Inspired by the growing popularity of canned coffee in North America, Second Cup teamed up with Labatt Breweries of Canada and Station Agro-Biotech to launch ready-to-drink lattes in three flavors: Latte, Mocha, and Salted Caramel. These gluten-free, preservative-free, premium canned coffee products provide 90 milligrams of caffeine per can and offer not only a convenient way to reenergize but also serve as a local alternative to major American brands—especially since they're crafted with Canadian cow’s milk.
This new trio of canned cold brew lattes in cafe-inspired varieties can now be found at participating retailers across Québec, appealing to people who want to refuel at school, the office, while traveling, or even at home when a craving for a creamy, caffeinated beverage strikes.
