“Cascara, meaning husk, peel or skin in Spanish – the dried skins of coffee cherries.  Brew it just like you brew your tea!  This cascara tastes like jujube fruits, honey and dried fruits.“

Under-appreciated albums.

Inspiration

Two of my favourite, but totally under-appreciated, albums of all time are:

  1. You’d Prefer an Astronaut (by Hum).
  2. Memories of the Soul Shack Survivors (by Bass is Base).

You’ve probably never heard of either of them. Completely different from each other, but both exceptionally good.

The latter was a local (Toronto) band that could only have emerged from a successfully multicultural place like this city.

The first band was from the USA, and was/is just awesome.
