Best of Cleveland: Guardian Cold Brew, Bottled Cold Brew

From bean to bottle, Guardian Cold Brew emphasizes Cleveland with great tasting coffee and ethical practices you can feel good about. Owner and coffee fanatic LT Magnotto started his company five years ago to make cafe quality cold brew available anywhere. “You’d open the can or the bottle, and it didn’t taste like what you get when you go into a cafe,” he says. He worked with Phoenix Coffee Roasters to develop the flavor he wanted – smooth and chocolatey with a fruity finish – and they have been roasting and brewing Magnotto’s coffee since. “I could tell you the farmer’s name,” he boasts of the ethical practices in a business where that can be very difficult. Guardian is able to keep their proprietary roast recipe consistent no matter the time of year, and it always tastes good. So whether you're drinking it from the bottle or over ice, like Magnotto enjoys, be sure to pick some up next time you need a delicious caffeine boost. guardiancoldbrew.com
