The competition, open to roasters in North America, has been developed to determine and acknowledge the best tasting cold brew and nitro coffee across the U.S. and Canada. The winner? [Reborn Coffee](https://www.rebornglobal.com/) at Regency Centers' [Village at La Floresta](https://www.regencycenters.com/property/detail/60591/Village-at-La-Floresta) in Brea, CA, took home top honors and the $1,000 purse. The shop, which opened April 20 of this year, uses what it calls 'overclass cold-brew extraction,' technology to preserve each coffee bean's distinct regional flavor and taste and extract the most desirable notes from each variety. ![Reborn execs celebrating winning America's Best Cold Brew competition](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Reborn.jpg?width=600&height=600&name=Reborn.jpg "Reborn.jpg")*L to R: Daniel Storll (Reborn Store Manager & Head Barista) / Jinhan Kim (Director of Operations) / Joel Oh (Product Development Manager & Roaster)*   Judging was done by Coffee Fest attendees, plus a control group of four blind judges comprised of industry professionals. (The professional judges' votes carried more weight than the attendees.) Competitors' cold brew samples were judged on taste. Judges considered the flavor complexity, balance and aftertaste. Cold brew entries were to be made with only coffee and water — additives or flavoring added during the brewing or distribution process were not allowed. "Competitors were from various regions of the U.S., some of which are major U.S. coffee roasters, as well as local famous coffee roasteries," said Jinhan Kim, Reborn Coffee's director of operations. ![Coffee tournament bracket showing 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/RebornBracket.jpg?width=620&height=455&name=RebornBracket.jpg "RebornBracket.jpg") What does he think sets Reborn apart from the rest? > "Innovative quality," said Kim. "Not only do we manage all production steps from green bean to each cup, we also take several innovative steps to make our quality better and healthier. We use nano-clustered water, sprouted green beans, unified moisture levels and custom-profiled cold-brew extractions as all of our exclusive technologies." He says winning the competition is a "truly memorable milestone" for Reborn. "Years of preparation and dedication from all of our team members has led us to step up for this national level competition and win the title," he added. "This is the beginning." "Reborn Coffee is a recent addition to our center,” said [Erin Saltzman](https://www.regencycenters.com/employee/1974/Erin-Saltzman), leasing agent for the property. “It is very exciting to see them awarded with this honor. They see a lot of traffic at their shop, and their cold brew is delicious!”   ##### Connect With Us [Join Our Mailing List](https://www.regencycenters.com/connect-with-us/)  > [Explore Our Markets](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties/our-markets)  > [Find a Space For Your Place](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties)  > ##### Related Stories [May 14 Regency Centers Earns 18th Consecutive First Coast Healthiest Companies Award](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/18th-first-coast-healthiest-companies-award) [Feb 05 Regency Centers Announces Lone Tree Village Development in Colorado](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-centers-announces-lone-tree-village-a-king-soopers-anchored-retail-destination-serving-the-ridgegate-community) [Jan 29 Regency Centers Acquires Mount Sinai Shopping Center in Long Island](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/mount-sinai-shopping-center-in-long-island) [Dec 24 Learn How Regency Shopping Centers are Celebrating from Coast-to-Coast](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-shopping-centers-celebrating) [Dec 23 Heather Brooker and Village at La Floresta Host Virtual Holiday Party](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/heather-brooker-village-at-la-floresta-virtual-holiday-party) [Oct 28 Regency's Ultimate Tailgate Takeout ft. @jetplanemommy](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/ultimate-tailgate-takeout-ft.-jetplanemommy) [Oct 28 Regency's Ultimate Tailgate Takeout ft. @jetplanemommy](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/ultimate-tailgate-takeout-ft.-jetplanemommy) [Sep 01 Connecting at La Floresta: A Fresh Look Story](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/connecting-at-la-floresta-a-fresh-look-story) [Aug 21 CFS Coffee To Join Kirkman Shoppes as Fourth Orlando Location](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/cfs-coffee-joins-kirkman-shoppes-as-fourth-orlando-location) [Oct 03 AT&T's "The Lounge" Combines Coffee, Retail and Tech in Seattle](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/atts-the-lounge-combines-coffee-retail-and-tech-in-seattle) [May 30 Starbucks Cuts Limited-Time Menu Items by 30%](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/starbucks-cuts-limited-time-menu-items-by-thirty-percent) Subscribe [![Regency Centers](https://www.regencycenters.com/ResourcePackages/Regency/assets/dist/images/regency-centers.svg)](https://connect.regencycenters.com/) - [Careers](https://www.regencycenters.com/regency/careers) - [Investors](http://investors.regencycenters.com/) - [News](http://investors.regencycenters.com/news-releases) - [Fresh Look](https://www.regencycenters.com/regency/fresh-look) - [Tenants](https://www.regencycenters.com/tenants) - [Contact](https://www.regencycenters.com/contact) [Find a Property](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties) [Leasing Agent](https://www.regencycenters.com/contact) ![Reg Listed NYSE](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/blog2018/images/stock-ticker.svg) [Regency Centers Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/RegencyCenters) [Regency Centers Twitter](https://twitter.com/RegencyCenters) [Regency Centers Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/regencycenters/) [Regency Centers LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/regency-centers/) MEMBER **S&P 500** Regency Centers is a preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers located in suburban trade areas with compelling demographics. ©2026 Regency Centers [Terms of Service](https://www.regencycenters.com/terms-of-service) [Privacy Policy](https://www.regencycenters.com/privacy-policy) Cookie Settings ![Quantcast](https://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-XHwFJLhjBpfmt.gif) ![](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/Reborn.jpg) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Caron Streibich", "url" : "https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/author/caron-streibich" }, "dateModified" : "2025-01-21T17:54:55.128Z", "datePublished" : "2017-11-02T12:12:00.000Z", "headline" : "Village at La Floresta's Reborn Coffee Wins America's Cold Brew Competition", "image" : [ "//connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/RebornAward4.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/village-at-la-floresta-reborn-coffee-wins", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4081/img/vast.png" }, "name" : "Regency Centers" } } ```
