About the Product

How is Suntory BOSS Coffee made? How is it different from other ready-to-drink coffees?
Suntory BOSS Coffee differs from other ready-to-drink coffee brands because of its unique “flash- brew” process. While it’s new to the ANZ market, it has old roots in Japan. With this authentic Japanese-style process, coffee is brewed hot to unlock deep rich flavour, and then chilled down in seconds to lock it in. The result is a distinct, rich coffee experience that is bold and well-balanced.

What does flash-brew mean?
In this authentic Japanese-style process, coffee is brewed hot to maximise the extraction of flavour compounds, then cooled down rapidly to preserve them. The result is a true, rich coffee experience that is bold and well-balanced.

Where does Suntory BOSS Coffee get its coffee beans?
Our coffee beans are primarily sourced from the finest coffee growing areas in Brazil and Colombia.

Is Suntory BOSS Coffee imported? Where is it manufactured?
Yes, it is manufactured and imported from Japan. Suntory BOSS Coffee started its history in 1992 in Japan, and the team has been pursuing the best quality of RTD Coffee with the spirit of coffee craftsmanship.

How much caffeine does Suntory BOSS Coffee have?

We follow the labelling requirements outlined by FSANZ in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. 

The caffeine levels can be variable as coffee is an agricultural material in which caffeine naturally occurs. Factors which effect the caffeine level include the variety of coffee bean used, the geographical location of where the coffee was grown, the processing method, and how the coffee is prepared. For example, a shot of brewed coffee contains around 80-105mg of caffeine.
