Fun Coffee facts of the day!
Did you know that Cold Brew Coffee is:
1️⃣ slowly brewed in either cold or room temperature water rather than quickly brewed in hot water
2️⃣ is higher in caffeine. Cold Brew contains 100-200 mg of coffee compared to the 95 mg in a traditional cup
3️⃣ Cold Brew stays fresh for 1-2 weeks, as opposed to a regular cup only staying fresh for one day
