Plant-based dairy alternative pops up in lattes, chocolate bars, yogurts and more.
Califia Farms in September 2019 expanded its portfolio of plant-based beverages with a new line of canned Nitro Draft Lattes with Oatmilk. The lattes are available in four flavors: Black & White, XX Espresso, Salted Caramel, and Mocha. All varieties are non-G.M.O., kosher and vegan.
The shelf-stable beverages are packaged in 7-oz cans featuring nitro widgets that release nitrogen into the coffee and froth the oat milk upon opening. Califia Farms Nitro Draft Lattes with Oatmilk are made with coffee beans sourced via Direct Trade from partners in South and Central America and East Africa. The beans are roasted at the Califia Coffee Co. facility in Los Angeles.
“Direct Trade means that we pay as much attention to the quality of the beans as to the socioeconomic impact when sourcing them,” said Brian Lovejoy, general manager of coffee at Califia Farms. “It not only results in richer, better tasting coffee, but also in strong supplier partnerships that benefit everyone. We combine these premium beans with our new oat milk, a delicious partner for coffee, which froths beautifully. The product is made even creamier with the nitrogen widget technology, resulting in a unique cold brew experience that keeps you ‘feel good’ energized all day.”
The beverages have a suggested retail price of $2.99 per 7-oz can.
