Southern Gothic | Cold Brew Blend

It’s literary. It’s Southern. It’s dark. But we’re not talking about Flannery O’Connor, William Faulkner or Cormac McCarthy. Southern Gothic is warm, comfort coffee at its best. We chose to start offering this as our in-house cold brew because it’s a great, darker-roasted, low-acid blend. Think heavier body, rich full chocolates and caramels. The kind of coffee anybody can enjoy.

Current coffees: Brazil, Colombia

We taste: Chocolate, caramel, well-balanced.

The Southern Gothic blend from Quills Coffee is specifically crafted for cold brew preparation, focusing on a profile defined by chocolate and caramel notes. By utilizing beans sourced from Colombia, this blend aims to achieve a well-balanced cup that remains smooth and approachable when steeped over extended periods.

In the broader context of coffee preparation, cold brewing often highlights the deeper, sugar-browning characteristics of a roast while muting the brighter acidity found in hot-brewed methods. When evaluating these specific flavor profiles, enthusiasts often refer to the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances of sweetness and body present in their brew. Because this blend is designed for the unique extraction dynamics of cold water, it offers a consistent experience that emphasizes the foundational, comforting qualities of its origin.
