Rachel Dillon is the founder of Cold Brew Chick, an online resource and podcast about all things cold brew. Her passion for cold brew began out of desperation. She loved her morning coffee, but hated the acid reflex attacks that would soon attack her chest. A trendy drink started to pop up in my social media feed called "cold brew", and after that first sip, she was hooked! Not only did it taste better than any coffee she had ever had, but she didn't feel the desire to reach for the Tums. Cold Brew Chick is a place to learn more about this wonderful drink and be inspired from the people that are fueled by it. What started as a nutrition project at San Diego State has turned into my brand, blog, side hustle, and passion. Not a day goes by without a cold brew by my side!

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How Rachel got hooked on cold brew coffee.
• The difference between hot coffee, iced coffee, and cold brew.
• What you need to look for when shopping for cold brew at the grocery store or your favorite coffee shop.
