Cafe de Huje

Cafe De Huje is a traditional herbal coffee alternative. Our Cafe de Huje is a caffeine free, healthy coffee option that is packed with nutrients. It is high in tryptophan, potassium, fiber, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamins A, B, C and E. Not only is it low in calories but it is rich in antioxidants and essential minerals. The medicinal properties, traditionally, include the berry, bark, leaves and roots. They are all used to treat various ailments such as dysentery, fever and headaches. 

Cafe de Huje will give you a natural energy boost without the jitters and none of the harsh acidity associated with coffee. The bold and complex layers of coffee and nutty flavor have additional notes of cinnamon and chocolate. The berry is roasted like a coffee bean and then the shells are removed and the “bean” is ground up to a powder. Best prepared when you boil 8 - 10 oz. of water and then add 2 tablespoons of the cafe de huje and enjoy. 

There are many different kinds of trees that produce over 30 different types of coffee beans, berries or nuts. While the huje berry does not have caffeine, the coffee flavor and natural energy may be just what you need for the afternoon. 

The Huje tree is a very unique tree known by many names depending on where the tree itself is grown and harvested. Some other names for the tree are Ramon, Mojo or Maya. It is a tree species belonging to the family Moraceae. The Mayan Superfood known as a Maya or Ramon nut, is similar to the Huje berry, but the Huje is specifically found in Michoacán and Guerrero, Mexico.
