This is actually the first cold brew blend that I've ever purchased. Normally I just use whatever I like at the moment over ice and occasionally as an actual cold brew. I wanted to try a blend created specifically for brewing and drinking cold.
Just because it wasn't crafted for flash brew doesn't' mean I didn't try. 250gr ice, 30gr coffee, 250gr water. Was ok. A little more acid that I would prefer.
Then I tried an actual cold brew. You know - where you let it sit in the water for a long time and heat does not disturb its zen? It was like night and day. Even though I had to wait, and I hate waiting - the result was worth it.
It was sweet, maybe a little nutty, definitely a little cocoa. I don't normally add sugar or milk to my coffee and this was a pleasure on it's own without those. I did try it with milk and I liked that too.
The next time I made it I did two mason jars worth because my husband discovered he liked it and drank it all. I'm now on my second batch of two mason jars and I suspect he will guzzle that down too.
My only complaint was that the beans came ground. Not sure if that was an accident in my ordering or if that's just how they ship that blend. It's been a long time since I had coffee come to me preground, but no big deal. Just means I'll have to use it fast. Given how fast my husband is going through it - that won't be a problem.
