It can’t have ‘sipped’ under your radar that coffee culture is a major part of modern-day life for a huge portion of the world’s population. Whether it’s just the desire for that caffeine hit, or an opportunity to meet friends or family while having a satisfying drink, it’s something that’s here to stay.

There is of course the ever popular hot coffee in all it’s wonderful guises. Then there’s that warm weather favorite iced coffee, but now we also have the relatively new kid on the block surging in popularity - cold brew coffee.

What’s the difference you ask?

Iced coffee is made by brewing hot coffee and then chilling it either in a fridge or serving over ice, however that can dilute the flavor as the ice melts. On the other hand, cold brew involves steeping ground coffee beans in cold water for an extended period.

The cream of the cold brew coffee crop?

So let’s take stock of some of the players in the cold brew market place.

Well, that leads us nicely to SToK Cold Brew Coffee. Their offerings come in a variety of flavors – such as espresso blend, and pumpkin.

Then there’s Chamelon Coffee – whose range as you would expect has evolved in a colorful way. They say they’ve been making cold brew since 2010 “before it was cool!” Vanilla and mocha are among their best sellers.

Wandering Bear is described as a “big strong coffee with a smooth side” – certainly not a grizzly taste we’d say.

Hazelnut and caramel are two of their mouth-watering options.

Maybe a Plascene partnership could be among their bear essentials.
