You can now get iced Jamaican coffee by the can, thanks to the Marley Beverage Company.
Marleys One Drop, a new ready-to-drink beverage, has been launched by the Marley Beverage Company, famous for the launch of Marleys Mellow Mood.
“Jamaican coffee is considered by many to be the world’s finest,” said Rohan Marley, coffee expert, businessman and son of reggae legend Bob Marley, in a statement. ““Our father was a farmer and an entrepreneur as well as a musician, and we’re pleased to deliver the fine taste of Jamaican coffee and our family’s heritage to people everywhere through Marley’s One Drop.””
Kevin McClafferty, president and CEO of Marley Beverages, said he was “thrilled” to bring the drink to the ready-to-drink beverage category, which is largely dominated by Starbucks.
“Marley’s One Drop is the natural alternative for the coffee connoisseur – and Bob Marley fan – in all of us,” he said.
The company said the beverage would be launched in three flavours: original coffee, mocha and vanilla light.
It will be distributed in the US in stores like 7-Eleven, Walmart and Circle K, among others.
