The Ajinomoto Atlr.72® GRe:en Drop Coffee has been launched as a new beverage option in Singapore that's formulated with Solar Foods' Solein protein to offer a new kind of coffee-based refreshment experience. The drink maintains a dairy-free iced latte recipe that includes both regular coffee alongside a bean-free alternative that's made using rice and chickpeas. The drink is made with 70% regular coffee and 30% of the bean-free coffee, which will offer a CO₂ emissions drop of 25% compared to full coffee alternatives.
The Ajinomoto Atlr.72® GRe:en Drop Coffee comes as part of the brand's wider strategic shift towards foods and drinks that focus on consumer health and sustainability. The drink will be available for a limited time only, but is reported to be the first of additional products to come.
