The Waiting Cat Brew Recipes

The Waiting Cat

Deep, chocolatey and wonderfully comforting, The Waiting Cat is made for slower moments.

Its rich body and low acidity make it delicious black, but it also pairs beautifully with milk—especially oat milk. Here are four simple ways to enjoy it.

Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate · Roasted Hazelnut · Low Acidity
Drip Bag: 10g
Best Brewed At: 89–91°C

A little brew tip:
Let freshly boiled water rest for about 2–3 minutes before pouring. The slightly cooler temperature keeps the cup smooth, rich and chocolatey.
