Where do you source your coffee?
We support sustainable agriculture and the farmers that practice it. Broadly speaking...we source our coffee in the Western Hemisphere. More specifically, from a handful of farms and co-operatives scattered throughout the wonderful-coffee-producing countries of Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru.
Can I recycle Wandering Bear packaging?
Yes, and it depends, all at the same time. See below for instructions by product line:
- Coffee on tap boxes: separate the bag from the box and recycle both (or tear the box into little pieces and compost it!).
- Cartons: yes, wherever cartons can be recycled. Check http://www.recyclecartons.com/ to see if carton recycling is available in your area. If not, check https://www.zillow.com/ to find a new spot in a place that recycles cartons ;-)
Do I need to refrigerate the cold brew before I open it?
Once you've opened a box, pop it in the fridge to keep it fresh -- we usually enjoy it cold over ice. Technically we’re supposed to say that the coffee will stay fresh for 30 days once you open the box… but we know it to both stay fresh longer than that and to get consumed faster than that.
How long does Wandering Bear cold brew last?
Do I need to dilute Wandering Bear cold brew with milk or water?
What equipment would you recommend to brew my own cold brew?
Do I need to keep my box of Wandering Bear cold?
Keep your brew cold once you open it! We’ve worked out a gentle pasteurization process for our cold brew that allows for safe storage at room temperature before opening without affecting its taste. Once you've opened a box, pop it in the fridge to keep it fresh -- we usually enjoy it cold over ice. That said, you can absolutely heat up a mug of Wandering Bear if you're in the mood for a hot cup of coffee.
