Sweet stuff Sweetbird Ice-blended Smoothies are a must-have for any successful summer menu. Easy to make and full of taste, Sweetbird Original Smoothies come in 8 delicious flavours including tangy Lemon and melt-in-the-mouth Mango. We love to play with our drinks (but never our food, Mum would be cross) so have fun mixing and matching these smoothies with Zuma Frappés and Sweetbird Syrups. A bag of Zuma Yogurt Frappé immediately doubles your frozen drinks menu with very little effort. Did you know the medical name for brain freeze is Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia? A quick fix to relieve it is putting your tongue to the top of your mouth and pressing firmly. 7
Tout sweet Smoothies Sweetbird Naturally Sweetened Smoothies are our fruitiest smoothies ever, and the perfect option for the health conscious customer. These smoothies are just as delicious as the Original Sweetbird Smoothies with the added benefit of being sweetened with fruit extract and containing 2 of your 5-a-day, so healthier and even more fruit to boot! As with all Sweetbird Smoothies these are free from artificial colours, preservatives, GMO s, high fructose corn syrup and are approved for vegans and vegetarians. Add a scoop of Zuma Vanilla Bean Frappé to a Strawberry or Berry smoothie for a decadent and cream variation. 7
Fuss-free Frappés We love Zuma Frappé mixes. The 7 flavours are not only delicious on their own, they can be used with other products to make a huge range of drinks helping you stay ahead of the competition and develop your own signature recipe. This summer we are pleased to be introducing the new Cookies & Cream Zuma Frappé plus refill packs for both the Vanilla Bean and Caffé Frappés. These 1kg pouches can be used to top-up your tin, meaning less packaging better for the environment and better for your wallet. Add a splash of Sweetbird Syrup to any Frappé mix to create whole new drinks iced cherry mocha anyone?
The cookie crumbles Drum roll please! This summer sees the launch of a new, award-winning addition to the Zuma Frappé range: Cookies & Cream! For a little extra wow factor, turn this into a signature drink by crumbling a cookie on top and serving another on the side for an indulgent treat. The new frappé impressed judges at the SCAE World of Coffee in Nice, scooping the prize for Best New Product in the noncoffee beverage category. Made with real pieces of chocolate cookie, it s not hard to see why! Just blend with ice and milk for a seriously cool treat - and a sensational addition to any summer menu. As with all the other products in the Zuma range, the Cookies & Cream Frappé is free from artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, GMOs, high fructose corn syrup and has been approved by the Vegetarian Society. Each 2kg tin provides enough powder to make 50, 12oz servings. Also available in the Zuma Frappé range are: Vanilla Bean, Caffé, Chocolate, Mocha, Sticky Toffee and Yogurt. www.zuma-beverages.com

Add some flavour to your life Cherry, Oh Baby, Orange Crush, Lime in the Coconut, The Lemon Tree all great songs that we like to think were in some way an ode to the wonderful range of flavours of Sweetbird Syrups. Was Fats Domino thinking about Blinging Blueberry Granita when he penned the famous Blueberry Hill? Quite possibly. Did Prince, for fear of mocking, substitute the word latte for beret? We like to think so. Whatever the truth, this inspiring range will have you aching to try out new recipes to introduce to your menu even if your guitar playing isn t quite ready for its debut. Available in over 40 flavours, Sweetbird Syrups are approved for vegans and vegetarians and are free from all the things you wouldn t want in your syrups, or your tummy. 13
All coffee on the south-western front... Beyond the Bean may operate in over 40 countries but we are proud to be from Bristol and to see the emergence of a wonderful home-grown coffee quarter. Wandering though the old part of the city is a lovely way to spend a day, taking in the great cafés, coffee shops and espresso bars the city has to offer. We took a stroll around Corn Street and thoroughly recommend a visit to all of the businesses featured here. Much love to Small Street Espresso, Wild at Heart, The Birdcage and especially The Kitchen - who were kind enough to lend us their lovely premises for our photoshoot. Whether you are looking for brewing, speciality blends, or even some vintage clothing, you ll find it all in Bristol - come visit! The Zuma Fairtrade Hot Chocolate is amazing our customers are always asking us what make it is! Ben Silvey Development Manager, The Kitchen 9
Chocolate fix It s not all iced teas and smoothies in summer, sometimes only a soul warming hot chocolate will do. Try making up hot chocolate powder to a paste with hot water as per usual, but then use cold milk the ultimate chocolate milkshake extravaganza. Alternatively take advantage of summer strawberries by offering a punnet with a shot glass of Zuma Belgium Chocolate Flake ganache topped with whipped cream for dipping. Too much? We didn t think so either. Whether you prefer your chocolate dark, white, thick or thin, the Zuma range has a chocolate for you. Or, add some spice with Zuma Chai s. Great for an Indian summer, non? www.zuma-beverages.com
From beans to cups the Beyond the Bean story Now operating in over 40 countries, Beyond the Bean has come a long way since its humble beginnings of a few small coffee bars in Bristol. Founded in 1997, before long the home office supplying specialist barista equipment turned into a small warehouse filled with syrups, smoothies, hot chocolate and frappes - plus all the other great products Beyond the Bean is now famous for. Flash forward to 2013. Jem and Nikki still own, and love, the business they have built from scratch. They are supported by the fantastic team at BTB HQ in Bristol and Los Angeles a team full of knowledge and passion for the BTB range. And we re all looking forward to the next 15 years of the Beyond the Bean story. Another day of research for owner Jem.
