What it is
This is a ready-to-drink coffee beverage made using a cold brewing process. Cold brewing involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. This method extracts different flavor compounds compared to hot brewing, often resulting in a smoother, less acidic taste. The beverage is pre-made and packaged for convenience, offering a straightforward way to enjoy coffee without brewing it yourself.
