The Cold Brew Bean Conundrum: Finding Your Perfect Match

Real talk: Cold brew isn’t just a trend—it’s a ritual. But here’s the kicker: the right bean can make the difference between a drink that feels like a coffee latte in disguise and one that’s a masterclass in depth.

Roasting Reveals Coffee’s Hidden Layers

Pouring two Coffee Chronicler cups this morning—one a Sumatran Mandhelian from Happy Mug, the other a Costa Rican Honey processed anaerobic from FreshRoast—felt like unlocking a secret code. Both were extraordinary, scoring 9 to 9.5 out of 10. The Costa Rican, still resting for five days, hinted at swirling citrus, berries, and stone fruit, while the Sumatran surprised me with molasses, cinnamon, and a balance I’d never detected in a bag from a year ago. The journey began with skepticism. A…
