The drink is made with [Rainforest Alliance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caffe-latte-hazenut-brownie)-certified coffee and has been decaffeinated to accommodate consumer preferences for low and no caffeine options. The latte features no added sugar, features a low fat 1% formulation and features less than 150-calories per serving. The coffee drink comes in a resealable package to accommodate consumption out of the house.

It’s a clear gap in the market and is a product consumers are also asking us for both in our socials and in our market research." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 72% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Decaffeinated Ready-to-drink Lattes:** A rising consumer preference for low- and no-caffeine lifestyles is creating a market for cafe-quality, decaffeinated RTD coffee that competes with traditional hot-shop offerings. - **Free-from and Low-calorie Coffee Formulations:** Products combining no added sugar, low fat and controlled calorie counts are redefining indulgence expectations for on-the-go coffee shoppers seeking health-forward alternatives. - **Resealable Convenience Packaging for On-the-go Consumption:** The adoption of resealable formats for chilled specialty drinks is enabling repeated, out-of-home consumption occasions and shifting packaging value toward portability and freshness preservation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Chilled Beverage Manufacturing:** Smaller-batch and flexible production capabilities are positioned to capture demand for niche formulations like certified decaf, low-calorie lattes and tailored ingredient sourcing. - **Retail Convenience and C-store Channels:** Convenience retailers are increasingly oriented toward stocking premium, health-conscious RTD coffees that serve daytime and evening consumption patterns without caffeine concerns. - **Sustainable Coffee Sourcing and Certification Services:** Demand for Rainforest Alliance and similar certifications is elevating opportunities for traceable, ethically sourced decaffeinated coffee streams that command premium positioning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairy-Free Decaf Ube Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ube-vanilla-latte.md) - [Dairy-Free Ready-to-Drink Iced Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-range.md) - [Seasonal Coffee Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-8.md) - [Canadian-Made Canned Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/second-cup-ready-to-drink-lattes.md) - [Canned Plant-Based Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatly-iced-coffees.md) - [Barista-Level Instant Decaf Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-instant-decaf.md) - [Velvety Ready-to-Sip Iced Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emmi-caff-latte-creamy.md) - [Ready-to-Drink Protein Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wandering-bear-cold-brew-lattes.md) - [Ready-to-Pour Cold Cafe Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-multiserve.md)
