Cold Brew Coffee Lab: A bold & standout mission

Cold Brew Coffee Lab (CBCL) is a brand concept for a cold brew coffee product designed to cut through the overcrowded cold brew market and offer something genuinely distinctive. The aim was to create a visual identity and packaging design that communicates the innovation, and bold spirit of the product, while appealing to coffee lovers seeking new and exciting flavours.

Finding flavour territory

Through research into the cold brew market, we identified a clear opportunity: consumers were seeking bold, innovative flavours, but most available options leaned minimalist and understated. This insight became the foundation of the CBCL concept — a brand positioned to stand out, highlight exciting flavour profiles, and appeal to an adventurous, discerning audience.
