For the bold palate only: Cerassie — the famously bitter Caribbean leaf that grandmothers swore by and you'll learn to love.
WHAT IS IT
A 100% natural, caffeine-free infusion of naturally dried cerassie leaves — known across the Caribbean as Cerassie or Corilla, and as Bitter Melon or Karela elsewhere. Caribbean-inspired, rooted in deep herbal tradition, and made from premium ingredients grown by small farmers and communities. No artificial additives or flavourings. One of the most traditional cups we make.
MOMENTS (when you'll reach for it)
- Your no-nonsense daily ritual, the way it's done back home
- The bold, bitter cup for drinkers who like it strong and characterful
- A grounding moment when only the real, traditional thing will do
- The brew that connects you to generations of Caribbean kitchens
TASTE
Make no mistake — this is properly, gloriously bitter. Deep, earthy and intense, with none of the edges sanded off. An acquired taste that devoted drinkers come to crave.
HOW TO BREW
1) Drop one bag in your favourite mug.
2) Pour just-boiled water, steep 2-3 mins (longer for the brave).
3) Lift the bag and sip — honey or sugar takes the edge off beautifully.
Auntie's Tip: First time? Start with honey and a shorter steep, then work your way up to the full bitter. That's how we all started.
THE DALGETY DIFFERENCE
We dry whole cerassie leaves with a delicate, unique technique that keeps the strength and authentic bitter character intact — the real thing, not a watered-down version.
