VISTA, Calif., Oct. 15, 2019 — NuZee, Inc. (OTCQB: NUZE) (“NuZee” or “the Company”), a specialty coffee company and a leading U.S. single serve pour over coffee producer and co-packer, announced today that it has signed a manufacturing and distribution agreement with Royal Cup Coffee & Tea® to introduce a new, in-room coffee experience featuring Royal Cup’s first-ever single-serve pour over coffee product.
Under the terms of the agreement, NuZee will prepare and custom package Royal Cup Coffee & Tea’s® ROARTM coffee brand into a single serve, pour-over coffee product that will be made available to Royal Cup® Coffee & Tea’s hospitality and hotel customers across the United States.
