Paramount Coffee is expanding farm-direct cold brews with One Good Can of Coffee, an 11-ounce ready-to-drink beverage made from 100% Arabica coffee. Certified by OBIIS, the range is offered in Original Cold Brew, Mocha Cold Brew, and Caramel Cold Brew varieties. Paramount works with OBIIS to build direct relationships with coffee producers, including farm visits that examine labor, environmental, and community practices. This sourcing model reduces steps within the conventional coffee supply chain while creating greater visibility into where the beans originate.
The canned format pairs Paramount’s sourcing approach with convenience for consumers and retailers. Convenience stores can offer premium cold coffee without installing additional equipment or adding preparation work. The range also gives Paramount another entry into ready-to-drink coffee following Joe Knows Coffee Cold Brew. Online availability beginning in late October provides an additional channel for reaching consumers interested in convenient coffee with traceable sourcing.
