This year’s Great Taste Awards had a staggering 4873 products enter with a handful meeting the high standards required for winning gold – and two of those were from Beyond the Bean!
Zuma Fairtrade Caffé Frappe has a history of firsts; it was the first frappe on the market to be certified by the Vegetarian Society, the first frappe in the world to be certified by the Fairtrade Foundation and has now become the first frappe mix to win gold at the Great Taste Awards. The subtle mix of Fairtrade coffee and cocoa from San Domingo with Fairtrade sugar from Paraguay, results in a thick, smooth and delicious frappe every time.
Zuma Spiced Chai has also been awarded a coveted Gold at the Great Taste Awards. With a strong influence from India and packed with exotic flavours such as ginger, cinnamon and cloves along with a rich creamy flavour that works well with the aromatic spices and black tea.
You can now get your hands on this award winning (we’re very happy about that you know) chai at a very special price. Buy two flavours from those listed below, and you’ll get the third flavour free – when you order, ask for some of our lovely new Zuma Chai and Chocolate table toppers to help spread the chai love!
More gold for BTB?
With two products already gained awards this year, could we scoop two further awards in October?
The Vegetarian Society awards are hosted with the intention of highlighting products that are increasing the options for the UK’s growing vegetarian population. The 15,000 members of the Vegetarian Society were asked to choose their favourite products from a range of categories and the five top scorers for each then go on to a final panel taste test.
This year, two products from Beyond the Bean have been chosen by Vegetarian Society members and are now in with a chance of winning. In the ‘Best VegSoc Approved Snack/Confectionary’ section, Byron Bay Triple Choc Fudge Cookie is a strong contender, while in the ‘Best VegSoc Approved Drink’ section, Sweetbird Mango & Orange Fruit Smoothie is up against a mixed bunch including Grolsch larger, Marble Brewery Beers, McDonald’s Milkshakes and George Batemen & Son Beers!
The Vegetarian Society awards have been running since 2001 and past winners include Quorn, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Green & Black’s and Pizza Express. This year, the winners from each of the 10 categories will be announced at a gala event at The Magic Circle Headquarters in London on Thursday 29th October 2009.
