Coffee Details
Everything about this blend — how it tastes, where it comes from, and how to brew it.
Origin Story
Calima is built from 100% premium Arabica sourced across multiple origins, mostly in Central and South America, through long-term relationships with farms that grow to our standards. Beans are picked and sorted by hand, then blended and roasted in small batches at our own facility in St. Petersburg, Florida.
This blend was developed specifically for cold extraction — a medium-light profile that stays sweet and low in acidity after a long steep, rather than turning flat the way a darker roast can.
How to Brew
Cold Brew — 1:8 ratio, coarse grind, steep 16 hours, serve over ice. Drip — 1:16 ratio for a lighter hot cup. Calima is built for cold extraction — low acidity, naturally sweet.
Our Roasting
Nothing sits on a shelf waiting for an order. Every batch is roasted to order and packaged on demand, and we hold at most a week of stock at any time. Beans then rest 24 to 72 hours before they ship — coffee tastes better a couple of days off the roaster than it does straight out of it.
We roast roughly 7,000 pounds a week at our St. Petersburg facility, and every profile is modulated to develop sweetness and body while preserving the character of the origin.
