Los Angeles-based alternative dairy brand Califa Farms has announced the launch of an all-new product line called Iced Café Mixers. The line consists of a range of dairy-free creamers that have specifically been developed for cold brew coffee drinks. To start, the line will include Vanilla Sweet Crème and Caramel Crème.
Up until now, Califa had only made creamers for hot coffee. According to the company, the move to cold creamers was, in part, a decision made to attract younger consumers who have shown a preference for cold coffee beverages over hot ones.
"Gen Z and millennials drink iced coffee throughout the day and all year round, and we saw an opportunity to develop a groundbreaking product to better meet their needs. These Iced Café Mixers allow them to enjoy their iced coffee to the very last drop with absolutely no compromise on flavor, creaminess, or whitening," said Suzanne Ginestro, chief marketing officer at Califia Farms.
