Abstract
The present invention relates to a coffee beverage comprising a high yield coffee (HYC) infused with nitrogen thus producing a refreshing cold foamy and creamy beverage; wherein HYC represents liquid coffee having anhydrocarbohydrate content between 25 and 42% w/w.
Claims6
A process of preparing a beverage, wherein the process comprises the steps of:
- (i) extracting coffee solids from roasted and ground coffee beans comprising roast and ground (R&G) coffee solids, using water at a temperature between 100° C. and 200° C. to obtain a coffee extract which has an extraction yield above 25% based on the roast and ground (R&G) coffee solids;
- (ii) drying the coffee extract obtained from step (i) to a powder;
- (iii) reconstituting the powder obtained from step (ii) in liquid to form a liquid composition comprising the coffee extract;
- and
- (iv) infusing nitrogen gas into the liquid composition comprising the coffee extract, wherein the liquid composition infused with the nitrogen gas is the beverage and has a minimum of 1.3% of coffee solids by total weight of the beverage.
