Create with us and grow your business

We love bringing new concepts and fresh ideas to life. Explore our portfolio where we can offer ingredients that are good for consumers and good for farmers. From ready-to-mix beverages to dairy alternative drinks, we bring expertise across cocoa, coffee, dairy, nuts and spices. 

Coffee

Wake up and smell the coffee. Thanks to our relationships with coffee farmers around the world, we can cater to a wide range of needs. Whether you're looking for large responsibly sourced volumes to niche coffee for the specialty market, we can help. 

Ready-to-drink

Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages are an important part of busy consumers’ daily routines around the world. Our ingredients can bring diverse flavor notes and creaminess while addressing common challenges like texture. Choose from our huge array of nut, dairy, cocoa and soluble coffee ingredients designed to suit regional tastes. 

Ready-to-mix

Achieving the right flavor, ingredient stability and shelf life for ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages is no easy task. Tap into ofi’s expertise and we can help you cater to the precise needs of your market. How about blending soluble coffee or cocoa with nut powder and a vegan creamer for a tasty, foamy 3-in-1 powder mix? 

Hot beverages

Smooth, flavorsome, satisfying. For a hot drink that does it all, look to our wide selection of ingredients, including soluble coffee, cocoa and spices. We offer consistent quality at scale for creating the best hot coffees, chocolates, lattes and spiced teas. 

Cold beverages

Easy on the eye, refreshing on the tongue. Our innovation experts can help you create cold beverages with the perfect color and flavor. Savory nut beverages or iced tea produced from coffee cascara – you name it, we can make it. 

Dairy alternative drinks

Plant-based beverages can be so much more than a dairy substitute – the buzz around innovation is reaching new highs. For example, our barista-grade nut beverages offer a well-rounded taste profile and are specially formulated for stability at high temperatures. For indulgence, look no further than our plant-based chocolate drinks.

Coffee, cocoa, dairy and nut ingredients are the foundation of the beverages category. Find out more about what we offer. From supporting sustainable sourcing to bringing out the best plant-based flavors, learn how ofi and our ingredients can make your next beverage innovation real.

A cup of single-origin coffee

High altitudes and its proximity to the equator make Zambia one of the best coffee growing regions in the world. Our Zambian estate puts a decade of experience into every bean. True connoisseurs can enjoy our 48-hour fermented coffee, offering an especially rich and complex flavor profile. 

Dairy-free coffee beverages

Enjoy a delicious, creamy cup of coffee with our foaming nut-based beverage. By carefully combining cashews and almonds, we can offer soft clouds of long-lasting foam – the perfect crown for a tasty brew. 

Golden turmeric milk

Golden milk has long been used in India as a comforting home remedy. It’s traditionally made with turmeric and other spices, such as cinnamon and ginger, or used to create lattes. Consider a twist with our indulgent almond and cashew beverages.

Plant-based chocolate milk

With our almond, cashew & hazelnut blend, chocolate milk can be a treat that’s both nutritious and delicious. Unlock the possibilities of an indulgent and plant-based chocolate drink that can taste just as sweet as dairy, but with less sugar.
