TropicalBerry: The Superfood
Bursting with Antioxidants
TropicalBerry burst onto the scene as the next exciting superfood in 2023 after extensive research and regulatory approvals.
Also known as coffee fruit or cascara, TropicalBerry is a deliciously sweet superfood harvested in the pristine highlands, high-altitudes and volcanic-rich soils of Southwestern Honduras.
TropicalBerry boasts an extraordinary concentration of antioxidants, surpassing the ORAC values of turmeric, acai berry, elderberry, and blueberry - combined.
TropicalBerry is a nutritional powerhouse that supports wellness, energy, and mental clarity without the caffeine crash.
What is TropicalBerry?
TropicalBerry is the dried skin and pulp of the coffee cherry (the fruit surrounding a coffee bean). The berry’s husk or pulp was often discarded - until it was discovered to contain unique properties different from the coffee bean.
After a coffee cherry is harvested, the bean (seed) is removed via processing. The remaining outer fruit (husk/pulp) is dried to become TropicalBerry.
Flavor Profile | What Does TropicalBerry Taste Like?
The flavor profile is quite different from brewed coffee beans.
Unlike coffee, TropicalBerry has a sweet, fruity taste with hints of red currant, cherry, and mango.
How Much Caffeine Does TropicalBerry Contain?
TropicalBerry contains about 25% of the caffeine found within a standard cup of coffee. TropicalBerry is the ideal beverage for those sensitive to caffeine.
