, curiosity and a drink that brings people and cultures together.

30–45 mg of caffeine per bottle or DIANAE-specified serving, according to the founder.

A laboratory report is available; the value does not automatically apply to every infusion or coffee blend: quantity and preparation matter.

A new form. Still to come.

The new can is a concept and is not available. The renderings imagine a new chapter for DIANAE; ingredients, doses and statements on the artwork are fictional and untested, not a confirmed recipe.

The 80 mg and curves on the rendering do not describe the DIANAE bottle: the stated bottle or serving figure is 30–45 mg. The concept does not substantiate the claims printed on the packaging.

02 · Ground cascara

Once upon a time, there was coffee.

Then we looked beyond the bean, towards the fruit around it. Ground cascara comes from the sun-dried skin and pulp of Coffea arabica: Ethiopian raw material, ground at low temperature in Switzerland.

Cascara Espresso is our small act of rebellion: a transparent, reddish-brown drink with its own character. You can also combine ground cascara and ground coffee in a portafilter or with other methods, exploring new balances of flavour.

Change the method. Discover another character.

  • Filter and Chemex to explore aromas and clarity.
  • French press for an infusion adjusted to your taste.
  • Moka for a familiar ritual with a different ingredient.
  • Portafilter for Cascara Espresso or coffee blends.

Follow the pack and equipment instructions rather than guessing how much to use or how tightly to pack it: grind and dose change extraction. There is no universal recipe here, and coffee blends have a different caffeine content.

03 · Loose cascara

The dried fruit, time for an infusion.

The skin and pulp of the coffee fruit, sun-dried: loose cascara is prepared as an infusion. Start with a teapot, filter, tea infuser or French press, following the quantities and steeping times on the pack.

Mo is fruity, sweet and slightly bitter, with notes of strong black tea and a hint of coffee.

J is herbal and fruity, reminiscent of mate, with a sweeter note and a hint of coffee.

See the results of the 136-person tasting. Historical tasting results; separate from new online poll votes.

95% do not know what cascara is, while 74% of respondents like the product: this suggests that limited awareness, more than taste, could be the main barrier to adoption.
