Yemeni Qishr Coffee – Traditional Cascara Drink with Cardamom and Ginger
Discover the authentic taste of Yemeni Qishr coffee, a traditional Arabic coffee drink made from coffee husk (cascara), blended with cardamom and ginger for a smooth, aromatic flavor. Loved in Yemen for generations, Qishr is a lighter, naturally sweet, spiced coffee alternative that’s perfect for daily sipping.
Unlike regular coffee made from roasted beans, Qishr is made from cascara (the dried outer fruit of the coffee cherry), creating a warm, comforting drink with a unique aroma and gentle energy.
