Finally tried a Cold Brewed Coffee

The chaps at Rocket Coffee in Hamilton opened up a whole new world to me today...
Gelana Abaya Yirgacheffe cold brewed.
I had always wondered what it was like and was never really optimistic, so having the chance to try some today dispelled any worries.
Firstly the explosion of aromas was stunning, this was followed by the aromas directly translating into the taste. Si in this coffee you get a hit of red cherries and in the cup, yep red cherries. It really didn't taste of coffee.
It was a very refreshing drink for a very hot late spring day (Only ran to about 27 Deg C).
Anyone else tried/makes cold brew. I have got some sat in the fridge for the morning as it is getting to warm for a hot drink...
BTW ratio I worked on was 49 grams coarse grind to 800 mls of water (Cold of course)
