What is Espresso Tonic?
An alcohol-free soft drink from the specialty-coffee scene: cold-brewed espresso (cold brew) meets sparkling tonic water. We make the cold brew ourselves from ground Mount Hagen organic espresso beans and combine it with a tonic component from herbal extracts – ready to drink in a 250 ml can.
What does Espresso Tonic taste like?
First comes the dry, sparkling freshness of the tonic with herbal bitters, citrus and lively carbonation. Beneath it sits the cold brew from organic espresso beans, round and full, never burnt-bitter and never a milky latte. The result is bright, sparkling and grown-up in its dryness – no sugar rush like an energy drink and nothing milky like an iced coffee, best served ice-cold.
Does Espresso Tonic contain alcohol?
No. Espresso Tonic is alcohol-free – a refreshing alternative to energy drinks and iced coffee.
Is Espresso Tonic organic?
Yes. Espresso Tonic is EU organic certified (organic control body DE-ÖKO-006). The espresso comes from organic espresso beans by Mount Hagen.
Is there a caffeine-free Espresso Tonic?
Yes. There are two varieties: with natural caffeine (straight from the espresso bean) and decaffeinated, from decaffeinated Mount Hagen organic espresso beans.
How much caffeine is in Espresso Tonic?
Around 40 mg per can – the caffeine comes straight from the ground Mount Hagen organic espresso, roughly like an espresso and far less than an energy drink. The decaffeinated variety contains virtually none. You'll find the exact figure on the can.
How many calories does Espresso Tonic have?
33 kcal per 100 ml – that's around 83 kcal per 250 ml can. Pleasantly light and refreshing.
Does Espresso Tonic contain sugar?
Yes, a little organic cane sugar – but far less sweet than an energy drink. No sugar rush: Espresso Tonic tastes dry and grown-up, not sticky-sweet.
What's the difference between Espresso Tonic and an energy drink?
