Read article →Why Coffee
infused coffee creates advantages that many generic beverage concepts do not.
Coffee is already tied to a daily morning behavior pattern that ensures repeat sessions on a predictable basis. This means repeat purchases and built-in differentiation from your average THC beverage that may be more commonly consumed in the evening.
Infused coffee is an uplifting, cognitive-enhancing, and energizing experience that many people prefer over the sedating effects that commonly come with other THC-infused beverages.
Instead of looking like another generic THC beverage, infused coffee can help a new brand standout within the THC infused category.
A coffee-first brand can expand into, or begin as a format like a coffee and THC infused mushroom blend, functional mushroom and adaptogen drink, or spirits-style concepts.
Format Ideas
