Tim Hortons has launched two new at-home iced coffee products now available at grocery stores across Canada — the ready-to-drink Iced Coffee, which is made from 100% Arabica beans, and the Iced Coffee Syrups that can be mixed with milk or blended with ice.
The convenient ready-to-drink Iced Coffee is available in three unsweetened flavors, including Medium Roast Black, Vanilla, and Caramel. The Iced Coffee Syrups, on the other hand, come in Cappuccino and Mocha. Both versions offer Canadians a new way to experience Tim Horton's most popular offerings.
The ready-to-drink options are available at Walmart nationally and at Metro locations in Quebec, while the syrups can be found at Fortinos, Save-On-Foods, No Frills, Maxi, Sobeys, Metro stores in Quebec, and online at TimShop.ca, with wider national distribution coming soon.
