Appealing to a new generation of coffee lovers who demand quality and convenience, Lost Sheep Coffee added a specialty-grade Iced Caramel Latte to its lineup that's traceable to its origin.
"Many mainstream RTD Coffee brands use commercial quality coffee (with most using instant) which isn’t hitting the mark for the new, quality-led consumer who expects coffee shop quality," said Lost Sheep Coffee founder Stuart Wilson, “Our cans use specialty grade coffee beans, which are traceable from origin and freshly ground and brewed into our cans. They are the only RTD coffee cans on the market to offer 100% Coffee traceability from origin to can."
While appealing to ingredient-conscious consumers, this ready-to-drink iced latte also meets the demand for lighter options, since it's prepared with skimmed milk and boasts less than 80 calories per can.
