Medium Roast Cold Brew Coffee Beans
What it is
This is a medium roast coffee blend specifically formulated for cold brewing. It comes as whole beans, allowing you to grind them fresh for optimal flavor. The medium roast profile aims to balance the inherent acidity of coffee with a smooth, rich taste that is characteristic of cold brew. This blend is designed to yield a less bitter and more naturally sweet beverage when prepared using the cold extraction method.

This coffee is ideal for making a smooth, concentrated coffee base at home. It is perfect for iced coffee drinks or for adding a coffee flavor to various recipes.

- Smooth coffee drinks
- Coffee-flavored desserts
- Morning pick-me-up
To prepare cold brew, combine coarsely ground coffee beans with cold water in a large container. A common ratio is one part coffee to four parts water, but this can be adjusted to your preference. Let the mixture steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Afterward, strain the coffee concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or a dedicated cold brew maker. Dilute the concentrate with water or milk to your desired strength, and serve over ice.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hot brewed coffee, cold brew made from this blend typically results in a significantly smoother, less acidic, and naturally sweeter cup. The cold water extraction process pulls out different flavor compounds, reducing the bitterness often associated with high-temperature brewing. This blend's medium roast further enhances these smooth qualities.
Who it is for
Home baristas and coffee enthusiasts who enjoy crafting their own iced coffee beverages will appreciate this blend.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened bag of whole beans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer the remaining beans to an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation. For the best flavor, use within a few weeks of opening.
