Move over Coca Cola, there's a new coca-beverage on the market. And while it might not compete directly with #Coke anytime soon (if ever), it is an interesting addition to the already overcrowded craft beer market. But in branding, nothing resonates like a good backstory: "...the fruity aroma of coca steeping in barrels signals that you’ve arrived at the government-authorized El Viejo Roble distillery, which for years has been making liquor from coca leaves and is now gearing up to launch a new coca-infused beer." Would you try it? Should it be legalized? Does a coca-infused beverage seem OK to you? #globalmarket #beverages #healthandwellness #creatvity #travel #innovation #disruption #leadership

The reason we don't give importance to coffee on International Tea Day is straightforward: it’s a day specifically for celebrating tea. International Tea Day, on May 21st, highlights the cultural, economic, and social significance of tea globally. It acknowledges the millions involved in the tea industry and addresses related trade issues. While coffee is also a globally beloved beverage with its own rich history and significant economic impact, it has its own dedicated day: International Coffee Day, celebrated on October 1st. This day provides a similar platform for celebrating coffee, recognizing the work of those in the coffee industry, and promoting sustainable practices. Celebrating International Tea Day specifically for tea allows focused appreciation and discussion about this beverage. Tea enthusiasts, producers, and organizations get the spotlight to share their passion and knowledge without distraction. Coffee, too, has its own dedicated time for recognition. Thus, giving importance to coffee on International Tea Day detracts from the purpose of honoring and promoting tea. Each beverage deserves its own time to be fully highlighted and appreciated.

Mind Your Spirits: Why Gin Importing is Stirring Up Big Business! Hey, friends! Have you heard what's shaking in the world of drinks? This company is mixing things up by bringing a fancy gin, called Sorgin, all the way to our shelves. 🍸 You know what I think? There's more to spirits than just the buzz. While everyone's sipping on the usual, being different can be refreshing – like a splash of tonic in your gin. "Lurton's Sorgin gin", they say? Sounds intriguing... but I bet it's about the story in every bottle, not just the taste. At Supergay Spirits, we totally get that. It’s not just about what’s in the glass; it’s the heart behind it and the community it creates. Like us, they're pouring their passion into every bottle. Neat, huh? 😉 Check out this pour-decision-making adventure: [Article Link]https://buff.ly/3Jmut7x Vintner Francois Lurton Aims For Bigger U.S. Presence - Shanken News Daily

Not long after 2023 World Barista Champion Boram Um joined as a brand ambassador, grinder manufacturer Mazzer announced that Martin Wölfl, the 2024 World Brewers Cup Champion, has also started to represent the brand. As commercial interest in specialty coffee at scale continues to grow, it seems that leaning on champions and competitors is a crucial component of many equipment brands' marketing strategies. Beyond ambassadors, the ICO also announced this week that its Composite Indicator Price – one of the world’s key reference prices for coffee – had reached a 47-year high. The ICO said the spike is due to tight supplies of robusta in Vietnam and the recent proposal from the EU to delay its landmark deforestation regulation. The I-CIP hit a 13-year high just three months ago in July 2024, but ultimately this shows that a volatile C market is likely to be the status quo for a while longer. With both arabica and robusta prices climbing and the potentially delayed EUDR legislation looming, it seems more pertinent than ever for roasters and traders to precisely manage their inventories. Read about these stories and more in this week’s PDG News Recap. https://lnkd.in/dtst5cnp

Insightful article about categories of spirits that deserve more recognition. Asked nuanced questions about the global beverage alcohol industry: Marketing: what is authenticity, and what is conformity? Regulation: is Designation of Origin protection or protectionist? and what is gained and what is lost in translation, quality, and heritage during cross-border and cross cultural exchange. #alcoholicbeverages #beverageindustry #craftspirits #crossborderecommerce #crossbordercollaboration
