Challenger coffee brand, Lost Sheep Coffee, is rolling its award-winning Aussie-style RTD coffee range into Southern Co-op this week, marking the first major retail listing for the brand.
The launch sees Lost Sheep supplying its farm-to-can traceable, speciality grade Iced Latte, Iced Mocha and Iced Caramel Latte Cans to 46 Southern Co-op stores across the South of England.
The listing, which was secured in partnership with Curd & Cure (the leading independent food wholesaler championing mission-led challenger brands) highlights Lost Sheep’s commitment to fully traceable, fairly traded coffee and marks its mission to make Aussie-style coffee more accessible to everyday coffee drinkers across the UK.
The brand’s signature ‘Get To The Hopper’ coffee, crafted from fully-traceable Brazilian and Guatemalan Arabica beans, is used in its RTD Iced Coffee Cans, resulting in a smoother barista-quality coffee that boasts 100% traceability, from farm to can.
Stuart Wilson, founder of Lost Sheep Coffee, says: “Our listing with Southern Co-op is testament to how far we’ve come on our mission to bring speciality grade Aussie-style coffee to the mainstream.
“We’re changing the RTD coffee game because we will never use instant coffee; instead, our cans are filled with freshly ground & brewed beans that are 100% farm traceable and hand-roasted in Kent.
“Unlike many other milk-based coffee cans on the market, ours are smooth, with zero bitterness. They deliver a full barista experience in every sip – you can really taste the difference.
“The launch into Southern Co-op will help us bring our coffee to even more consumers across the UK, as we target national retail growth in 2026.”
Laura Bounds (MBE), Owner of Curd & Cure and mentor for food & drink challenger brands says: “At Curd & Cure, we’re passionate about championing mission-led brands who work incredibly hard to produce the best food & drink the UK has to offer.
“Lost Sheep’s listing with Southern Co-op is a fantastic launch platform to help the brand bring their award-winning range of fully traceable, fairly traded, speciality grade Aussie-style coffee to a mainstream consumer audience. I am excited to see what’s in store for the brand as we head into 2026.”
Lost Sheep Iced Coffee Cans (Iced Latte/ Iced Mocha/ Iced Caramel Latte) roll into Southern Co-op stores from December 2025. RRP £2.20 for a 250ml can. They are also available via Curd & Cure, Cotswold Fayre, Diverse Fine Foods, Chapple and Jenkins and Lansdell Soft Drinks.
