UK beverage brand Rude Health has launched its new Barista Coconut alternative milk to add to its range of gluten-free, plant-based milks. The barista range consists of the new launch, Barista Coconut, as well as Barista Oat, Barista Almond and Barista Soya. The improved line now has "improved taste, creaminess, functionality and a lower RRP". Bertel Haugen, head of innovation at Rude Health, commented: "A quarter of Brits now have a high-quality at-home coffee machine and our new barista range allows shoppers to replicate their out-of-home coffee experience at home. Not only have we improved functionality, creaminess and taste, we’ve also adopted our usual no-compromise approach to ingredient quality and sourcing. All four new drinks are made with only natural ingredients, nothing artificial and we’ve used sustainably sourced ingredients including non-GMO European soya beans and Mediterranean almonds." The range, including newly released Barista Coconut, will be available in one-litre cartons for an RRP of £2 from May in Waitrose, Ocado and Amazon.
