RICA COLD BREW

RICA Cold Brew is a ready-to-drink cold brew coffee brand built around single-origin Mexican arabica beans sourced exclusively from the Chiapas highlands of southern Mexico. The company produces canned cold brew coffee using a 20-hour cold steeping process that extracts a smooth, low-acid concentrate without the use of heat, shortcuts, or additives. Each 12-ounce can contains only two ingredients — Mexican arabica coffee and filtered water — delivering 250mg of natural caffeine, 5 calories, and zero grams of sugar per serving.

The beans used in RICA's cold brew are grown in volcanic soil at high altitude through Grupo Toscaf's network of family farms in the Chiapas region, a coffee-growing area that represents only 2% of the world's total coffee supply. The growing conditions — altitude, volcanic soil, and regional climate — naturally produce a bold, complex flavor profile characterized by dark chocolate and maple notes, a smooth finish, and no bitterness. The company positions the origin itself as central to the product's identity and sources exclusively from this single region to maintain consistency and traceability.

RICA's cold brew is plant-based and vegan, and each can is free from gluten, dairy, nuts, synthetic sweeteners, and artificial dyes. The product is shelf-stable for up to 12 months, allowing it to ship and store at room temperature, which simplifies logistics and distribution. It is designed to be consumed chilled or over ice.

The brand sells direct-to-consumer through its website, offering both one-time purchases and subscription options with savings, free shipping, and flexible cancellation. Product formats include 6-packs and 12-packs, with per-can pricing structured to incentivize subscription purchasing. RICA has also established a sports marketing presence, serving as the official coffee of the Florida Panthers NHL team, signaling a broader retail and brand awareness strategy.

With 60-plus verified reviews and a 4.8-star rating, the brand has built an early consumer following among cold brew enthusiasts, energy drink switchers, and performance-oriented consumers seeking a high-caffeine, clean-label alternative to conventional ready-to-drink coffee products. Each purchase is positioned as directly supporting more than 2,000 Mexican family farms, connecting consumer purchases to agricultural livelihoods in an underrepresented coffee-growing region.
