# Cardamom Cold Brew Coffees Trader Joe's Has a New Vanilla Cardamom Cold Brew Coffee By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2024-10-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-cardamom-cold-brew-coffee References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/vanilla-cardamom-cold-brew-coffee-079173)  While it may be [pumpkin spice season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-chai-blend), [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-brew-gingerbread-oat-latte) is looking to offer consumers a different flavor profile for the fall season with the launch of its new Vanilla Cardamom Cold Brew Coffee. Trader Joe's new Vanilla Cardamom Cold Brew Coffee starts with 100% Arabica coffee beans that have been steeped in cold water for 12 hours – a process that helps to extract a rich coffee flavor and remove any bitterness. The cold brew is then flavored with vanilla and cardamon, which gives the coffee a sweet, floral, and herbal flavor profile. The final product is a smooth drinking cold brew with a mild acidity. While delicious straight out of the bottle, you can also add a splash of milk (or non-dairy milk) and a bit of sugar to create that cafe-quality experience.
