The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is expanding dessert-inspired holiday coffee drinks with a new tiramisu collection that transforms classic Italian dessert flavors into seasonal beverages. The lineup includes an iced Americano, a frozen espresso blend, and a latte finished with a creamy topping, offering customers different ways to enjoy the festive flavor.
The holiday menu also introduces a Peppermint Matcha Cream Latte alongside returning favorites. A separate Barista Edit Menu features creative combinations such as Snickerdoodle Dry Iced Americano and Peaches N' Cream Cold Brew Tea. Additionally, a limited-edition Paul Frank collaboration brings collectible drinkware and accessories to participating cafés.
For The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, these launches expand seasonal purchasing opportunities through specialty beverages and merchandise. Exclusive early access for rewards members encourages loyalty engagement, while the expanded menu provides additional options for attracting holiday shoppers.
