Boutique coffee roasting company The Blessed Bean believes men and women have different tastes when it comes to coffee, and it has created two new blends with this in mind.

Men prefer a more bitter brew, it says, and to this end the company has created the masculine ‘Hombre’ blend, with deep chocolate and hazelnut flavours and hints of tobacco.

Women seem to prefer sweeter blends, the company says, so it has based its ‘Senorita’ product, which has ripe fruit characteristics, on this premise.

These are being sold at selected outlets and online at theblessedbean.com.au.

The blends come in 250g, 500g and 1kg packs which retail for $14, $26
and $45 respectively.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
