A hot drink without caffeine or cocoa
Between coffee, tea and drinking chocolate the shelf lacks a creamy alternative without caffeine. The pine nut drink fills exactly that gap: for the afternoon, the evening and for guests who do not drink coffee.

Creamy hot drink
with pine nuts.
The first hot drink powder made from 51% ground pine nuts: creamy like a latte, caffeine-free like cocoa, ready in two minutes with water or milk. Two varieties for the coffee aisle, delicatessen and HoReCa: Plain, and Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and turmeric.

Why list it now
The next nut in the cup.
Pistachio and macadamia have shown how quickly a premium nut moves from niche to menu standard. Pine nuts bring the same creaminess, a distinctive resinous aroma and a story that tells itself on the shelf.
51% pine nuts, four ingredients
The Plain variety consists of ground pine nuts, starch syrup, coconut oil and milk protein. No flavourings, no colourings, no added crystal sugar: 6 g of sugar per 100 g of powder, about 1.5 g per cup.
Water or milk, no machine
Stirred in the cup, in a thermos flask or in a French press. No portafilter, no frother required. One pouch makes about ten cups and reseals with a zipper.

Tradition
Four regions, one nut, 4,000 years.
Pine nuts were never a commodity. They are harvested by hand from cones that take three years to ripen, and they counted as a treasure wherever pines grow. Drinks and porridges made from ground kernels belong to everyday and festive cooking in several cultures.
Mediterranean · antiquity
The delicacy of antiquity
Pine nuts have been used in the eastern Mediterranean for some 4,000 years. The Roman cookbook author Apicius recommended them with fish, poultry and sauces; the legions carried them as far as Germania. The pine cone crowned the staff of Dionysus.
Siberia · taiga and Altai
Cedar milk against the winter
The kernels of the Siberian pine are gathered in the wild. Crushed kernels and water make cedar milk, the traditional fortifying drink of the taiga. The tree is held in almost cult-like esteem there.
Korea · royal court
Jatjuk, the dish for guests
Finely ground pine nuts cooked with rice into a creamy porridge: jatjuk was served at the Korean royal court and is still offered to convalescents and guests of honour. Pine nuts are among Korea's most expensive ingredients.
New Mexico · Pueblo
Piñon in the cup
The Pueblo peoples have gathered piñon nuts for generations. When coffee ran short in the Second World War, roasted piñon became the substitute. Today piñon coffee is the state's signature drink and the piñon pine its state tree.
From tradition to shelf
M97 Factory puts the idea in a pouch.
What is made with a mortar in Siberia and a stone pot in Korea, M97 Factory delivers ready-ground: 51% pine nuts, creamy in two minutes, caffeine-free, with or without spices. For retailers that means a story that tells itself on the shelf.
Two varieties
Plain all year round, Spiced for the cold season.
Both varieties share the base of 51% pine nuts. The Spiced variety adds cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves and turmeric and positions itself alongside chai and winter drinks. Switch between front and back of pack.

Preparation
Four steps, two minutes of work.
The preparation as printed on the label, the way staff in food service and customers at home follow it. Only the temperature matters: hot, but not boiling.
3–5 tsp
Measure the powder
About 22 to 25 g per cup into the cup, flask or French press.
200 ml
Water or milk
Hot, 80 to 90 °C, not boiling. Milk makes the drink fuller, water lighter.
Stir
Stir well
Until the powder is evenly creamy. For foam, use a milk frother briefly.
3–5 min
Let it steep
The aroma develops in the first minutes. Use a thermos flask for maximum intensity.
The Spiced variety in the glass
Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, turmeric.
The Spiced variety hits the taste of chai and winter menus but needs no tea. Frothed in oat or whole milk it makes a premium-priced drink that is also ordered in the evening. Ideal from October to February, for Christmas markets, hotel lobbies and winter gardens.
Serving suggestions for HoReCa
Three menu positions from one pouch.
One powder, one step, three drinks with a premium price point. None need an espresso machine, all are caffeine-free and sell until closing time. To avoid residue, prepare the base in a French press.
