VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”), announces it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) for the formation of a commercial relationship with Kingston Cannabis Inc. (“KCI”), a Health Canada Licensed Producer to launch its cannabis-infused beverages through a co-packing arrangement with KCI. KCI’s affiliate, Kingston Aluminum Technologies Inc. (“KAT”) will provide custom designed aluminum packaging for Sproutly’s products. In addition, KCI and Sproutly will collaborate on the consumer evaluation of Sproutly’s formulations that are made using ingredients produced by the proprietary APP cannabis processing technology.
Sproutly will leverage KCI’s co-packing expertise to launch the Company’s Infuz2O ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages in calendar Q1 2022.

The Company’s RTDs will be sold in crafted aluminum bottles made possible only with KAT’s proprietary aluminum extrusion technology.

Sproutly and KCI are working together to launch the first of consumer focus group study before the end of October, where participants will be able to try some of Sproutly’s first RTD products.
“This relationship will allow us to launch our beverages made with our proprietary Infuz2O extract in distinct, environmentally friendly aluminum containers with unique internal coating for better preservation of cannabis products,” said Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Sproutly. “Additionally, we will utilize KCI’s research license to test our product formulations and select our 3.0 beverages for features that are preferred in consumer products that will deliver a true to strain, whole plant experience.”
