Most coffee proteins don’t fail because they’re missing coffee flavour.

They fail because coffee is ridiculously difficult to replicate.

Real coffee contains hundreds of flavour compounds, natural bitterness, roasted notes, acidity, sweetness, and a creamy mouthfeel that usually comes from milk fat. Strip all of that away and you’re left with the challenge most protein brands face: how do you make something taste like an actual iced latte without drowning it in sweetener?

When we started developing Iced Caffelatte, we became a little obsessed with that question.

Months of testing. Countless flavour tweaks. More rejected prototypes than we’d care to admit.

The goal wasn’t to make a coffee-flavoured protein.

It was to make a protein that tastes like coffee.

- Caramelised espresso notes
- Creamy iced latte mouthfeel
- Balanced bitterness
- No artificial sweetener aftertaste

Will It Protein? Ep.3 Coffee Edition ☕️

To be honest, I don’t think many coffee proteins taste much like coffee.

And before that sounds like I’m having a dig at other brands, I’ll be the first person to put my hand up and admit that I honestly felt the same way about our previous Iced Coffee WPI.

As we were developing our Signature Protein Iced Caffè Latte flavour, we spent a lot of time speaking with coffee professionals and flavourists to understand what we were missing.

One thing that became pretty obvious is that making something (that isn’t inherently coffee) taste like coffee isn’t just about adding more coffee.

A good coffee powder/extract definitely helps, but what really makes the difference is recreating all of the other notes that come with drinking a coffee. The roasted notes, the slight bitterness and astringency, and the caramelised milk notes all play a part in how we perceive the flavour.

The interesting part is that once you start focusing on those things, you can create something that tastes more like coffee without necessarily adding more coffee itself.

That was a big learning for us, and it’s a large part of why I feel pretty good about where we landed with our Signature Iced Caffè Latte.

The more you know, right? 💫

It also changed the way we think about flavour development more broadly. We realised just how much of a difference flavour layering can make, and we’ve already taken what we learned from this project and applied it to improvements in our WPI Iced Coffee flavour ☺️

TARO MILK WPI is here… and it’s almost sold out already (lol, sorry).

Signature Protein Taro is up next, but right now TARO MILK WPI has come out swinging. The feedback on the flavour so far has honestly been unreal. TYSM if you bought it upon launch!

Which flavour should we make next? 👀

FYI, I am fully aware I’m holding a purple sweet potato and not actual taro. My grocery store didn’t have any, so I had to improvise somehow 😂

Anyway, this a very condensed summary of the process we went through to turn this flavour from concept into reality. As much as I wish it only took 1 minute and 34 seconds (lol), it was actually a very long process of iteration. To the effect of 6 months, actually.

We tested so many references and worked through countless formulations before finally landing on the one.

The flavour references we ultimately chose were a combination of taro milk from a very popular brand that we definitely can’t name because we enjoy not being sued, paired with a thick taro syrup that’s commonly used in milk tea bases.

When we combined the things we loved most about both, we landed on a lightly vanilla milk base complemented by that characteristic taro starchiness.

To our fellow taro lovers… we genuinely think you’re going to love this one 🤝🫶🏼

Not too long now until the new flavour drops… who’s ready? 👀

NGL, the second slide kinda reminds me of cubes of wagyu beef 😭 (don’t worry, it’s not wagyu milk).
