Healthy drinking is no more a trend in the United States but has become important in consumers' life to consume healthy food and drink items. Various types of RTD coffee are introduced in the market to serve the vast consumer base spread across the country. Marked by health concerns, consumers are increasingly growing aware of the available functional drinks, thus, driving the market for RTD coffee in the hot segment. With respect to growing trends of functional drinks, consumers are purposely wanting to purchase RTD coffees that claim to provide health benefits. Henceforth, the leading companies are infusing nutrients, like vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, and energy boosters, in their RTD coffee products.

The beverages combine caffeine with green tea's nootropic L-Theanine and are made with oat milk, reishi mushrooms, Lion's Mane mushrooms, and MCTs.
