Planting Hope Announces Distribution of Hope and Sesame(R) Barista Blend Sesamemilk in Costco Warehouse Stores

CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 6, 2024 / The Planting Hope Company Inc. (TSXV:MYLK)(OTCQB:MYLKF)(FRA:J94) ("Planting Hope" or the "Company"), a dynamic Foodtech innovation company dedicated to creating breakthrough delicious, sustainable food and beverage solutions through cutting-edge ingredient, formulation, and packaging technology, is pleased to announce that it has launched its Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk in 20 select Costco Warehouse Stores across the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, including locations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. This rotation program will be in the store for approximately 12 weeks or while supplies last. Future and expanded distribution opportunities with Costco are dependent on many factors, including sales velocity during this initial program.

Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk is packaged in a special 6-pack unit of six 32 oz cartons just for Costco warehouse members at $18.99/6-pack (equivalent to $3.19 per carton). Costco distribution is done on ‘shoppable pallets' of a single selected product, in this case the top seller in the Hope and Sesame® product line, the Barista Blend, which specially formulated to froth, foam, steam, and perform like a dream in hot and iced beverages, from coffee to teas and bubble teas, to matcha and smoothies.

Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk is a breakthrough in plant-based milks, offering a quantum leap forward in sustainability: a 6-pack of sesamemilk saves 582L of water over the same size 6-pack case of almond milk.

Cradle-to-grave, Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend uses 54% less water than oat milk, 75% less than almond milk, and 84% less than dairy milk, per a study conducted in partnership with Planet FWD. Sesamemilk is packed with nutrition, supplying 2x the protein of comparable oat or almond barista-style milk products. The rest of the sesamemilk line provides 8x the protein in almond milk and 3x the protein in oat milk.

Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk delivers more protein versus common plant-based milk alternatives, with dramatically lower water usage per liter!

"We are thrilled to introduce our Hope and Sesame® Barista Blend Sesamemilk across the Pacific Northwest, ostensibly the seat of coffee innovation in the United States and an area that has been the incubator for great cafés from Starbucks to Stumptown to Caffè Umbria," said Julia Stamberger, CEO and co-founder, Planting Hope. "By switching to sesamemilk, Costco members are able to upgrade the deliciousness of their plant based milk, plus double up their protein and save a substantial amount of water over most barista almond and oat milks."

"Fittingly, Hope and Sesame® Sesamemilk is being introduced to Costco members during the Lunar New Year season, where sesame is part of many traditional foods served to celebrate the new year across Asia," continued Ms. Stamberger. "We're excited to celebrate 2024, the Year of the Dragon!"
