"Many mainstream [RTD](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-latte-pilot) Coffee brands use commercial quality coffee (with most using instant) which isn’t hitting the mark for the new, quality-led consumer who expects coffee shop quality," said Lost Sheep Coffee founder Stuart Wilson, “Our cans use specialty grade coffee beans, which are traceable from origin and freshly ground and brewed into our cans. They are the only RTD coffee cans on the market to offer 100% Coffee traceability from origin to can." While appealing to ingredient-conscious consumers, this [ready-to-drink iced latte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-latte) also meets the demand for lighter options, since it's prepared with skimmed milk and boasts less than 80 calories per can. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 37% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Transparency in Beverage Sourcing:** Brands offering transparency in sourcing, like traceable specialty coffees, can differentiate themselves in a crowded RTD market. - **Gourmet-grade RTD Beverages:** Elevating ready-to-drink products with specialty-grade ingredients meets consumer demand for high-quality, convenient experiences. - **Health-conscious RTD Options:** Providing low-calorie, health-oriented RTD beverages caters to the wellness-driven consumer market. ### Where This Applies - **Specialty Coffee Industry:** The trajectory of specialty coffee's popularity continues as consumers seek quality and origin traceability in their daily caffeine fix. - **Ready-to-drink Beverage Industry:** Innovation in RTD beverages is shaping consumer expectations by combining convenience with premium ingredient transparency. - **Health and Wellness Consumer Goods:** The integration of health-focused ingredients in beverages reflects the growing consumer shift towards mindful consumption. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Barista-Quality Canned Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-sheep-coffee-iced-drinks.md) - [Traceable Espresso Coffee Concentrates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-coffee-concentrates.md) - [Clean-Label Canned Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-canned-lattes.md) - [Velvety Ready-to-Sip Iced Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emmi-caff-latte-creamy.md) - [RTD Canned Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-latte-pilot.md) - [Canadian-Made Canned Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/second-cup-ready-to-drink-lattes.md) - [Ready-to-Drink Canned Coffee Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-coffee-lattes.md) - [Cafe-Quality RTD Oat Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-oat-lattes.md) - [Ready-to-Pour Iced Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nescaf-iced-latte.md)
