Classic Cold Brew Coffee:
The cold brewing style of coffee comes once from the innovators in Japan around the 1600’s, and was called “Kyoto-Style” for its popularity in the city of Kyoto, Japan. Originally produced in drip tower setups, today is is produced by soaking grounds to create coffee that is less acidic than hot drinks.
Recommended grind: Coarse
- Add 4 oz of coffee grounds to a 1 quart container.
- Soak the grounds with 3 1/2 cups of cold water for approximately 18-24 hours at room temperature.
- Strain the finished brew through a filter.
- This creates a concentrate, we recommend serving 1 part concentrate to 2-3 parts water.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
We sell a fresh roasted Passport Cold Brew Blend specifically made for this process HERE.
When hot coffee cools it becomes bitter and sharp. The acidic taste is greatly increased and can be overpowering. Cold brew coffee is never heated so it remains smooth and allows for other types of drinks such as Nitro.

Cold Brew Teas….
When making iced tea try a cold brew method. Cold brewing tea is similar to cold brew coffee in that you steep the loose leaves in cold water over an extended period of time. This creates a more mild drink with less tannin bitterness. Steep time is much less strict making it the perfect drink for those who don’t have the time or patience to watch the clock.
