Our Signature Recipe for chilled & smooth Iced Cold Brew using our Specialty Coffee Beans.
Cold brew coffee has become a favorite among coffee enthusiasts for its smooth, low-acidity flavor profile and refreshing qualities, making it a perfect beverage for hot summer days or any time you crave a chilled coffee experience.
To take your cold brew to the next level, using single-origin specialty coffee beans can elevate the taste and complexity of your drink.
In this blog post, we'll explore the steps to create a delicious & our signature cold brew using the finest single-origin beans from our estate, allowing you to savor the unique flavors.
Step 1: Selecting the Right Beans:
The foundation of an exceptional cold brew lies in the coffee beans you choose.
Single-origin specialty coffee beans are sourced from a specific region, allowing you to explore the distinctive flavors characteristic of that area. Opt for beans that align with your flavor preferences, whether it's fruity, floral, chocolaty, nutty, or any other unique notes that the beans may offer. Here, we have used our Signature Cold Brew Beans.
Step 2: Grinding the Beans:
To ensure a consistent and effective extraction, grind the coffee beans to a coarse consistency, similar to sea salt. Avoid grinding the beans too fine, as this can lead to over-extraction and bitterness in your cold brew. Invest in a quality burr grinder to achieve the desired coarse grind.

Step 3: Measuring the Coffee and Water:
For a balanced cold brew, a good starting point is a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:4. Measure out the desired amount of ground coffee and water using a digital scale.
For example, if you have 100 grams of coffee, use 400 grams of cold, filtered water.
Step 4: Brewing Time and Steeping:
Combine the ground coffee and water in a large container or jar. Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are evenly saturated. Seal the container and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 72 to 80 hours. Longer steeping times can lead to a stronger, more concentrated cold brew, but avoid steeping for too long, as it may result in bitterness.
Step 5: Filtration and Straining:
After the steeping period, it's time to separate the coffee grounds from the cold brew concentrate. Use a fine mesh strainer or a purpose-built cold brew filter bag to strain the mixture. For a cleaner brew, you can also filter the cold brew through a coffee paper filter.
Step 6: Dilution and Serving:
The cold brew concentrate you've obtained is potent and concentrated, so it's best to dilute it before serving. Mix equal parts cold brew concentrate and cold, filtered water, or adjust to your preferred strength. Serve the cold brew over ice and enjoy the delightful flavors of your single-origin specialty coffee beans.
Step 7: Experiment and Savor:
One of the joys of cold brew is its versatility. Feel free to experiment with various brewing times, coffee-to-water ratios, and even different single-origin beans. Each tweak will bring out unique characteristics, allowing you to appreciate the diversity and complexities of coffee from different regions.
Crafting cold brew with single-origin specialty coffee beans is a gratifying experience that allows you to explore the world of coffee in a whole new light.
The process may require patience, but the reward is a smooth, flavorful, and refreshing cold brew that highlights the distinct qualities of the coffee beans you carefully selected. Embrace the art of experimentation, and let your taste buds guide you through the wonders of cold brew made from the finest single-origin coffee beans. Cheers to discovering the world of cold brew coffee, one region at a time!
