Kent, UK-based speciality coffee brand Lost Sheep Coffee has secured a major supply partnership with Meta UK, becoming the official iced coffee supplier to its London headquarters.
The deal marks a significant milestone for the independent brand, with its Iced Latte Coffee Cans now served to over 5,000 employees across Meta’s platforms – including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger – replacing Jimmy’s Iced Coffee within Meta offices.
The new supply deal will be managed via The To Go Group – a premium food and drink supplier for some of the world’s most recognised companies.
Each can of Lost Sheep Coffee is brewed using the brand’s signature ‘Get To The Hopper’ blend, crafted from 100% traceable Colombian and Brazilian Arabica beans, roasted in small batches at the company’s Whitstable site. Unlike many RTD offerings, Lost Sheep’s iced coffee is brewed using freshly ground beans, with no instant coffee used.
Speaking about the deal, Stuart Wilson, founder of Lost Sheep Coffee, said: “This partnership with The To Go Group and Meta is a huge moment for us”.
“As a small independent brand, we’ve worked hard to compete at the highest level. Our cans are brewed to deliver a genuine barista-quality experience, accessible, unpretentious and made with total traceability from farm to can.” He added.
Lost Sheep Iced Latte Coffee Cans are available online, retailing at £2.30 per 250ml can.
