Customization. If you think people are too crazy with their Starbucks order, come to Taiwan and try to order a bubble tea🧋. You can customize: - the level of your sugar - the types of your surgar - the level of your ice - the types of your milk or substitutes - the level of your milk or substitutes - options of bubbles or other fillings - the types of your tea, or a combination of teas (pre-set or your choice) - the types of tea that are good for your health (different teas for different conditions) - the types of tea that fit with your mood (different tea go with different mood) I can go on. It is not recommended, but because of the level of customization, people can have bubble teas 3-5 times a day. Geez even different occasions to have different orders. Taiwan is the most critical market for bubble tea. Apparently, if you can survive in Taiwan, many investors will come to you and talk about overseas franchising. #taiwan #travel #bubbletea

First orange 🍊 juice prices went up, then cocoa 🍫 prices went up and now coffee ☕️ prices are heading northwards as well 💸 💵 💲. The price of coffee ☕️ is set to rise from its current record high as climate 🌞 🌧 change, shipping 🚢 disruptions and new EU regulations drive up costs for roasters, Italian coffee giant Lavazza has warned. London robusta futures, the global benchmark, reached a high of $4,844 per tonne on Tuesday, having soared about 70 per cent over the past year due to poor harvests in the world’s main growing countries in south-east Asia. However, Giuseppe Lavazza chair of Lavazza Group, which owns Lavazza coffee, said the price of coffee on UK supermarket shelves, which is already up by around 15 per cent this year, could rise close to another 10 per cent from here by next year. “Coffee prices are not going to go down, [they’re] going to stay very high,” he said “The coffee supply chain is dramatically under pressure.” Coffee roasters such as Lavazza have been forced to put up prices and reduce profit margins as the cost of the raw material has surged, said Lavazza, who is the fourth generation to head the Turin-based coffee group. He said the industry was accustomed to dealing with fluctuating prices of higher-end arabica beans — arabica futures in New York are at their highest level since September 2022. But he added that the recent spike in cheaper robusta was unprecedented and causing more problems for the industry. #coffee #supplychain #climate #espresso #latte #beverages #lavazza #starbucks #barista #orangejuice #inflation Erlon Pereira Marc LEJEUNE Breda Kelly Tiphaine BEAU Ciara Brickley PhD Carol Dunne Gwyneth Kelly Michel Aubanel Sheelagh Pentony Daniel S.

#Nestlé’s high-end coffee brand #ROASTELIER opened its first Chinese flagship store in #Shanghai, signifying Nestlé’s participation in China’s freshly-ground coffee market. ☕ In recent years, although #instant #coffee still dominates the Chinese coffee market, the market share of this category is continuously ⤵ dropping. In contrast, the #freshly-#ground #coffee market continues to develop ⤴ during the same period. According to iResearch, the market share difference between these two categories has narrowed from 54% to 10.4% from 2018 to 2022. Therefore, currently, 📍 freshly-ground coffee is a potential category for coffee enterprises to explore.

☕️ Colombia's coffee industry has been brewing for a century, but its success story is only getting started! Read on ↓ In 1927, the National Federation of Colombian Coffee Growers (NFCGC) was established to promote the production and exportation of Colombian coffee. The timing was unfortunate, to say the least: two years later, the collapse of the NYSE sent prices spiraling for worldwide commodities like coffee. In the following decades, the federation faced an uphill battle, working tenaciously to provide technical support and professional guidance to its members. By 1957, despite years of arduous work and noteworthy progress, Colombian coffee wasn't considered a premium product. So the federation conjured up the most potent tool to bring a product to the masses: a compelling story. The following year, sporting sandals and a faithful donkey, Juan Valdez Café's character was born. He represented the small farmers of Colombia's mountains, ready to prove to the world that their country's coffee was the best there was. The Juan Valdez brand is now known the world over and is a textbook example of a successful marketing campaign. Over six decades after Juan was created, the NFCGC represents over half a million producers across the nation and has carried the brand to new heights through the company Prolafecol S.A. In 2000, driven by the coffee shop culture massively spread by global brands such as Starbucks, Juan Valdez bet on its first public store in the country’s main international entry point, Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport. The company's expansion since then has been remarkable. Because of Juan Valdez Café, Colombia is one of those few markets (like Italy) where Starbucks is not the dominant coffee shop chain. Today there are roughly 10x more JV locations than Starbucks in the country. Counting its international presence, there are nearly 600 coffee shops and over 90K distribution points (supermarkets, restaurants, airlines, and hotels) across more than 28 countries worldwide. Local JV shops in Colombia have become the core of the business, bringing in more than half of the revenue for Juan Valdez in 2023. And clearly business has been quite good, given the nearly $20M in operating profit seen last year. Evidently, Juan and his burro are not slowing down. International sales have grown to nearly $50M, while locations in Colombia itself more than double that figure. A century after its origins, Colombia’s coffee industry has successfully shown the world its product’s quality.

Chinese coffee consumption has topped the charts leading to cut-throat competition between local and foreign coffee chains that have opened thousands of branded shops in recent months and surpassed the number of coffee stores in the United States. With a staggering 58% surge in the last year alone, China has become the favourite hub for coffee enthusiasts, led by brands like Luckin Coffee, Cotti Coffee, and Starbucks. This higher appetite for coffee mirrors a market thirsty for more exploration and innovation. It will be interesting to see how the global response to it. #coffee #sustainability #innovation

#Colombian #coffee enjoys of a #highquality #reputation being US & Canada the main markets for brands e.g. Juan Valdez Café. Until recently, only sold to coffee roasters and independent coffee actors and coffee chains. Now, this premium brand is moving to retail to experience mass growth! We have seen also leading roasters such as Lavazza Group launching the premium brand #1895 to not only develop HoReCa & BaPa channels seeking premium quality but also diversifying far and beyond. This is a clear sign that brands need to adapt, evolve and ever strive to remain desirable to key channels & customer segments.
