This coffee is intentionally sourced and roasted to craft the perfect cold brew coffee. Lower in acidity and high in sugar browning, this coffee reacts well with fats in dairy or tastes smooth and sweet on its own. We look for coffees that will take a large amount of heat during the caramelization process and extend the roast times to increase the body and remove acidity. Designed for cold extraction only, expect notes of Cocoa, Dates and a thicken creamy texture.

As sounds of concern rend the air in our roastery each holiday season, we know Krampus has made his annual appearance. Krampus set out to burn our most prized peaberries to scare us into being good, but the joke is on him, because we’re already on our best behavior, and what he scorched and left behind is actually delicious. This peaberry selection hails from the Rungeto Factory in Kenya’s Kii cooperative. Sourced from peak outturns, it allows us to offer this seasonal single-origin, rich with deep chocolate and burned citrus notes.
