Dark City Foundry launches sparkling coffee range

Boutique cold drip coffee producer Dark City Foundry has rolled out a sparkling coffee range in two flavours.

Dark City Foundry founder, Anita Brodian (pictured), said the drinks would delight dark chocolate lovers and coffee connoisseurs alike.

“We wanted to create something imaginative and different. These drinks are also milk free, low in sugar and full of lightly sparkling flavour,” Brodian said.

A 250ml can offers 150mg of caffeine and 19 calories per can. They feature a double shot of coffee with yuzu and caramel flavours.

While many small and independent retailers stick with tried and tested products to avoid the risk of failure, Dark City Foundry – has taken a risk in introducing new products, including a decaf cold drip coffee, the first and only commercial product of its kind in the Australian market. Brodian – one of our ISB 2022 Top 50 Small Business Leaders – is passionate about educating the public about her products’ benefits, rather than just marketing them, so customers can appreciate the product more.

“The aim is to humanise our brand and in turn make us approachable and knowledgeable in the coffee space,” she explains.

Dark City Foundry has made a conscious effort to be a sustainable business, with their coffee grounds either ending up in composting or being given away to their customers to use in their gardens.
