Cold Brew
The name tells you the plan, and 8th and Roast backs it up: cold brew is the method they recommend. The notes read chocolate, nuts and brown sugar, with sweet and smooth on top. That's a comfortable, low-drama profile for a jar in the fridge.
Pick it if sweet and brown sugar sound good to you.
Best for Cold brew makers who want a sweet, chocolatey batch
