They're designed for hot extraction — the heat does the work of pulling flavor from the bean. Cold brew is different: it extracts slowly, selectively, and without heat, which means the blend needs to be built specifically for the method. Our Cold Brew blend was designed from the ground up for cold extraction — and it shows in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Dedicated Cold Brew Blend?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold brew extracts differently than hot coffee. Without heat, certain flavor compounds — particularly acids and bitter compounds — are left behind. What comes through is sweetness, body, and the deeper, more chocolatey notes that cold extraction favors. A blend designed for cold brew emphasizes those qualities: low acidity, heavy body, and flavor notes that deepen and improve during the long steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Cold Brew blend is built around those requirements. We combine medium-roasted origins with natural sweetness, good body, and flavor notes — chocolate, toffee, and floral — that translate beautifully to cold extraction.

Whiskey Barrel Aged takes specialty-grade Guatemalan Arabica, rests it for 30 days inside retired American oak bourbon barrels, then roasts it to a medium-dark finish that deepens every note the barrel left behind.

Roasted fresh in Temecula, California — in most cases the same day it ships. The Whiskey Barrel Aged coffee is what happens when you stop serving them side by side and start letting them become one. We start with high-quality green Arabica beans and rest them inside retired American oak whiskey barrels — the same barrels that spent years holding bourbon, their wood saturated with the vanilla, caramel, and oak character that defines great American whiskey. Over 30 days, the green beans slowly absorb those flavors, drawing the essence of the barrel deep into the bean before a single degree of heat is applied. Then we roast. The medium-dark roast develops the natural sweetness of the bean while amplifying the barrel character — the vanilla deepens, the caramel rounds out, and a warm whiskey-like warmth settles into the finish.
