Our Story

Started in a kitchen, scaled without shortcuts.

We began in 2016 with a single five-gallon batch steeped overnight in a home fridge, frustrated by the bitter, watery cold brew sold everywhere else. The problem was never the coffee — it was the rush.

So we slowed everything down. We partnered directly with two cooperatives in Colombia and Ethiopia, paying above Fair Trade and visiting the farms each harvest. Every lot is cupped, profiled, and roasted to a recipe built specifically for cold extraction.

Today we ship thousands of batches a month, but the method hasn't changed: real beans, coarse grind, 18 hours of patience, and zero additives, syrups, or flavor masking. The result is a cup that tastes like the bean it came from.

Why detail-minded drinkers switch and stay

Every choice we make is built to survive scrutiny. Here's exactly what makes the cup better.

1

67% lower acidity

Cold extraction skips the heat that releases bitter compounds, measured against hot-brewed equivalents in independent lab testing.

2

Single-origin transparency

Every bag and bottle lists the farm, region, altitude, varietal, and harvest date. No proprietary blends hiding mystery beans.

3

Nothing added, ever

Coffee and filtered water. No preservatives, no sugar, no "natural flavors." Refrigerated and shipped cold within 7 days of roast.

4

Recyclable packaging

Glass bottles, aluminum cans, and compostable concentrate pouches. We offset shipping emissions on every order.

5

Concentrate or ready-to-drink

Dilute to your exact strength, or grab a bottle for the road. Same beans, two formats, no compromise.

6

Subscription on your terms

Pause, skip, or swap origins any time. No lock-in, no fees, and you save 15% on every recurring shipment.

"I'm picky to a fault and I checked the lab numbers myself. The low-acidity claim holds up — no afternoon stomach burn for the first time in years."

"The concentrate ratio is exactly as advertised. One 32oz bottle genuinely gives me twelve solid cups. The cocoa note is real, not marketing."

"Best cold brew I've found and I've tried a dozen. Dropped a star only because I'd love a darker roast option. Customer service replied in an hour."

Detailed questions, detailed answers

Everything we get asked, with nothing glossed over.

How long does the concentrate last?

Sealed and refrigerated, the concentrate stays fresh for 21 days from the ship date printed on every bottle. Once opened, we recommend finishing it within 14 days for peak flavor. It does not require any preservatives because it's kept cold throughout the supply chain.

What's the exact caffeine content?

Prepared at our standard 1:3 dilution, an 8oz cup contains approximately 140mg of caffeine — comparable to a strong drip coffee. Drinking the concentrate undiluted roughly triples that, so we recommend measuring if you're sensitive.

Where do the beans actually come from?

Our flagship blend uses washed Caturra and Castillo from a cooperative in Huila, Colombia, and natural-process heirloom beans from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Each bag and bottle prints the farm, altitude, varietal, and harvest date. We visit both origins every harvest season.

How does the subscription work?

Choose a delivery frequency (every 2, 4, or 6 weeks), and you'll save 15% on every order. You can pause, skip a shipment, swap origins, or cancel entirely from your account dashboard at any time. There are no fees and no minimum commitment.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes. Bottles are amber glass (widely recyclable), ready-to-drink cans are aluminum, and our larger concentrate pouches are home-compostable. Shipping cartons are made from recycled cardboard and we purchase carbon offsets for every delivery.

What's your return policy?

If you're not satisfied with your first order for any reason, contact us within 30 days for a full refund — no need to return the product. For subscription orders, the same first-order guarantee applies, and we'll always help troubleshoot before any charge.

Taste the difference patience makes.
