HTeaO and Tony’s Chocolonely teamed up to create a feel-good, fall-exclusive beverage, the Tony’s Chocolonely Peanut Butter Latte, that celebrates ethical chocolate. This new latte is made with Monin Peanut Butter syrup, Monin Cookie Butter syrup, freshly brewed Free Rein Homestead espresso, and whole milk, all topped off with whipped cream and shavings from Tony’s statement-making unequally divided milk chocolate bar. Notably, despite its nutty flavor, the decadent drink is nut allergy safe.
To mark the launch of the Tony’s Chocolonely Peanut Butter Latte, HTeaO hosted a Reverse Happy Hour from 8AM to 10AM on October 1st, giving guests the chance to claim a BOGO deal on any drink from the coffee menu, including the Tony’s Peanut Butter Latte (which can be ordered hot or cold) as well as tea lattes and hot chocolate.
