Slingshot Coffee Co. operates in the food and beverage services sector, producing a range of cold beverages including cold brew, cascara teas, and coffee sodas. The company emphasizes single-origin coffees that are certified organic and kosher and are directly sourced, aiming for a bright, nuanced flavor with notes of citrus, cacao, and stone fruit. It was founded in 2012 by Jenny and Jonathan Bonchak, eight-time award-winning baristas, and is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, where a small team runs the operation. Through its products, Slingshot targets cafes, restaurants, and specialty grocers in the United States, supplying a convenient alternative to traditional coffee drinks that reflects its sourcing and flavor focus. In 2013, Slingshot introduced the first ready-to-drink cascara tea, using cascara directly sourced from Finca Kilimanjaro in Santa Ana, El Salvador. Today, the company maintains a lineup of cold brews and cascara teas that are distributed in trend-setting markets, cafes and restaurants, and across major grocers in the United States.
