Gourmet Coffee Warehouse, GCW, has recently opened a roasting and bottling facility in Las Vegas and is now offering a line of organic iced coffee in bottles under the label Lucky Jack.

The new 7,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, which is located near Nellis Air Force base, includes an industrial coffee roaster and brewing and bottling equipment capable of producing 5,000 bottles per day of organic iced coffee.

Lucky Jack Iced coffee is available in 10.5 ounce glass bottles and four varieties; Double Black with a double shot of organic espresso in each bottle, Sweet Thing sweetened with organic cane sugar, Lean Bean sweetened with organic stevia, and Old School for a traditional iced coffee flavor. All Lucky Jack iced coffees are made from 100% organic espresso beans and are nitrogenated so they develop a silky foam head when poured, similar to a Guinness beer.

GCW president, Richard Karno, who helped pioneer the organic coffee industry in Los Angeles with his company Groundwork, says Lucky Jack represents a technological leap for iced coffee products. “I believe Lucky Jack is the first iced coffee in bottles that when poured hard (turning the bottle vertical), activates the nitrogen foam and creates a silky smooth mouth feel and beautiful head of foam,” Karno said.

Lucky Jack is also differs from current iced coffees on the market in that each of the four varieties is infused with organic espresso. “The typical flavor profile for Toddy style iced coffee is a little flat,” Karno said. “We infuse our products with the organic espresso to lend a more complex taste, greater body and a little guts too.”

Lucky Jack is available in 24 count case quantities and has a shelf life of four months refrigerated. For further information contact GCW at 702-331-3888 or [email protected].
