KolaKao: Natural coffee alternative at Biofach 2025
Cocoa as a caffeinated alternative to coffee - that is the concept behind the products based on high-quality Criollo cocoa from Peru. In combination with cola nut from West Africa or guarana from Brazil, the result is a natural source of energy that increases focus and concentration, while being gentler and more tolerable than conventional coffee. The products are available in different varieties and offer a healthy, sustainable alternative for anyone who wants to avoid coffee.
Caffeine from kola nut and guarana - natural energy without side effects
The special feature of these coffee alternatives lies in the unique combination of Criollo cocoa and natural sources of caffeine. Kola nut in particular, which is harvested in Ghana and processed into a fine powder, plays a central role. With a caffeine content of between 43 and 47 percent in the stronger variants, it ensures long-lasting alertness without triggering the typical side effects of coffee such as a racing heart or nervousness. The alternative variant with guarana offers an equally gentle but effective way of supplying the body with natural caffeine.
Sustainable production and versatile preparation
All ingredients come from responsible production and the kola nut is imported in organic quality. The powders are suitable for various preparation methods - whether in hot water, oat milk or classic cow's milk. Unlike coffee, the powder cannot be used in an espresso machine, but is simply stirred into liquid. This ease of use makes the products particularly suitable for everyday use.
Strong presence in the organic trade and growing availability
As the largest importer of organic cola nuts in German-speaking countries, the company is already represented in numerous organic markets and health food stores. In Austria, the products are available from organic wholesalers, and negotiations are currently underway with other wholesalers for the German market. Anyone looking for a natural, wholesome alternative to coffee can find the products both in bricks-and-mortar stores and online stores.
