About Caldoro Blend
As Henry mused in his living room one day about creating an intense, rich, syrupy blend he could introduce to his customers, and what he might name this new blend of amazingness, he began picturing the way lava flows out of a volcano: intense, syrupy-thick golden rivers heading down the mountainside. Hot and golden = calor and oro.
With a bit of wordsmithery and decades of coffee roasting know-how, Henry combined the two Spanish words into the name “Caldoro”, and dark-roasted select beans from Brazil, Colombia, and Sumatra, to bring his vision to life. The result, we think, will explode in your cup while simultaneously comforting your palate with its dark, chocolate sweetness.
Henry's House of Coffee
Henry Kalebjian’s coffee roasting roots began in Lebanon, where to share coffee is to offer friendship without barriers. Henry’s father owned a bakery there and served coffee, and as the business grew, Henry’s father pulled him out of school to help roast the coffee. Henry moved to the United States in the early 70s and purchased House of Coffee in 1983 in its present location on Noriega Street in the Sunset District of San Francisco. Henry’s son, Hrag, grew up in the business, though unlike his father, he didn’t work in the store when he was 12, preferring to watch cartoons instead. But in 2013, Hrag left his corporate finance position to work on marketing and business development for Henry’s.
“Roasting coffee is not just a business for us, but a part of our lineage,” says Hrag, who hopes his sons will follow in his footsteps. Henry’s House of Coffee specializes in beautiful darker roasts, and 60 years of experience translate into special coffees that feature great flavor and ultra-smooth finish without the bitterness. They also roast Soorj, or Armenian style coffee.
