Nespresso USA is launching its first line of honey products, made from the same coffee plants used for Nespresso coffee.
These new offerings, known as Nespresso Bloom, reflect the brand's shift toward regenerative agriculture practices.
The initial offerings in the range include Coffee Blossom Honey, which is a raw honey featuring a delicate floral flavour complemented by smooth caramel and vanilla notes. According to the company, this honey is ideal for enhancing the flavour of Nespresso coffee or for drizzling over foods like affogato, yogurt and whipped ricotta.
Meanwhile the Coffee Blossom Honey Syrup is a blend of the Coffee Blossom Honey with Nespresso coffee to create a syrup that adds a refined coffee flavour with velvety caramel and vanilla notes. Nespresso said that this syrup is designed to enhance a variety of recipes, including macchiatos, espresso martinis and waffles.
Alfonso Gonzalez Loeschen, CEO of Nespresso North America, said: "Supporting responsible practices in coffee farming has always been part of Nespresso's DNA, and this pilot is a result of how sustainability is fueling our innovation strategy. Our job is to protect the future of coffee while delivering a differentiated and superior coffee experience, which is what we know our customers are excited by. Nespresso Bloom is just that, as a first-of-its-kind offering for us."
The Nespresso Bloom products are available exclusively at Nespresso Boutiques in New York City and San Francisco. From 21 August, Coffee Blossom Honey and Coffee Blossom Honey Syrup will be available nationwide on via the brand's website. Due to the limited size of the first harvest, quantities are restricted.
