Upriver makes nitro cacao lattes that are conveniently packaged for on-the-go consumption in colorful, six-ounce cans. While many consumers are turning to canned coffee beverages for a grab-and-go boost, cacao offers a gentler kind of stimulation with more theobromine than caffeine—Upriver describes it as a "molecular cousin to caffeine."
Some of the nourishing nitro cacao beverages and lattes produced by the brand include Dark Wild and Strawberry Hibiscus, as well as Vanilla Cream and Chocolate Chai. The brand's Matcha Mama Nitro Cacao Latte is creamy and lightly sweetened with maple syrup, offering a mix of caffeine and theobromine that supports sustainable energy. Thanks to the fact that the drinks are made with a base of cold brew cacao, the cans can be disrupted to create a frothy pour.
