Dog Days
Fudge, Blackberry Jam, Lemongrass
Final roast Tuesday, 9/5.
The dog days of summer have arrived—time to brew up a batch of our seasonal cold brew blend!
Dog Days is a light-medium roast consisting of four coffees from Central America and Africa. Notes of fudge and blackberry jam accompany gentle golden raspberry acidity in the cup, with a creamy body and a hint of lemongrass in the finish.
We're including two basic iced coffee recipes below to get you started. But, just like our year-round Cold Front Signature Blend, Dog Days tastes great brewed hot as well. Don't hesitate to use your favored brew method!
Base Parameters:
• 12oz coarsely-ground coffee
• 48oz water
• Steep for 12-24 hours
• Strain and dilute the concentrate to taste with water or milk. We recommend a ratio of 1.5 parts water to 1 part concentrate, plus ice (if desired).

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 pour over brewers for this method, but we recommend the Chemex.
The goal of the iced pour over 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:
• 50g coffee
• 350g hot water
• 350g ice
• Rinse and remove the filter and place ice in the bottom of the Chemex. Return rinsed filter to the Chemex, add ground coffee, and brew directly over the ice.
Scale up or down as needed for the volume of your chosen pour over method.
