Flavor Profile and Taste Review
The Cold Brew base is smooth, chocolatey, and low-acid, exactly what you expect from a 20-hour steep. The nondairy vanilla sweet cream floats on top with a lighter, slightly tropical undertone from the coconutmilk. It is not as thick or heavy as the dairy sweet cream, which some people actually prefer — the coffee flavor comes through more clearly. The vanilla sweetness is present but not overpowering, making this one of the more balanced flavored cold brews.
