Cold Brew Coffee – Smooth, Low-Acidity Refreshment
Good quality coffee beans is key to making the perfect cold brew. As cold brew is made by steeping coffee in cold water for an extended period, resulting in a smooth, less acidic, and naturally sweet coffee. We recommend Bali Kintamani Coffee as its natural flavor profile features low acidity, a smooth body, and sweet chocolate or citrus notes that shine during long, cold extraction
