The SCA Expo serves as a global stage for coffee professionals to showcase groundbreaking products, network with industry leaders, and celebrate innovation within the specialty coffee community. This year, amidst fierce competition, Noosh Brands emerged victorious with its innovative approach to rethinking the use of plant based dairy products in coffee shops. Noosh debuted its pre-measured sachets of AlmondMilk and OatMilk concentrates that when blended with water, make fresh almond and oat milk. By replacing traditional cartons, the Noosh AlmondMilk Barista Series Concentrate reduces waste and recycling by 90%, reduces storage requirements by over 90% and provides a 92% carbon footprint reduction.

"We are immensely honored to receive the Best New Product Award at The Specialty Coffee Association Expo 2024," said Steven Sahatjian, Co-Founder of Noosh Brands. "This recognition is a testament to our dedication to improving operational efficiencies, reducing carbon footprint and providing unparalleled taste experience. Because almond and oat milk cartons are comprised of about 97% water, consumers are essentially purchasing and storing water. Not only is this costly, but it also takes up space, creates waste and transportation costs. Our concentrates ensure that we are not shipping water across the globe or creating waste for landfills. We have created space saving from shipping-warehousing-delivery to the cafes. We are deeply grateful to the SCA organization and all our supporters for this incredible honor."

Noosh Brands has earned acclaim for its unwavering commitment to redefining the plant based dairy experience and employing state-of-the-art production techniques to deliver a truly exceptional product.

The Best New Product Award from the SCA Expo underscores Noosh Brands' commitment to excellence and innovation, reaffirming its position as a trailblazer in the coffee industry. As the company continues to push boundaries and set new standards for quality and sustainability, customers can expect even more exciting developments from Noosh Brands in the future.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Thomas, one of the most prolific receiving tight ends in the history of the New York Giants, died last week at his home in Corvallis, Oregon, following a lengthy illness. He was 86.

The Giants announced Thomas' death Friday. The team said he died on April 26.

Thomas played 116 regular-season games for the Giants between 1962 and 1970. He ranks 17th in franchise history with 254 receptions, 14th with 4,253 yards and is tied for sixth with 35 touchdown catches. He missed only seven games in his career because of injury.

“He’s almost like the early version of (Kansas City Chiefs tight end) Travis Kelce,” his son, Robb Thomas, who played a decade in the league, told the team's website. "He was a tight end and flanker, but he really ran good routes and had a good feel about getting into open space.”

A fourth-round draft pick in 1961, Thomas was traded to the Giants after two games in 1962. Two years later, Thomas led the Giants with 43 receptions for 624 yards and six touchdowns and was selected to the Pro Bowl. In 1967, he posted career-high totals of 51 catches, 877 yards and nine scores. He retired following the 1970 season.

After his NFL career, Thomas became a stockbroker in Los Angeles before he and his father bought a restaurant/bar/bowling alley in Yreka, California. Thomas later moved to Oregon, where he was the head football coach at Klamath Falls High School for three years in the early 1980s. He then returned to his alma mater, Oregon State, where he was the assistant director of the Beaver Club until 1989.

Thomas is survived by his wife, Joan, and children Troy, Robb, Lance and Leslie.
