From the roaster
Great Heights is a bold and robust coffee, inspired by the Heights in every borough and the dreamer spirit in every New Yorker. As one of our most developed roasts, Great Heights features a rich body with deeply satisfying chocolate and nutty notes.
Although we originally created Great Heights as a cold brew to serve in our cafes, it is equally delicious when brewed hot, and is sure to please any dark roast drinker. To brew this as cold brew at home, check out our article How to Brew Cold Brew Coffee: Recipe & Tips.
