ABOUT LINEAR COLD BREW BLEND

We use this rich, sweet coffee to make our in-house cold brew. While it’s great over ice, Linear Cold Brew Blend also delivers smooth sweetness when brewed hot. The straight-ahead character of Linear makes it a great stand-by.

We received many requests over the past few years for the “best coffee for making cold brew.” While we used Tektōn for years and felt it did a fantastic job, it’s hard to ignore the requests for something obviously marketed for cold brewing. Plus, we gained the ability to really profile Linear for cold brew and Tektōn for hot, filter brewing. Where we typically want slightly more acidity in Tektōn, we prefer more sweetness and heaviness in our cold brew.

To brew cold, follow these simple steps using a vessel of your choosing.
