The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has just introduced its annual holiday season promotional drinks and food items.

Part of the California based brand’s international franchise network, the drinks were chosen from a range of 21 Christmas holiday ‘specials’ created in California. A large number of seasonal offers are not unusual for the Coffee Bean evident by its invention of the original Ice Blend beverage, which started the frozen coffee drink craze and created a new drink category globally.

The new drinks offered for the holiday season (from November 1 to January 5) are: Dark Chocolate and Peppermint as an Ice Blended or Latte (coffee based), or with cocoa; Red Velvet Ice Blended or with cocoa; Iced Candy Cane Tea Latte and Winter Dream Tea Latte (hot).

“Of our latest range of drinks, these have been selected for the universal popularity of their flavours,” said Training and Marketing Manager for CBTL in Sri Lanka, Dilano De Livera.  “Dark Chocolate and Red Velvet are the ‘in’ things at the moment,” added Chamila, a Senior Barista at the Coffee Bean’s flagship store in Maitland Crescent, “and Peppermint is popular in Sri Lanka.”

The new food dishes launched include a new pasta dish with beef goulash, a new salad with sesame and citrus chicken, a vegetarian quiche, and a new cupcake – the ‘Red Velvet’.

“The new items have been developed following demand from our customers to add additional variety to our very popular food menu. Each of these recipes has been adapted from successful items at the Coffee Bean globally, after testing them with our customers in Colombo,” said Coffee Bean’s Executive Chef, Athula Mudaligama, adding that they would continue to add more items to their menu in the near future.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has outlets in Maitland Crescent/Horton Place, at the World Trade Centre, and Katunayake Airport.  All outlets serve only international standard beverage products imported from the U.S.
