Corporate Essentials is excited to introduce EvyTea as our exclusive Cold Brew Tea on Tap partner. EvyTea joins our own Essential Coffee Company Cold Brew Coffee, Wandering Bear Cold Brew Coffee, Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee and GT’s Kombucha as part of our “On Tap” offering. What is Cold Brew Tea? Cold brew tea is created using nearly the same exact process as cold brew coffee, but uses tea leaves instead. It takes hours to extract the tea’s richness, and produce a much smoother, naturally sweet taste. Unlike most iced teas, cold brew tea is very fragrant, creating a more complex, more flavorful tea-drinking experience. Cold brewing produces a lighter-bodied tea with less astringency and bitterness, as this method draws out fewer tannic compounds. EvyTea is one of the very first cold brew tea brands to hit the market, and the first available from Corporate Essentials. EvyTea Cold Brew Tea is

Corporate Essentials is excited to announce the addition of GT’s Kombucha to our “on tap” line up. GT’s Gingerade Kombucha joins our Essential Coffee Company Gotham Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, Wandering Bear Cold Brew Coffee, Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee and Evy’s Cold Brew Teas in our list of kegged offerings. GT’s describes their Gingerade Kombucha as two of nature’s superheroes joining forces with the healing power of GT’s Kombucha being balanced out by the cleansing abilities of fresh-pressed ginger juice. According to The Truth About Kombucha on WebMD, Kombucha is often referred to as mushroom tea, kombucha is not made from mushrooms, but the bacteria and yeast that grow on top of the beverage result in a blob that resembles a mushroom. It is made by adding the bacteria and yeast to sugar and black or green tea and allowing the brew to ferment. At first taste, kombucha tea

For thousands of years, monks have consumed tea for the “mindful alertness” to help them stay awake and calm during long hours of meditation, and hunter-gatherer tribes throughout the Amazon have used tea to maintain focus and mental clarity while on the hunt. What ancient wisdom has recognized is now being verified by modern science — tea’s unique combination of caffeine and L-Theanine makes this caffeinated beverage the smarter and healthier choice for enhancing productivity in our modern, fast-paced society. What is CogniTea?                     CogniTea is an organic, energizing tea that promotes mental clarity and focus without the typical jitters, headache or crash.  CogniTea is made with 100 mg of L-Theanine, an amino acid extracted from Green tea, and 90mg of natural caffeine, which works synergistically to promote concentration, alertness and focus and inhibit the negative side effects of caffeine alone. What can L-Theanine and caffeine do for you? Promote a mindful state of relaxation without sedation.

The World Health Organization recently announced that cured and processed meats like bacon, sausage, hot dogs and ham cause cancer, adding the foods to a top-tier list of carcinogenic substances that includes alcohol, cigarettes, asbestos, and arsenic. They’ve determined that processed meats can be bundled with these threatening carcinogens because of their link with bowel cancer, according to a report from WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, though their inclusion doesn’t mean that bacon causes cancer at the same rate as, say, smoking. With so many of our clients focused on trying to offer healthy snack and beverage options to their team members, we decided to look at products that we currently offer that fell into any of these categories, and to begin to explore healthier alternatives to them. That’s why we have decided to now offer Waterhill Naturals full line of premium quality, all-natural, antibiotic-free, sliced deli meats.

It seems nearly impossible to go anywhere in New York City and New Jersey this Summer without seeing cold brew coffee. And for a long time, there were only two ways to get cold brew coffee in your office. One, you could install a Cold Brew Javarator and offer your team cold brew coffee on tap; but unless you were a larger office with a lot of space, cold brew on tap might not make a lot of sense. Two, you could get glass growlers of cold brew coffee delivered to your office – a reasonable solution for many smaller offices, but freshness of the coffee in growlers always presents a problem. With those factors in mind, Corporate Essentials is excited to announce a partnership with Wandering Bear Coffee Company to provide their cold-brew-in-a-box coffee to NYC and NJ offices. If Wandering Bear Coffee Company’s box of coffee looks familiar,

In recent years, we’ve added a lot of very unique products to our offering at Corporate Essentials; and when introducing some of these products to offices in New York City and New Jersey, there was plenty of explaining necessary – honestly, we’re still trying to explain to people exactly what is the correct way to eat a Rip van Wafel. But with our newest product from Coconut Cartel, there is no explanation necessary; except maybe how to get out the fresh coconut water inside. Sure we’re still delivering great coconut waters from Harmless Harvest, Coco Libre, VitaCoco and more; but Coconut Cartel Coconut Water is different because it is drank through a straw, right from the coconut. If there has ever been a drink that will be the talk of your NYC or NJ office, it’s this one from Coconut Cartel. Coconut Cartel will only be available at Corporate Essentials

About 18 months ago, Corporate Essentials made a serious effort to take our coffee offerings to the next level. We focused heavily on building relationships with only the best local coffee roasters in the New York City area. With Irving Farm and Cafe Grumpy leading the way, we began offering the highest level of locally roasted, responsibly sourced coffee available from any office refreshment service. Since rolling out our Essential Coffee Company, premium offerings with Irving Farm and Cafe Grumpy, we have also added other partners in our market like Joe New York; but when dealing with companies with offices in other parts of the country, one name kept coming up – Counter Culture. Corporate Essentials is proud to announce that starting this June, we will add Counter Culture’s six (6) year-round offerings to our Essential Coffee Company lineup. In addition to Counter Culture’s premium coffee, because they are now

On a recent episode of Fox Business, CEO Brent Toevs took to the air to discuss the new eco-friendly design and why this is the next step in the world of single-serve coffee. As Toevs explained, roughly 10 billion K-Cups end up in landfills around the world, and their lack of recyclability makes them a hazard to the environment. These pods are not biodegradable, and will likely sit in landfills for years and years before finally decomposing. This produces enough waste

Back in 2012 a client approached us with a request, she needed Rip van Wafels for koffietijd – a mid-morning coffee break enjoyed with a wafel for her New York City office. This was very similar to 2006, when Amsterdam native Rip Pruisken arrives at Brown University. Rip heads to the dining hall for koffietijd. Finding decent coffee but no wafel, Rip is horrified to learn that most of America is without his favorite snack. Over the years, Rip was able to make sure that everyone in America has premium Amsterdam Wafels for a proper koffietijd; and now Corporate Esesntials is ready to make sure that your NYC, NJ and Brooklyn offices have his Rip van Wafels for koffietijd as well. Rip van Wafels are now available from Corporate Essentials in two varieties: Traditional Amsterdam Wafels (16/box) – only 150 calories each (8g of sugar) Cocoa Filled Amsterdam Wafels (16/box)
