Best cold brew in Tbilisi
Cold coffee in Tbilisi goes well beyond iced americanos. This guide covers the specialty versions: slow-steeped cold brew, nitro, flash-chilled filter and espresso tonics, and how to tell a carefully made one from a shortcut. Roasters currently counts 62 cafés in Tbilisi, #1 in Georgia.
The best cold brew in Tbilisi starts with the same beans the café pours hot: specialty-grade single origins. The difference is the method — long, slow extraction in cold water (12–24 hours) produces a smooth, low-acid concentrate that can be served straight, over ice, with tonic, or on nitro tap.

About cold brew in Tbilisi
Where else in Georgia can I use this guide?
Nowhere else yet; Tbilisi is the only one.
What's the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?
Cold brew is made by steeping coarse-ground coffee in cold water for 12–24 hours, then filtering. Iced coffee is brewed hot and chilled (or poured hot onto ice, Japanese-style). Cold brew is smoother and less acidic; iced coffee is brighter and closer to its hot original.
