Cold Brew Coffee
Our cold brew is filled with natural sweetness and roasted medium, so it is perfect for cold brewing and nitro cold brew.
We recommend the course grind or whole bean to ensure the cold brew is not muddy.
Our Cold brew begins with the perfect bean that is semi-rare from Guatemala that is processed uniquely. The process is called the honey process. The red cherries are left on the coffee bean as they dry. The cherries are then removed. This process is more time-consuming but well worth it. This allows the cherries to infuse their sweet taste into the coffee bean before roasting.

Farm profile: Finca Medina has been producing coffee since 1842 and today farms about 1000 bags of coffee per year. We visited the farm some years ago and were impressed by a farm wide irrigation system they had installed to remove some of the detrimental variations of weather and, in particular, the off years that are caused by lack of rainfall. The farm ownership has a social and environmental consciousness, among other things providing for their community through school scholarships and materials for children of farm employees as well as donations to a local orphanage which offers care to disabled children.
This plantation is a member of the Rainforest Alliance that awards its seal for thoughtful land use and sustainability. 10% of the farm is dedicated forest, regenerated with native species. An intensive environmental program is being conducted throughout the rest of the farm to identify additional opportunities for environmental care of the land. The farm is fully irrigated. They are a member of APCA, the organization certifying Antigua farm authenticity.
