Company No: 797771-M 4. INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP (i) Instant Coffee and Tea Beverages Instant Coffee Mix We manufacture five different types of instant coffee mix including:OLDTOWN 3 in 1 Classic White Coffee; OLDTOWN 3 in 1 Natural Cane Sugar White Coffee; OLDTOWN 3 in 1 Hazelnut White Coffee; OLDTOWN 3 in 1 Ice Cold White Coffee; and OLDTOWN 2 in 1 White Coffee & Creamer.

The process of manufacturing instant coffee mix involves the use of raw materials such as instant coffee powder which is mixed with creamer with or without sugar depending on the requirements. It is common for the industry to purchase instant coffee powder from external sources locally or overseas, as the production of instant coffee powder itself requires different types of machinery and equipment. The production of our instant milk tea mix also goes through the same process by using instant tea powder, which is sourced from overseas with the addition of creamer and sugar. The range of our instant coffee mix and milk tea is depicted below:-
