We therefore took on the challenge of establishing a new canned coffee standard by creating a novel flavor that would appeal to canned coffee consumers in the high-volume youth segment. Challenge 2 Bringing Out Coffee's Unique UMAMI To bring out the unique flavor of the raw ingredients, we chose to use the coffee fruit in addition to the coffee bean, thereby combining the richness of the coffee beans with the mild sweetness of the coffee cherries. With this new flavor we have brought the unique "UMAMI" of coffee to the fore. We are revolutionizing canned coffee with a new "UMAMI" taste sensation With UMAMI Blend, we are bringing out the most from coffee as a raw ingredient and presenting it in a way that has never been done before. Creating this new taste sensation in coffee has been our challenge. This value could not have been generated by anyone but DyDo DRINCO with its 40-plus years of sustained experience in the field of coffee. We will continue aiming to revolutionize canned coffee and break new ground so that our customers know that DyDo Blend is always working to bring them novel and delicious flavors and enjoyment.
