LOS ANGELES – March 11, 2020 – Koia, 100% plant-based, naturally craveable, healthy and delicious beverages, is introducing Koia Coffee, entering a new category while building on the heritage of the brand’s expansive Protein and Keto lines. Koia Coffee presents consumers with an elevated way to start their day or recharge anytime with upgraded ingredients, including complete plant-based protein, C8 MCT oil, coconut milk and zero sugar. Koia Coffee is now available nationally at Whole Foods Market with new retailers to be announced in spring.
Koia Coffee gives consumers a nutritious, delicious and convenient plant-based option as an alternative to sugar-laden coffee and artificial energy drinks currently on the market, available in three flavors: Vanilla Latte, Mocha Latte and Salted Caramel. Staying true to the brand’s heritage of elevated ingredients, each 12 fluid ounce bottle has only 110 calories made with organic, fair trade coffee, infused with 9 grams of complete plant-based protein derived from a proprietary blend of brown rice, pea, and chickpea. The product contains 5 grams of C8 MCT oil, the highest quality MCT oil available, and coconut milk. Both deliver healthy fats that aid with cognitive enhancement, sharpened focus and sustained energy. With zero sugar content and 200 mg of caffeine from both coffee and green coffee bean extract, Koia Coffee is a delicious way to energize without the crash.
Koia was founded by Maya French, Dustin Baker and Chris Hunter. In 2014, after Maya developed a lactose intolerance and couldn't find a good plant-based shake available in the market, she and Dustin were determined to create their own. Koia was an overnight sensation, becoming the most productive protein brand in the natural channel in less than 18 months, and continues to be a leader and pioneer in the category.
“Koia Coffee is our latest achievement in bringing products to market that are delicious, nutritious and convenient, and raising the bar, this time in the elevated coffee space,” said Chris Hunter, co-founder and CEO of Koia. “We recognize the opportunity to serve people like us, who are looking for the best quality products to enhance their plant-based lifestyle.”
Koia Coffee joins existing lines Koia Protein and Koia Keto, all containing nine of the essential amino acids for a complete plant-based protein, while being Non-GMO Project verified, free of dairy, soy and gluten. Koia is available at several major retailers nationwide including Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Wegmans, Publix, H-E-B, Fred Meyer, The Fresh Market and online at DrinkKoia.com, Amazon Fresh, Peapod andJet.
