Updated December 2022! Califia launched their at-home Oat barista blend a few years ago, and quickly followed it up with unsweetened and lightly sweetened Almond barista blends. Last year, they focused on function with two healthier, but short-lived varieties. This year, Califia Farms Barista Blends are back to the basics, but they have added a seasonal Pumpkin Spice Oat flavor for fall, and a more permanent Vanilla Oat variety.

Alas, the Mushroom Oat and Hemp Barista blends were very short-lived. They were both introduced in 2021, and hit shelves for less than a year.
