Coffee enthusiasts may be surprised by Nespresso's latest offering, but it showcases the company's commitment to environmentally friendly coffee production. In addition, it's just lovely.
Nespresso Bloom, a line of non-coffee products, was introduced on August 7. It includes a variety of honey that is made from the same flowers that go into making Nespresso Master Origins Colombia coffee capsules.
The newest product from Nespresso, Coffee Blossom Honey, has a flavor profile that is smooth and has subtle notes of vanilla and caramel. It is designed to complement their coffee offerings. You may use this honey as a topping for favorite breakfast foods like toast, cheese, and yogurt, or you can mix it into espresso and pour it over affogato. In addition, Nespresso is launching a Coffee Blossom Honey Syrup that mixes their famous coffee with this unique honey.
The new honey products developed by Nestlé's subsidiary, Nespresso, were developed at the company's accelerator, located in Lausanne, Switzerland. This plant is more evidence of Nespresso's commitment to switching to regenerative agriculture. In the same way that bees are necessary for the production of coffee cherries, honey is necessary for sustainability. However, conventional methods of growing coffee that depend on pesticides endanger bees and, consequently, the industry of coffee production.
Nespresso acknowledged in a press release that biodiversity and coffee farmers' livelihoods are seriously threatened by climate change. However, the business is committed to making sure that premium coffee plantations may thrive for upcoming generations. Nespresso has publicly committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 in order to accomplish this aim.
Nespresso and UBEES have been working together since 2020 to bring beehives and monitoring technologies to Nespresso's AAA farms in Colombia's Caldas-Antioquia region, which is tucked between the Andes Mountains. By using regenerative agricultural techniques and the efforts of beekeepers, this partnership encourages the natural pollination of coffee plants. Moreover, it gives farmers the opportunity to boost their earnings by creating coffee blossom honey, a byproduct derived from coffee trees.
There will only be a limited amount of Nespresso Bloom honey accessible to customers because of the modest size of the initial crop. These goods will only be available at the Nespresso Boutiques in New York City and San Francisco as of August 7.
