NEW YORK and DENVER, Sept. 25,
2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparkling Drink Systems International
(SDS), the Drinking Experience Company specializing in beverages
and at-home carbonation products, has signed a Letter of Intent
with Marley Coffee (OTCQB: JAMN), the sustainably grown, ethically
farmed and artisan-roasted gourmet coffee company, to create a
strategic partnership to produce a range of Marley Coffee-branded
coffee pods for use with SDS's ViBEration system.
Together SDS and Marley Coffee will launch a global line of hot,
iced, milk and water- based coffee pods codeveloped exclusively for
use with ViBEration, SDS's new generation of at-home carbonation
appliances and portable beverage products that use a patented
powdered technology to deliver fizz, flavor and functional benefits
all in one pod, in two steps -- insert pod and push to pierce --
and with no CO2 cylinder.
Serge Bueno, SDS's Founder and
Executive Chairman, said, "Sales of ready-to-drink coffee are
growing as consumers seek to enjoy the coffeehouse experience at
home and on-the-go. Our new coffee pods, which can be enjoyed hot,
iced, with milk or with water, are the perfect 'freshly made'
alternative, filling the gap between freshly brewed, current
capsule coffees and off-the-shelf products. Marley Coffee boasts
established distribution, especially in the U.S., where the brand
performs well in our key retailers, and enjoys high brand
recognition. We are thrilled they will be partnering with us to
offer ViBEration customers great-tasting branded coffee."
Rohan Marley, Founder and
Chairman of Marley Coffee, said, "We constantly seek new
opportunities to expand the Marley Coffee brand across new
platforms and to new segments. SDS, with its global presence, is
the perfect partner to help take Marley Coffee truly worldwide. The
ViBEration Twist & Vibe product range will allow us to
capitalize on the high-growth on-the-go coffee market, an exciting
move forward for the brand."
Brent Toevs, CEO of Marley
Coffee, said, "We believe the new partnership between Marley Coffee
and SDS will not only expand our customers' options when it comes
to enjoying their favorite coffee blends, but also demonstrate how
cutting-edge technology goes hand-in-hand with this age-old
refreshment option. Together, we are leading the way forward to a
new and exciting chapter for coffee lovers everywhere."
The Marley Coffee/ViBEration co-branded coffee pod range,
available in the U.S. in early 2015, is expected to include
bestselling flavors such as "Get Up, Stand Up," "Lively Up!" and
"One Love" as well as flavors
exclusive to the ViBEration range. The partnership comes timed on
the heels of SDS's unveiling of the ViBEration 350, a new appliance
targeting the global beverage market and home beverage system
market. SDS's new system promises the consumer the ability to
create unique beverages, not only Marley Coffees but also any kind
of drink, whether hot, cold, sparkling or still, without the use of
a CO2 cylinder.
