MANILA -- Nadine Lustre’s hard work beyond the screen is bearing fruit, as her plant-based coconut milk brand Dehusk — which she co-founded with boyfriend Christophe Bariou — continues to expand, now partnering with coffee chain Pickup Coffee.
On Monday at Vertis North in Quezon City, the two Filipino brands launched a new line of coconut milk drinks, including Coco Mango Matcha — a signature creation by Lustre herself.

“Dehusk is very easy to mix with everything and obviously, Pickup Coffee has the best drinks ever,” said Lustre.
“It means so much to Dehusk. One of our goals is to reach all the islands from north to south, west to east. We want them to try our coconut milk, and I think Pickup Coffee is amazing because they are available everywhere, nationwide,” Bariou added.
Pickup Coffee, for its part, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to local innovation and pride.
“We’re always looking for new innovations to surprise and delight our customers,” said Bien Lee, chief brand officer for Pickup Coffee.
“That’s why this collaboration with Dehusk is so special. Just like Pickup, Dehusk is a proudly Filipino homegrown brand, with a bold vision to bring plant-based innovation to the forefront. Through this collaboration, we celebrate the power of two Filipino brands coming together to reimagine what’s possible. Together, we’ve been able to develop a product line that’s refreshing, delicious, and most importantly, uplifting," he added.
