Kyoto-style cold brew

Kyoto-style cold brew is a method of preparing coffee where cold water slowly drips through ground coffee over several hours, typically using a specialized tower with a series of stacked containers. This slow extraction process results in a smooth, highly aromatic coffee with a rich flavor profile and lower acidity compared to hot water brewing. The process emphasizes precision and patience, highlighting the nuances of the coffee beans. Originating from Kyoto, Japan, this technique produces a clean, notably fragrant brew that is appreciated for its refined taste and balanced complexity.
