Abstract: A beverage system for providing a beverage, methods of making the beverage and the resulting beverage are shown herein. The system includes a beverage-forming concentrate and an aroma or aroma-providing component separated from the concentrate; wherein the concentrate and aroma are combinable upon reconstitution for providing the beverage. One method includes delivering a fresh beverage taste to an on-premise beverage at a point of dispensation, by delivering at least one aroma or aroma-providing component in an amount sufficient to enhance the organoleptic properties of a beverage separately from a beverage concentrate prior to when the beverage is dispensed, and mixing the aroma or aroma-providing compound with a liquid and the beverage concentrate or with a mixture of a beverage concentrate and a liquid when the beverage is being dispensed.

The system includes a beverage-forming concentrate and an aroma or aroma-providing component separated from the concentrate; wherein the concentrate and aroma are combinable upon reconstitution for providing the beverage. The resulting beverage may be coffee, tea, carbonation, a juice, milk, or a non-dairy creamer-based component; or a combination thereof, while the aroma or aroma-providing component is coffee aroma, tea aroma, chocolate or cocoa aroma, malt, Maillard reaction flavor, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A beverage system that contains a coffee base concentrate and coffee aroma for providing a coffee beverage. The coffee base concentrate has a soluble coffee solids concentration of at least 10% by weight and is free of coffee aroma. The coffee base concentrate and the coffee aroma are stored separately and are combined upon reconstitution for providing a coffee beverage. Separate store of the coffee base concentrate and the coffee aroma increases the stability of the system. The coffee base concentrate and/or aroma components may be further treated to improve stability, including for example adding alkali, and/or treating the coffee base concentrate to remove acid precursors, and/or protecting one or both components from oxygen, and/or storing one or both components at reduced temperature.
