The Cold Brew Project
Naturally sweet coffee from Colombia.
The Cold Brew Project makes cold brew with only two ingredients: coffee, water y nada más – the coffee is roasted in a unique way so the flavor is naturally sweet without having to add sugar. Their product simplifies the process for offices to serve cold brew on tap by managing setup logistics and distributing it in kegs across the Bay. The Cold Brew Project is primed to capitalize on the $110 billion coffee market's fastest-growing category as consumer preferences shift from hot to cold coffee, driven by Millennials and Gen Z.
