COLD BREW FAQ
How much caffeine does RICA Cold Brew contain?
Each 12oz can of RICA Mexican Dark Roast packs 250mg of natural caffeine. No nonsense, just bold, single-origin Mexican coffee doing what it does best.
How does 250mg of caffeine compare to a regular cup of coffee?
A standard 8oz cup of coffee has about 95mg of caffeine. RICA has 250mg in a single can, which is roughly 2.5 cups of coffee in one sitting. It's also more caffeine than nearly all other major ready-to-drink cold brews on the market. Consider yourself warned.
What does RICA Cold Brew taste like?
Bold, smooth, and unmistakably rich. Expect deep notes of dark chocolate and maple with a clean, low-acid finish. It's full-bodied without being bitter and strong without being harsh. The kind of cold brew that doesn't need milk or sugar to taste incredible (but won't judge you if you add them).
What ingredients are in RICA Cold Brew?
Just two: single-origin Mexican coffee and filtered water. That's it. No sweeteners, no preservatives or "natural" flavors. The way cold brew should be.
Is there any sugar in RICA Cold Brew?
Zero. No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no stevia, no anything. Every can is unsweetened by design so you get the pure, natural flavor of Chiapas beans.
Is RICA acidic? Will it bother my stomach?
RICA is naturally low in acidity thanks to our high-altitude, shade-grown Chiapas beans and slow cold brew process. Cold brewing extracts up to 67% less acid than hot brewing, which makes RICA easier on your stomach and smoother on your palate. Most people who can't tolerate regular coffee do just fine with cold brew.
Where does RICA source its coffee beans from?
RICA Cold Brew is made exclusively with 100% Arabica single-origin beans from Chiapas, Mexico, one of the world's most exceptional coffee-growing regions. These high-altitude farms, set in volcanic soil, produce beans with rich, complex flavors and naturally low acidity.
Why is Mexican coffee considered rare or special?
Mexican coffee makes up only about 2% of global production, making it a true hidden gem. The combination of altitude, volcanic soil, and regenerative farming methods creates a smooth, layered taste that's hard to find elsewhere. By choosing RICA, you help bring attention to this underrepresented origin.
Is RICA Cold Brew shelf-stable?
Yes. Our cold brew is carefully pasteurized and sealed for freshness, making it shelf-stable for up to 12 months unopened. No refrigeration needed until you open it. Once opened, store it in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days for peak flavor.
Is RICA Cold Brew vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free?
Yes. RICA Mexican Dark Roast is 100% vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free with nothing artificial added. It's clean energy you can feel good about drinking every day.
