Mishry Rating
Summary
The idea behind Tata Cold Coffee Liquid Concentrate was impressive. Sadly, the performance was not up to mark.
Cold coffee. For some, this is simply a beverage. For others, it’s nothing short of an emotion. It’s an essential for some, a non-negotiable me-time factor for some.
That said, there are certain mornings where you can’t really make time to brew, or you’d rather save that cup of caffeine for when the midday slump hits. A decoction or concentrate is ideal for such scenarios. After a few commendable experiences with liquid coffee concentrates, we tested another brand in our Tata Cold Coffee Liquid Concentrate review.

Our Review Factors
To review Tata Cold Coffee, we gauged it across parameters like flavor, consistency, convenience, and if or not this was a value for money product.
A brief explanation of these parameters has been explained in the following section.
1. Flavor
We wished to gauge the strength and depth of the coffee flavor, whether it was more nutty or cocoa-like. Was the characteristic bitterness in place or underwhelming?
As it already contains sugar, we checked for balance and if or not there is room for adjustment.
2. Convenience
Milk and this decoction- is this all you need for a cuppa?
Were the instructions apt and clear? Taking the consistency and overall quantity into consideration, do we recommend this product?
3. Secondary Parameters

Tata Cold Coffee – Detailed Review
Price + Packaging
A carton holding five sachets (20 ml each) is priced at Rs 125/- This has a shelf life of one year.
Main Ingredients
The liquid concentrate is made using Water, Sugar, Coffee (6.6%), Stabilisers (440, 415), Chicory, Nature-identical flavoring substance, natural flavor, Preservative (202).
One sachet offers 31 Kcal.
How did we make this?
The instructions are mentioned on the carton. We added the concentrate into a cup and followed it with 200 ml of chilled milk, and half a teaspoon of sugar. After mixing, we topped it with two cubes of ice and served.
Aroma + Appearance
This is a rich, deep brown-hued concentrate that was a syrup-like consistency. Not too watery, not too thick either. As for aroma, it was nutty, like that of well-roasted coffee beans.
Taste + Consistency
Straight off the bat, the consistency was smooth and uniform. When milk was added, this mixed in seamlessly and an even beverage was prepared.
As for flavor, it was pretty average. Sure, the classic coffee bitterness was present, but we have tasted much richer and smoother-tasting coffees. To better explain, this was not a bad coffee. It’s just that, cost considered, there are better alternatives to this.
- Travel-friendly packing
- Easy to prepare. No equipment needed.
- Fresh taste
- Inviting aroma
- The strength of coffee could have been better
- Contains preservatives
- Unfeasible for those who prefer sugar free coffee
