Nestlé: new plant-based drinks for Baristas

(CercleFinance.com) - On Friday Nestlé announced that it had strengthened its range of plant-based drinks with the launch of new products aimed at "baristas", the professional coffee makers.


The Swiss food giant said it had recently launched a coconut-based drink labelled "Nestlé Barista" in Thailand for making cold coffees, which are particularly popular in that country.

Meanwhile, in China, the group has been marketing two vegetable alternatives based on peas and oats for a year now, which can be used to make both coffee and tea.

In South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, the Nestlé Barista range is available in the form of a pea-based vegetable drink.

Finally, in Brazil, Nestlé says it will launch an oat-based drink for cold coffees and lattes at the end of 2022 under the Nature's Heart Barista brand.

The Vevey-based group says that the market for plant-based alternatives is currently booming, with 40% of consumers wishing to adopt a low-fat or animal-free diet.
