The McCafé Cold Brew Coffee is being test marketed by McDonald's in the San Diego area to provide consumers with an artisan-inspired caffeinated drink that has a premium flavor and an easy drinking profile.
The coffee is made from 100% Arabica coffee beans that have been sourced from farms in Guatemala that are Rainforest Alliance Certified and can be ordered black or with your choice of cream and sugar. The brand is also testing the new Marble Cold Brew beverage, which consists of the cold brew coffee paired with swirls of light cream along with sweet creamy syrup.
The McCafé Cold Brew Coffee is only available for a limited-time, but is sure to be a hit amongst consumers looking to give the cold coffee variety a try.
