Iced coffee brewer Dare has launched a new range of sparkling black coffee with no sugar, no dairy and only 5 calories per serve. 

Made to provide a refreshing feeling, Dare Sparkling is produced using a blend of 100 per cent Colombian coffee beans which are cold brewed using purified and are then lightly carbonated. 

With almost half of the population drinking coffee as part of their weekly routine, Australia is a coffee loving nation, however beverage expectations after lunch time are changing said Dare. 

Dare senior brand manager Simone Formisano said their research indicated consumers are looking for something refreshing after lunch. 

“Dare Sparkling is the perfect afternoon pick me up for those wanting the refreshment of a soft drink, and a real coffee kick,” said Formisano. 

The sparkling cold brew range comes as a convenient option for looking for an innovative coffee carbonation method, available in Original and Vanilla flavours. 

The Dare Sparkling range is available in Coles, convenience outlets and independent retailers in the chilled drinks section for RRP $3.50.
