    Obsessed with Cold Brew!

    Your cold brew coffee hits just right! It’s strong enough to get my attention, and makes my taste buds happy!

    The only challenge is the packaging. First order was damaged during shipping. Replacement order was squished a bit, and the nozzle is very twisted so it’s difficult to pour the coffee.

Do I need to refrigerate before opening?

Nope, you can store Wandering Bear cold brew at room temperature until you open it. We use a flash pasteurization and sterilization process for our cold brew that allows for safe storage at room temperature before opening without affecting its taste. Once opened, the product must be refrigerated.

How long does the cold brew last?

This is a very relative question. But since we wrote it, we know what we meant. From a freshness perspective, each box will stay fresh until the printed “best by” date on the back of the box. Once the tap is open, your 96oz cold brew will stay fresh for 30 days.

Are all of the flavors certified organic?

Most of our products are certified USDA Organic, and as such, almost all of them use the same base organic coffee sources from small farms in Peru. There are a few exceptions to this rule: 

  • A few of our cold brew flavors are made with the same USDA Organic certified beans as our other products, however they contain "natural and artificial" flavors and therefore the product cannot be certified organic. These flavors include: Banana Bread, S'mores, Irish Cream and Blueberry Muffin.
  • Our Decaf cold brew is made using conventional (non-organic) beans. With decaf, our priority is sourcing high-quality specialty-grade coffee that has been decaffeinated using only water (e.g. no chemicals). This is the same standard required for organic coffee, however not all of the decaf we are able to source carries the USDA Organic certification. Therefore, our Decaf is not certified organic.
Can I heat the cold brew?

Yes. You can heat it up and it will still be one of the smoothest cups of coffee you have ever had. For a true hot coffee connoisseur, they will note a difference (less acidity, less bitterness) than a hot cup because this is, well, heated cold brew which is chemically different. You can absolutely heat in the microwave as long as you ensure you don't overheat/boil the coffee. The best method is to heat on the stovetop under low heat.

How long does it take to receive an order?

Orders are typically delivered to your door in 3-7 business days from the date of purchase. This includes 1-3 business days for processing time and then another 2-4 days for delivery. There can be outliers to this timeframe, so if you have any questions on your order, reach out to our customer service team and we will make it right. Please note, our warehouse does not ship on weekends or holidays, so all orders placed Friday-Sunday will begin processing the following Monday.

How much caffeine is in one serving?

150-160mg of caffeine per 6oz serving. This is roughly equivalent to 2-3 shots of espresso per serving. Our decaf option contains 7.5mg of caffeine per serving.

Do I need to dilute the cold brew with milk or water?

Our cold brew is extra strong but ready-to-drink out of the box, so you don't have to mess around with measuring out coffee and water before you've even had your morning brew. That said, it's your coffee, and it's endlessly customizable: drink it straight black, with milk and sugar, in a smoothie, in a cocktail, or however you're feeling that day.

WHAT ARE YOUR INGREDIENTS?
