Southern-Style Instant Coffees

Blue Bottle's NOLA Craft Instant Coffee Blend is Easy to Enjoy

— July 24, 2024 — Lifestyle
Blue Bottle Coffee is paying tribute to its New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee with the launch of the NOLA Craft Instant Coffee Blend.

Blue Bottle's New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee became one of the brand's most popular drinks since its 2005 launch, with about three million sold annually in cafes across the United States and Asia. Since then, coffee lovers have enjoyed Blue Bottle Coffee's take on a New Orleans tradition of serving sweet, milky coffee cut with chicory. In its cafes, Blue Bottle serves Hot NOLA and seasonal flavors, as well as unconventional formats like NOLA Cola, NOLA Shakeratos and NOLA Floats.

This instant option is launching as a convenient way for more people to appreciate the goodness of NOLA, and the launch marks the start of a transformation for all NOLA products from Blue Bottle Coffee.
Trend Themes
1. Instant Craft Coffees - The rise of craft instant coffee blends introduces a premium, artisanal touch to a traditionally mass-market product.
2. Chicory-infused Beverages - Incorporating chicory into beverages offers an innovative way to capitalize on the market's growing interest in unique flavor profiles and health benefits.
3. Convenient Gourmet Drinks - The demand for high-quality, easily-prepared beverages reflects a shift towards convenience without sacrificing the gourmet experience.
Industry Implications
1. Specialty Coffee - The specialty coffee industry is evolving with the introduction of instant blends that preserve the unique characteristics of regional flavors like New Orleans-style coffee.
2. Ready-to-drink Beverages - The expansion of instant, ready-to-drink coffee blends highlights the potential for growth in the market for convenient yet high-quality beverage solutions.
3. Food and Beverage Retail - Food and beverage retailers are exploring new product formats to offer customers premium experiences typically found only in cafes or specialty shops.
