Chapman's, a Canadian manufacturer of ice cream, was founded in 1973 and the company recently created its first collaborative product. And the business that Chapman's chose to collaborate with is a significant one too, since it's Indigenous-owned.
For its first-ever collab, Chapman's partnered with coffee company Birch Bark for a coffee flavor for its new Super Premium Plus ice cream line. The Cold Brew Coffee flavor promises to not only be a flavorful one but also a purposeful one, since a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the produt will help to support clean drinking water initiatives in Indigenous communities across Canada.
This Cold Brew Coffee flavor (made with Birch Bark's cold brew) will be joining other flavors from the premium line like Salty Caramel Crunch and Chocolate & Brownies.
