OAKLAND,
Calif., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyage
Foods, the food innovation company that combines breakthrough
technology and wholesome ingredients to secure the future of our
favorite foods, today announced its bean-free coffee is now
available to commercial customers in foodservice and food
manufacturing channels.
Voyage Foods' bean-free brew is the result of proprietary
technology that transforms natural ingredients into familiar
flavors and formats. Today, Voyage's bean-free coffee with caffeine
is over 40% cheaper than traditional coffee, providing coffee
manufacturers with price stability that result in significantly
better margins.
Voyage's bean-free coffee is made from roasted chickpeas, rice
hulls, and caffeine from green tea at levels similar to traditional
coffee. It is available in a variety of caffeinated and
decaffeinated formats including roast and ground, liquid, liquid
concentrate, and instant in a variety of flavor profiles.
This year alone, robusta beans have risen 63% and coffee prices
are projected to keep rising, due to the increased impact of
extreme weather conditions, pests and diseases on coffee crops and
coffee-growing regions. As land suitable for growing coffee is
shrinking due to climate change, global demand has increased
substantially, and expanded cultivation has led to tropical
deforestation.
To ensure that the world can continue to enjoy coffee without
environmental or ethical concession, Voyage offers a simple,
affordable swap for traditional mass-market coffee with a
delicious, no-compromise taste.
"Given the current dynamics of the coffee market, food and
beverage suppliers are uneasy about supply-chain volatility as well
as fulfilling their triple bottom line of people, planet, and
profit," said Adam Maxwell, CEO and
Founder of Voyage Foods. "There will always be a place for premium,
fair-trade, single-origin coffee, and that's not our target—we
intend to make the biggest possible impact, and we'll do that by
supplying an eco-friendlier, ethically made alternative to
commodity coffee."
Specialty coffee represents only around 20% of the global
coffee market. A vast majority of coffee drinkers worldwide select
mass-market coffee, whether brewed at home, at work, or on the
road.
