Califia Farms is expanding its range of plant-based beverages with two brand-new Barista Blends, the Mushroom Oat Barista Blend and the Hemp Barista Blend. Both of these new additions take the form of barista-tested plant milk products that are packed with functional ingredients and they are versatile enough to be used as creamers.
Developed with professional baristas, these two Barista Blends offer the experience of cafe coffee at home and they respond to consumers getting inspired in the kitchen to create their own latte art during the pandemic. Creamy and rich in texture, the blends promise to elevate the at-home coffee experience, especially when getting to a favorite local coffee shop can be a challenge.
