25/07/08 JavaFit is at it again! The company that brought you great tasting gourmet brewed coffee that promotes wellness is launching a full line of functional, ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee beverages that will provide the same healthy benefits. The great tasting JavaFit Lattes, will hit the U.S. market in the fourth quarter, 2008. The proprietary line of functional, serve chilled, latte RTDs is the product of collaboration between Javalution Coffee Company and Insight Beverages. JavaFit Lattes will be distributed in select regions and made available in convenience stores and select retail channels. Nationwide distribution is expected by the conclusion of 2009.

Early responses from taste tests have been very positive and phenomenally consistent. The deliciously creamy, no-sugar added functional coffee drinks won the praise and adoration of consumers asking for a decadent, refreshing cold coffee drink with benefits. Whether to benefit an active lifestyle, improved health and wellness or assist with weight management goals, consumers will have the opportunity to choose from four yummy concoctions to suit their needs: JavaFit Extreme Latte, fortified with green tea extract; JavaFit Diet Latte, fortified with Advantra Z; and JavaFit Focus Latte, fortified with Alpha GPC and multivitamins; and JavaFit Immune Latte, fortified with Echinacea and multivitamins.

But if great taste and proven benefits isn’t enough, the rich smooth liquid will appear on shelves in a high-gloss metallic, sustainable Tetra Pak package. The look is sleek, bold and modern and amplifies the position that the JavaFit brand is a force to reckon with in the increasingly popular, booming, functional coffee category.
