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.
