Cold Brew Blend

Dark chocolate, red fruit, and a smooth, heavy body. The three-coffee blend Brioso built for its own cold brew and nitro: a Costa Rica honey for sweetness, an Ethiopia natural for fruit, and a darker roasted Central American washed coffee for weight.

Cold brewing hides acidity and flattens delicate notes, so this blend leans chocolatey and a little malty on purpose. It works as hot drip too, but it was designed to be steeped cold and that is where it is best. The components shift with the harvest, so the exact cup changes a bit through the year.

Start around 1:8 coffee to water by weight with a coarse grind, steep 12 to 16 hours in the fridge, then dilute to taste over ice. The roaster's recommendation is a splash of whole milk.
