In our analogy, Bright is the fruit—specifically, the tart berry flavors possible in East African coffees, especially naturally processed Ethiopian beans. Naturally processed coffees are dried with trace amounts of the coffee cherry still on them, which infuses them with exceptional berry flavors. These candied flavor notes don’t always extract properly when cold-brewed; heat is sometimes required to coax them into the water. By tinkering with the combination of coffees, we landed on a kinetic yet silky-smooth cold brew.
