Coca-Cola evaluating OptiCEPT for extraction of cold brewed green tea.

We are excited to announce that today we signed an agreement with Coca-Cola Shanghai for a collaboration.

OptiCept signed an agreement with Coca-Cola Beverage Company Shanghai for a collaboration where Coca-Cola will evaluate the OptiCEPT® PEF system for juice extraction during the summer for extraction of cold brewed green tea.

 

Cold-brewed green tea is a growing product with great advantages over other beverages because it has a very high content of antioxidants and other nutrients. The process of brewing cold tea normally takes about 24 hours, but with OptiCEPT® this can be done in less than 1 hour.

 

When brewing tea cold, the antioxidants are not destroyed, it also becomes a softer taste. The product therefore fits very well into the growing segment “super foods”.

 

In China and Asia, Green Tea is more than often consumed cold. A custom that now has spread worldwide.
 
 
While all types of teas contain antioxidants, green tea is said to contain the highest amount.  And a cold-brew tea is much richer in health benefits than a hot-brewed.
 
 
Cold-brewed tea treated with Technologie PEF has fewer tannins (less bitterness) – meaning you get both a tastier and healthier drink, all at once!
 

“We keep a high pace in innovation and business development. The agreement with Coca-Cola is an important step in our business development and we are very pleased that Coca-Cola is interested in our technology. We are really looking forward to working with one of the world’s largest beverage companies, ” says Ulf Hagman, CEO.
