The Califia Farms Black & White blend is a dairy-free cold brew coffee designed to be a healthy alternative for consumers seeking something more wholesome and calorie-conscious caffeinated beverage. The drink contains nut-based replacements for dairy products and is served ready to drink with a premixed base.
The drink is called the Black & White because it already incorporates the cream element of a coffee drink pre-mixed into the cold brew. However, rather than cream the beverage opts for natural almond milk and a unsweetened base. The drink is vegan certified and naturally sweet thanks to the almond milk. The use of natural ingredients also renders the chilled coffee low in calories. The pre-packaged design allows consumers to take the drink to go, and enjoy cold brew coffee without having to wait for it to steep.
