Cold Front

Cold Front is a medium roast blend that we developed especially for cold brew methods. It's a refreshing cup with gentle blackberry notes and purple grape sweetness. The smooth, creamy body rounds out into a lingering finish of caramel and chocolate.

Cold Brew

The Cold Brew method of making iced coffee has gained popularity over the years and offers an alternative for people who have sensitive stomachs. Steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold, fresh water for 12-24 hours produces a rich, low acid coffee concentrate when filtered. The liquid concentrate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six weeks, and can be cut with water and milk (or milk alternative) to taste.

Base Parameters: • 10oz coarsely-ground coffee • 40oz water • Steep for 12-24 hours • Strain and dilute the concentrate to taste with water or milk

Iced Pour Over

Brewing coffee directly over ice is a quick and easy alternative to the Cold Brew method. This technique produces a fresh, clean, and aromatic iced coffee. You can use various methods and brewers for this technique, but we recommend the Chemex.

The goal of this method is to brew a concentrated coffee that is diluted to the proper ratio as the ice melts, using equal parts water and ice. Direct contact with ice cools the brewed coffee quickly, retaining aromas and bright flavors not found in cold brewed coffee.

Base Parameters: • 52g coffee • 355g hot water • 355g ice • Place ice in the bottom of the Chemex after rinsing the filter, and brew directly over ice.

Scale up or down as needed for the volume of your chosen pour over method.

Cold Front, a selection from PT's Coffee Roasting, presents a profile defined by deep, dark fruit and indulgent sweetness. The roaster identifies distinct notes of blackberry and purple grape, balanced by the grounding richness of caramel and chocolate. These descriptors highlight a classic, dessert-like complexity that often appeals to those who enjoy a full-bodied cup with a lingering, sugary finish.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consider how specific processing methods and origins influence the final cup. While some coffees lean toward bright, citrus-forward acidity, others emphasize the darker, jammy qualities found here. To better understand how these specific tasting notes fit into the broader spectrum of coffee quality and sensory evaluation, you can consult the flavor wheel. This tool provides a structured way to categorize and identify the nuanced characteristics that define a coffee’s unique identity, helping you refine your palate as you explore different roasts.
