AUSTIN, TEXAS, March 6, 2017—The Kohana Coffee Company, creator of the world’s only shelf-stable cold brew coffee, invites Expo Westers of every stripe to savor a brand new kind coffee experience at the world premiere cocktail party for new Toasted Coconut Cold Brew Coffee concentrate, its latest coffee innovation.

Infused with rich multidimensional notes of organic toasted coconut that perfectly complement cold brew’s naturally sweet chocolate undertones, the new offering harkens back to the company’s Hawaiian roots and gives java aficionados a brand new way to enjoy the many pleasures of the world’s most exceptional coffee.

To give Kohana’s newest inspiration a fitting send-off into the world, U.S. Champion Barista Laila Ghambari will be creating three new Toasted Coconut Cold Brew Coffee drinks to thrill Expo West palates. Ghambari, chair of the Barista Guild of America and 2014 United States Barista Champion, will be taking a break from her duties as Director of Coffee at Seattle’s Cherry Street Coffee Company to serve her new masterpieces at Kohana’s "Get Toasted" Coffee Cocktail gathering on Saturday, March 11th from 2:00 - 4:00 pm at the Kohana Booth #H1914.

Guests can choose from Ghambari’s incredibleKohana Island Breeze, a never before tasted wonder of cardamom syrup and sweetened condensed milk; andher new Kohana Coconut Mudslide, avodka coconut coffee extravaganza topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and toasted coconut.

"Cold brewed coffee is a huge trend in coffee right now. It’s all anyone is talking about and drinking,” said Ghambari during a test kitchen break. “I love Kohana Cold Brew Concentrates because you can be your own barista at home, mixing them with whatever you want and making it taste just the way you like it. Toasted Coconut is a great new flavor I’m excited to share. It’s a sip of paradise.”
