The Two Chimps Coffee Nitrogen-Infused Cold Brew has been developed through a partnership with craft drinks brand Steep Soda as the brand's first launch of this kind that tackles the issues related to canned coffee quality. The beverage starts off with the brand's 100% specialty-grade Arabica coffee that's cold brewed before being infused with nitrogen and canned to deliver a rich, fresh taste and mouthfeel upon being enjoyed. This will accommodate a high-quality cafe experience from anywhere and comes in response to the common approach of ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee options that use lower-grade coffees, milk and sweeteners to mask unwanted tasting notes.
Co-Founder Andy Cross commented on the Two Chimps Coffee Nitrogen-Infused Cold Brew saying, "We didn’t want to launch just another canned coffee. We wanted to create something that speciality coffee drinkers would be excited about. Every decision started with the coffee itself – finding a bean that would still express its character when brewed cold. Working with the brilliant team at Steep Soda allowed us to create a ready-to-drink coffee that stays true to everything speciality coffee stands for.”
