Peruvian Organic Cold Brew
Peruvian organic cold brew is a refreshing coffee experience made from 100% organic Arabica beans grown high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, a country known as one of the world’s top organic coffee producers. Peru’s rich, high-altitude soils and diverse climates help develop beans with naturally complex, balanced flavor profiles, often featuring smooth caramel sweetness with bright citrus or cherry notes. Cold brewing itself is a method where coarsely ground beans steep in cool water for 12–24 hours, producing a smooth, rich concentrate that’s ideal over ice or mixed with milk. The brew wasn’t as concentrated or bold as hoped, resulting in a milder body and less punch than a typical strong cold brew. It’s a good option for someone who prefers a gentler, more refreshing coffee, though those looking for a richer, more intense cold brew profile may find it a bit understated.
