Updated April 2024! Califia launched their at-home Oat barista blend several years ago, and quickly followed it up with unsweetened and lightly sweetened Almond barista blends. In 2021, they focused on function with two healthier. The detour was short-lived, and in 2022, Califia Farms Barista Blends went back to the basics. This year, they’re continuing their simplistic push forward with a Coconutmilk version. And Califia has expanded their Barista distribution to the UK.
