We Tried The Cold Brew Coffees You Always See On Instagram!

And cold brew is our favorite chemical reaction.

A lot of science goes into making coffee. Cold brew is unique because the coffee beans are brewed in cool filtered water; there is no heat involved. This gives the coffee a refreshing and lighter form, especially compared to iced latte. Some of Jeddah’s cafes have perfected this art.
