Nestle SA’s Nespresso USA business unit today introduced (in a very limited way) Nespresso Bloom, the brand's first honey products. In addition to being a fine way to sweeten your morning joe, the honey is harvested from the same coffee plants as some of Nespresso’s coffee, and it’s another step in Nespresso's commitment to transitioning to regenerative agriculture practices.
Coffee Blossom Honey is a raw honey “with delicate floral flavor and velvety, smooth, caramel and vanilla notes that perfectly complements Nespresso coffee,” today’s news release says. “Beyond beverages, Coffee Blossom Honey is perfect for drizzling on affogato, yogurt, whipped ricotta and more.”
Coffee Blossom Honey Syrup is a blend of Coffee Blossom Honey with Nespresso coffee. “It adds a refined coffee flavor with velvety, smooth, caramel and vanilla notes to macchiatos, espresso martinis and even waffles.”
The honey base in each is harvested from the same flowers as the coffee of the Nespresso Master Origins Colombia capsule.
They’re both products of the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality Program, part of Nespresso’s commitment to supporting farmers in transitioning to regenerative agriculture practices.
They were developed in partnership with the Nestlé R+D Accelerator in Lausanne, Switzerland, across the lake from world headquarters in Vevey. The accelerator helps entrepreneurs shape the future of food by integrating cutting-edge scientific discoveries and technological advancements with a consumer-centric approach.
For now, the products are only available in Nespresso Boutiques in New York City and San Francisco, but starting Aug. 21 they can be ordered on Nespresso.com. Only limited quantities of Honey Bloom products are available due to the first harvest's size.
