B Sweet Coffee and Tea started out as a café in Los Angeles, and has expanded its ready-to-drink line of nitro cold brew teas. The company debuted its Nitro Hibiscus Tea in March at Natural Products Expo West. This flavor adds to last year’s Nitro Cold Brew Matcha Green Tea.
They are riding the cold brew wave. “We knew other people would be doing cold brew, so we wanted to start playing with new things,” Co-founder and CEO Kurt Steinitz told BevNET.
In addition to the canned nitro teas, B Sweet Coffe and Tea sells Thai Tea and Nitrous Coffee Latte in kegs.
The 11-ounce canned teas currently retail for about $4.69, but Steinitz hopes as production and distribution increase, the price will decrease to about $3 dollars, according to BevNet.

Both flavors are available exclusively in Southern California at Gelson’s Markets and will soon be sold at more high-end grocery stores.
