What Are Some Unusual Coffee Flavors You Can Sell Through Dripshipper?
Coffee, after all, is more than routine for the morning. It’s an adventure, a culture and at times, an audacious experiment.
Have you ever taken a drink that tasted like spicy taco or maple bacon? If you haven’t, get ready — the phenomenon of oddball coffee flavors is here and ready to knock your socks off.
These oddball brews are a great option for adventurous drinkers, and a way for your brand to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
You’re probably thinking: Why does this concern me selling funky coffee flavors? So here’s the thing: It’s all about being different.
With more than $461 billion in worldwide coffee revenue and the average American drinking 400 million cups of the stuff a day, the competition is steep.
But doing something that is really different? That’s how you win.
What Makes Unusual Coffee Flavors So Special?
Now let’s get into the fun stuff — the flavors themselves. These are not your grandma’s hazelnut or French vanilla tubes.
Nope. I’m talking about Spicy Taco, Absinthe and Whiskey Barrel coffee. Yes, you read that right. Tacos and spirits to coffee to spark a little inspiration. Sounds wild, doesn’t it?
I’ll concede that when these flavors first crossed my radar, I dismissed them as gimmicks. But then I tried them.
And wow, was I wrong. Each sip was a revelation, like uncovering a secret treasure. They were not just “different” for the sake of being different — they worked.
Spicy Taco Flavored Coffee
Picture being able to wake up to a cup of coffee that tastes just like your favorite taco truck’s secret seasoning! This taste blends the coffee notes of earth with spice and sweet savory.
It’s just right for those who like their quilts bright and surprising.
Jack Daniel’s Coffee
This one’s for all the whiskey lovers. Just try to picture the flavor of that rich, smoky Jack-flavor infused into every single bean.
It’s silky, a little sweet and packs enough of a kick that mornings will feel a touch like happy hour.
Chipotle-Flavored Coffee
If you’re a hothead, this is your chow. Chipotle imparts a hint of smokiness and heat to the coffee without overwhelming its inherent flavor. Consider it the Sriracha of the coffee world.
Absinthe Coffee
Green fairy vibes, anyone? Absinthe coffee ladles a sweet licorice sweetness and an herbal complexity into your cup. It’s strange, fascinating and not soon forgotten.
Maple Bacon Morning Coffee
Who says breakfast can’t be in a mug? This flavor brings together the sweet yumminess of maple syrup and the savory deliciousness of bacon. It’s indulgent, comforting and weirdly addictive.
Whiskey Barrel Coffee
This coffee is aged in real whiskey barrels, soaking in the woody, boozy flavor from its environment. The result? A drink giving you the kind of hug a person can’t provide on a cold day.
Amaretto Flavored Coffee
For almondophiles, this is a dream fulfilled. They are nutty, sweet, and just the right kind of bitter that a good cup of coffee should be. It’s like dessert in a cup.
Butterscotch Coffee
Rich, creamy and so so smooth, a butterscotch coffee is like your caramel latte’s cooler cousin. It’s cozy, it’s nostalgic and it’s just plain delicious.
Chai Spiced Coffee
Coffee and chai collide in this fragrant blend. Cinnamon,cardamom,ginger and cloves combine with strong coffee flavor. It’s as if chai tea went from economy to first class.
Peppermint Coffee
Great for the holidays (or any time of the year), peppermint coffee is cool, minty, and invigorating. It’s like drinking your toothpaste and having a cup of coffee at the same time — only without what I would assume the toothpaste part would taste like.

And after you’ve made their flavors, we’ll discuss how you might sell them. That’s where Dripshipper comes in— a one-stop-shop to kickstart and grow your coffee business with risk free and straightforward. I promise, this one is a game changer.
Dripshipper specializes in private label dropshipping – you don’t have to carry any inventory, you don’t have to ship anything, you don’t have to do any manufacturing at all.
You brand and market it, and they take care of everything else. Sounds pretty sweet, right?
But wait, there’s more. Dripshipper also delivers medium-dark roasts with myriad flavor notes such as toffee, caramel, chocolate, raisins, green apples, red fruits, cherries, black currant, and even gentle floral finishes.
These are profiles that please both casual drinkers and coffee snobs.
How Much Coffee Are We Talking About?
Before we proceed, let’s do some math. And after all, you can make better plans if you know how much coffee you’re dealing with.
- 8 oz bag: 41 cups (average) 2 oz bag: 10 cups (average).64 oz box: 3-4 cups (average)
- 12 oz bag : Around 62 cups
- 16 oz bag: Approximately 82 cups
Not bad, huh? Whether you’re serving up solo caffeine addicts or whole families, these sizes hold you covered.
Customization Options That Make Your Brand Shine
Dripshipper One of my favorite aspects of Dripshipper is how malleable of an idea it is.
You can upload totally custom, FDA-compliant labels, select from a number of bag colors, grind types, and sizes, and even set up sample packs and best-seller bundles.
Here’s what that means for you: total creative control. Looking to create a label that basically screams “quirky and fun”? Go for it. Want something sleek and minimal? No problem.
The options are as endless as your imagination.
Sample packs are particularly useful for trying out unusual flavors. People like to try new things, but committing to a full-size bag of anything can be scary.
Sample packs eliminate that fear and encourage discovery.
Traditional vs. Unusual Flavors: Who Wins?
To understand why taste sensations that are out of the ordinary grab our attention, we need to compare them with the traditional ones.
Flavor Type | Example Flavors | Appeal/Target Market |
Traditional | French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Mocha | Mainstream, classic coffee drinkers |
Unusual/Novelty | Spicy Taco, Maple Bacon, Absinthe | Adventurous, novelty seekers |
Seasonal/Trendy | Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint, Chai | Holiday, seasonal shoppers |
Gourmet/Single-Origin | Toffee, Red Fruits, Black Currant | Coffee connoisseurs, specialty buyers |
See the difference? Traditional flavors are for the masses while unusual ones are for those in a niche who crave something new. And let me tell you, that audience is out there.
Marketing Magic: Stand Out Without Breaking the Bank
Selling peculiar coffee flavors isn’t as difficult as you might think. In fact, it’s kind of fun. Here are some tips that will work wonders:
Highlight the Story Behind the Flavor
People love stories. Let them know the idea originated. Where did the Spicy Taco flavor come from, a road trip through Mexico? Was the Absinthe mixture a homage to bohemian artists? Stories sell.
Use Social Media to Build Buzz
Share coffee photos and videos that pop. Gloat over those poppy labels. Share customer testimonials. Offer up giveaways with your most unique flavors. Engagement is key.
Partner with Influencers
Locate influencers who are on-brand with your brand values. Offer to send them free samples, share with their followers what a great product your coffee is and much, much more. The word of mouth is still paramount.
Offer Limited-Edition Releases
Scarcity drives demand. Put your craziest flavors out in limited batches and watch as they sell out.
Final Thoughts
Weird coffee flavors are not just a fad — they are a movement. By targeting this niche, you can define a piece of the growing $461 billion coffee business for yourself. Ready to take the plunge?
