Sparkling Drink Systems International and Marley Coffee to Co-Develop a Range of Marley Coffee-Branded Coffee Pods Exclusively for Use with ViBEration

NEW YORK and DENVER, Sept. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparkling Drink Systems International (SDS), the Drinking Experience Company specializing in beverages and at-home carbonation products, has signed a Letter of Intent with Marley Coffee (OTCQB: JAMN), the sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan-roasted gourmet coffee company, to create a strategic partnership to produce a range of Marley Coffee-branded coffee pods for use with SDS's ViBEration system.

Together SDS and Marley Coffee will launch a global line of hot, iced, milk and water- based coffee pods codeveloped exclusively for use with ViBEration, SDS's new generation of at-home carbonation appliances and portable beverage products that use a patented powdered technology to deliver fizz, flavor and functional benefits all in one pod, in two steps -- insert pod and push to pierce -- and with no CO₂ cylinder.

Serge Bueno, SDS's Founder and Executive Chairman, said, "Sales of ready-to-drink coffee are growing as consumers seek to enjoy the coffeehouse experience at home and on-the-go. Our new coffee pods, which can be enjoyed hot, iced, with milk or with water, are the perfect 'freshly made' alternative, filling the gap between freshly brewed, current capsule coffees and off-the-shelf products. Marley Coffee boasts established distribution, especially in the U.S., where the brand performs well in our key retailers, and enjoys high brand recognition. We are thrilled they will be partnering with us to offer ViBEration customers great-tasting branded coffee."

Rohan Marley, Founder and Chairman of Marley Coffee, said, "We constantly seek new opportunities to expand the Marley Coffee brand across new platforms and to new segments. SDS, with its global presence, is the perfect partner to help take Marley Coffee truly worldwide. The ViBEration Twist & Vibe product range will allow us to capitalize on the high-growth on-the-go coffee market, an exciting move forward for the brand."

Brent Toevs, CEO of Marley Coffee, said, "We believe the new partnership between Marley Coffee and SDS will not only expand our customers' options when it comes to enjoying their favorite coffee blends, but also demonstrate how cutting-edge technology goes hand-in-hand with this age-old refreshment option. Together, we are leading the way forward to a new and exciting chapter for coffee lovers everywhere."

The Marley Coffee/ViBEration co-branded coffee pod range, available in the U.S. in early 2015, is expected to include bestselling flavors such as "Get Up, Stand Up," "Lively Up!" and "One Love" as well as flavors exclusive to the ViBEration range. The partnership comes timed on the heels of SDS's unveiling of the ViBEration 350, a new appliance targeting the global beverage market and home beverage system market. SDS's new system promises the consumer the ability to create unique beverages, not only Marley Coffees but also any kind of drink, whether hot, cold, sparkling or still, without the use of a CO₂ cylinder.
