Dairy-free creamers support growing at-home coffee trends
Califia Farms, Los Angeles, is announcing two new additions to its best-selling line of Barista Blends: Mushroom Oat Barista Blend and Hemp Barista Blend. The new barista-tested plant milks double as creamers and offer even more variety to the morning coffee ritual while delivering on functional ingredients, the company says.
Citing a survey conducted by OnePoll for Califia Farms in January 2021 with a sample of 2,000 Americans who drink coffee, Califia Farms notes that functional ingredients was named the most important quality in plant-based alternative milks and creamers by one in five coffee drinkers. The survey also revealed that consumers' appetite for coffee experimentation has grown in the past year, with 42 percent of coffee drinkers recreating their favorite coffee drinks at home and one in three trying their hand at creating latte art during the pandemic.
