UPDATE - Baristas to Expand Amazon Distribution, Introducing Coffee-Based Health and Personal Care Products

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Mar 9, 2016) - Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (OTCQB: BCCID), "Seattle's World Famous Costume Coffee", announced today that it is expanding its branded product offering to include coffee-based health and personal care products. Baristas' first product is a high-end, coffee-based morning moisturizer.

The moisturizer is made from Baristas' award winning five bean variety of pure Arabica beans that have been hand selected and individually roasted. Developed and tested by Baristas, the product has many unique benefits not found in other products. It contains antioxidants and beneficial nutrients that are absorbed into the skin, increases energy, alertness, helps burn fat, and increases physical performance. Other proven benefits of coffee and caffeine are a reduced risk of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cirrhosis, and some types of cancer.  

Baristas partnered with Amazon, the most valuable retailer in the United States by market capitalization, to offer the only coffee-based morning moisturizer available on Amazon. The product is expected to launch on Amazon in the coming weeks and to expand into other distribution channels thereafter.

Barry Henthorn, CEO, commented, "Baristas continues to expand its brand and product offering based on the recent success of its Keurig 2.0 compatible coffee cups. The moisturizer is a truly remarkable and unique product that we expect will increase revenues and introduce Baristas to a new market. The new offering is extremely high quality yet affordable and leverages our core business of serving gourmet coffee."
