This blend of Latin American coffees was put together specifically to taste delicious as cold brew. That means sweet flavors like caramel and walnut.

Light-Medium roast

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy caramelized sugars and a smooth cup.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    COLD BREW to use

    This is great coffee for cold brew which I have purchased twice and have no complaints, it is a lot cheaper to make your own then buying a store cold brew and the fresh coffee just can't be beat!!

    I will be trying something different next time just because you have so many to choose from.

    Thanks again for the great beans!!!

    I enjoyed it!

    Sweet with a little bit of acidity. I didn’t mind that at all. Give it a try!
