Report Methodology

The information contained in this report was obtained from primary and secondary research. Primary research entailed consultations with beverage market sources, on-site examination of retail venues, and fielding a proprietary Packaged Facts online consumer survey focusing on beverage product shopper insights. Menu item data is provided in part by Datassential, a leading foodservice research company. We highlight content from its MenuTrends product, which has the widest coverage of restaurants on the market. Secondary research included extensive Internet canvassing and research- and data-gathering from relevant consumer business and trade publications; company reports including annual reports, press releases, and investor conference calls; company profiles in trade and consumer publications; government reports; and other food and beverage market reports by Packaged Facts.

Our consumer analysis draws primarily on two data sources. The first is national consumer survey data from Experian Simmons in its Summer 2011 National Consumer Study, as well as previous-year Experian Simmons surveys. The discussion of consumer patterns also draws on proprietary Packaged Facts online consumer surveys, including a May/June 2011 survey based on 2,000 U.S. adults (including 1,539 coffee drinkers and 1,453 tea drinkers) who in aggregate are census representative on the primary demographic measure of age, gender, geographic region, race/ethnicity, and presence of children in the household.
