Our Story
Some businesses begin with a plan. Calena Coffee began with a friendship.
-
A Friendship That Changed Everything
Carla met Elena during a time when life tested her in countless ways. Even through the difficult moments, Elena carried a deep love for coffee—not just the drink itself, but the warmth, connection, and joy it brings to people. Before Elena passed away, she sent Carla a simple gift: a coffee kit and an apron. It was a small gesture, but one filled with meaning.
-
From a Gift to a Passion
That gift sparked something in Carla — a curiosity that soon grew into a passion. She began learning everything she could about coffee — the craft, the culture, and the journey behind every bean. That passion eventually led her to Honduras, where she now grows coffee on her own farm.
-
The Meaning Behind the Name
Through her coffee company, My Classic Coffee, Carla shares those beans with partners across Europe and now the United States. But Calena Coffee represents something even more personal — the name Calena is a combination of Carla and Elena, a tribute to the friendship that started it all.

Client Testimonial
What our customers say about Calena
Calena Coffee has completely changed my morning routine. The beans are incredibly fresh — you can taste the difference from the first sip. Rich chocolate notes, a hint of citrus, and a smoothness I've never found in store-bought coffee. I order a bag every two weeks and I'm never going back.

What our customers say about Calena
I found Calena at their foodtruck and was blown away. Best espresso I've had outside of a specialty cafe. The story behind Carla and Elena makes every cup feel personal. I've gifted their coffee to friends and everyone keeps asking where to get more.

What our customers say about Calena
As someone who takes coffee seriously, I appreciate everything Calena stands for — direct trade, single origin, specialty grade. But what sets them apart is that the coffee actually delivers on every promise. The medium roast is my everyday go-to. Absolutely exceptional.
