Rude Health launches ‘UK’s first’ vegan iced coffee made with only simple, organic ingredients

From veganfoodandliving.com

Rude Health coffee fans can now enjoy two new organic iced drinks with no added sugar, made from Arabica beans and plant-based milk blends.

Rude Health has launched what it claims to be the UK’s first “clean deck” iced coffee range, made using organic ingredients and free from added sugar, sweeteners and artificial additives.

The new products, Oat Latte Iced Coffee and Mocha Iced Coffee, are designed to offer a barista-style experience using cold-brew coffee and plant-based drinks.

Both drinks use Arabica beans grown on organic farms in Latin America. The beans are gently roasted and cold brewed, which the brand says gives the coffee a smooth, fruity flavour without bitterness.

The Oat Latte is made by blending cold brew coffee with Rude Health’s organic oat milk drink, while the Mocha combines coffee with organic oat and coconut drinks and sustainably sourced cacao. Both drinks are organic, gluten-free and non-UPF.

Sam Maguire, Country Manager, said the drinks reflect growing customer demand: “They have been increasingly popular in summer and winter, so we saw an opportunity to make them available to a bigger audience.”

New clean-label vegan iced coffees

Designed to be poured over ice or enjoyed straight from the fridge, the new iced coffees continue Rude Health’s focus on using straightforward, recognisable ingredients.

The Oat Latte is made without added sugar, relying instead on the natural sweetness of the oat drink. Meanwhile, the Mocha adds richness from organic cacao and coconut, aiming to offer a smooth, chocolatey alternative.

According to Head of Innovation & Sustainability Bertel Haugen, the choice of Arabica beans and the cold brew method are key to achieving the drinks’ flavour.

“We use only organic Arabica beans for their smooth, complex flavour,” he said, adding that the beans are grown on certified organic farms where biodiversity is protected.

Rude Health claims these are the only iced coffees on the UK market to be both organic and free from added sugar or sweeteners, and contain no thickeners or artificial ingredients.
