Brakes introduces Citavo range of hot beverages

Brakes has launched a range of hot beverages under Sysco’s new Citavo brand.

Working in partnership with Cafédirect, the range is led by a selection of premium roast and ground coffee beans. The blend of rich, full-bodied Fairtrade Arabica and Robusta beans is backed up by instant coffee available in both tins and sticks.

Complementing the coffee is a blend of golden tea. Featuring Kenyan tea for strength, Assam tea for body, and Rwandan tea for a zesty finish, the blend is said to deliver a strong, refreshing brew.

The range also includes hot chocolate options, from instant powders to pure cocoa.

Paul Nieduszynski, CEO of Sysco GB, said: “We understand how important hot drinks are and how outlets have to compete with the multitude of coffee shops that are on every high street. Our new range gives caterers a great tasting, reliable and competitively priced option that will allow them to offer a fantastic hot beverage solution that will drive incremental income.”

Following the initial launch, the range will extend to herbal teas, decaffeinated options and sugar sticks over the next year.
