Why the Right Beans Make All the Difference
Iced coffee is more than chilled java; it’s an art form. The process of cold brewing extracts different flavor compounds than hot brewing, resulting in a smoother, less acidic coffee. But without the right beans, the results can fall flat, leaving your iced coffee watery or bitter.
That's where Specialty Class 1 Arabica coffee shines. This designation refers to the highest-quality beans on the market, grown in ideal conditions and meticulously processed to enhance their flavor profile. Our coffee beans are hand-selected for their exceptional taste, ensuring that every sip of your cold brew is smooth, refreshing, and full-bodied.
