Key Highlights for the Indian consumer:
- Product Availability: Indian consumers can look forward to the same globally recognised L’amant Café brand name
- Coffee Varieties: Apart from organic, high-quality coffee in both bean and powder form, the brand also offers a unique blend of instant coffee combined with exotic tropical fruits from Vietnam such as coconut and durian.
Ms. Thai Minh Han, International Marketing of L’amant Café shared, “Our focus initially will be to introduce our organic coffee to the Indian consumers through our Indian partner. We will also be exploring online channels including Amazon and E-bay for distribution of our products. By the end of 2025, we plan to open our own branded café’s and stores.”
Mr. Shanmeet Wahan, Director, Rayanssh Impex, who has been in the food industry since the last 23 years has realised there is a huge potential for global brands like L’amant Café in India. Sharing his thoughts, Shanmeet said, “We are pleased to bring the globally renowned Vietnamese coffee brand L’amant Café to India. In the recent years, particularly over the past decade, there’s been a significant surge in the popularity of café-style coffee.
This newfound affection can largely be attributed to the growing café’ culture which has made people aware of different blends of coffee beverages.
Additionally, with more international travel experiences, Indians are now exposed to global palettes and this has increased the demand for global coffee brands locally. L’amant Café ready-to-drink coffee with its distinct flavours and blends will be readily accepted by our Indian coffee lovers.”
