Cold brew is the magical potion that is produced when you steep coarse coffee grounds in water for 18 - 24 hours. It is never heated, resulting in a smoother, less acidic flavor. Because of the longer brew method, it is jam packed with caffeine. It’ll give you a swift kick in the rump if you’re not careful. By the way, have you ever seen a cow get the zoomies?

Think big-ass tea bag filled with 2.5 oz of coarsely ground, organic and fair-trade coffee, just itching to be brewed.

Place the cold brew pouch in 4 cups of water and wait 18-24 hours for that delicious bean juice.

We’ll tell you what it doesn't mean, anti-caffeine. We love caffeine here at River Cow. It means that you’re mindful of when and how much caffeine you’re consuming to best suit your lifestyle.

Example time. Maybe you start your day with a Decaf cold brew to wake up naturally (like us). 2 cups of Full Caff cold brew a day max (like us). Let’s say you only drink Full Caff cold brews before 1 pm (like us). And maybe you enjoy a Decaf cold brew in the late afternoon (like us).

If you’re someone who prioritizes good sleep hygiene, this sounds pretty dang good. Caffeine-conscious living is being aware of when you consume caffeine to prioritize positive lifestyle habits.

Editor's note: if you have an occasional afternoon Full Caff cold brew, that’s okay. We’re human after all. What’s life if not lived (with a slight caffeine dependency), right?

Concentrate is the pure stuff. It’s made during the brewing process with the intention of being diluted. It’s pure enough to knock your socks off. We cannot emphasize this enough, we do not recommend drinking it straight (pre-dilution). Although, some people do, intentionally (seek help) or unintentionally (so long, cowboy). 

We recommend diluting the concentrate with water or your preferred alternatives after brewing or when you’re ready to drink. That way, you have a balanced brew that won’t have you accidentally running through a wall.

We’re not here to tell you how to live your life, but we believe cold brew is the ideal way to enjoy coffee. Great things take time, right?

Cold brew is there for you as a cold, udderly refreshing beverage with delicious notes of chocolatey goodness that will brighten your day. Energize you too. Cold brew is for those who want to go zoom (this message brought to you by Big Caffeine).

Not your mom or dad, but Decaf cold brew is the secret to cold brew nirvana. It’s the “All Day” coffee. Ever feel guilty about an afternoon coffee?? “OMG. How am I going to get great, quality sleep tonight? I just did a v bad thing!!” Not with decaf. 99% of the caffeine is removed in the decaffeination process, allowing you to continue to get those high-quality zzz’s every night.

A question for the sophisticated types. We are here for it.

We use a non-chemical, water process to decaffeinate our beans. It allows us to remove most of a vast majority of the caffeine without compromising on flavor. Allowing you to indulge all. damn. day.

But don't just take our word for it... try for yourself!
