Heatwave Cold Brew Blend

Year-Round Cold Brew Blend Tastes: Sweet, smooth, and crisp Brew cold. Drink colder. Heatwave is our year-round cold brew blend, built for the kind of coffee we want when it’s hot outside, which in Florida is basically always. We created this blend to be smooth, sweet, crisp, and wildly refreshing. Not heavy. Not smoky.  Instead, Heatwave is made with coffees that bring real character to the cup. We roast and blend it specifically for cold brew, with a focus on sweetness, balance, and clarity. The final result is clean, refreshing, and easy to drink, while still tasting like something we’re proud to put our name on. We spent months testing this blend and dialing in the profile at the cafe. Every detail matters here: the coffee, the roast, the grind, the water, the filter, the brew time, and the final dilution. The goal was simple: make cold brew that feels familiar, but better. ⸻ Currently in Heatwave 80% Peru Tomás Bueno Washed 20% Rwanda Gasharu Washed This current version of Heatwave is built around a sweet and structured washed Peruvian coffee from Tomás Bueno, blended with a washed Rwandan coffee from Gasharu for brightness, fruit, and clarity. The Peruvian coffee gives the blend its foundation: sweetness, body, and a smooth finish. The Rwandan coffee adds lift, making the final cup feel more crisp and refreshing. The exact coffees in Heatwave may change throughout the year, but the goal stays the same: a clean, sweet, refreshing cold brew blend that’s built with coffees we’re genuinely excited about. ⸻ How We Brew It The biggest thing for us is clarity. We recommend brewing Heatwave with a thick paper cold brew filter, not a metal mesh or reusable mesh filter. Mesh filters can make tasty cold brew, but they tend to let more oils and fine particles pass through. That can make the cup feel heavier and cloudier. For the cleanest version of this coffee, we recommend: Best option: Alto cold brew filters Also great: Toddy paper filters The goal is simple: sweet, smooth, crisp cold brew with a clean finish. ⸻ How to Make Heatwave Cold Brew The ratio is simple: 1 oz coffee = about 8 oz finished cold brew Because coffee grounds hold onto water during brewing, you’ll brew with less water first, drain the coffee fully, then dilute the concentrate up to the final volume. For the cleanest cup, we recommend using a thick paper cold brew filter. Mesh filters can make tasty cold brew, but they tend to let more oils and fine particles pass through. That can make the cup feel heavier, cloudier, and sometimes a little greasy.
