It’s a Nutty, Minty Christmas at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Sri Lanka’s premier specialty coffee shop and lifestyle brand, has launched their new range of Christmas products and gifts, including a special range of drinks, cakes, cookies, macaroons, and gingerbread men, and the annual tradition of a Xmas coffee bean mug.

Coffee Bean’s Californian parent has created three special drinks exclusively for the holiday season, combining the rich tradition of Coffee Bean’s premium chocolate with classic American Xmas nuts – hazelnut and pecan, all combined as usual with the brand’s famous coffee.  The Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle is a luxurious blend of The Bean’s premium coffee, rich dark chocolate hazelnut truffle powder, and steamed milk.  The Butter Pecan Latte combines sweet, buttery caramel and rich cream with hints of vanilla and candied pecans. And The Double Chocolate Peppermint Mocha, a decadent dark chocolate drink with cool peppermint yumminess. Customers can, as ever at the Coffee Bean, customize their drinks or create their own by adding the special flavour of peppermint to any drink of their choice.

The latest treat for customers is the availability of made-to-order cakes from the huge repertory of world class American and classic cakes The Coffee Bean is famous for. Treat your family for special occasions, like Christmas or a Birthday, or just a weekend at home. All Coffee Bean cakes are handmade by Executive Chef Athula Mudalige and his team, using the finest imported ingredients. The Coffee Bean is famous for its classic Chicago style Cheese Cakes, and also for its 100% Barry Callebaut Belgium Chocolate cakes. This year’s special Xmas cakes are a Belgium White Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake, an American Blueberry Cream Meringue Roll (both available by slice or whole), and a Belgium Chocolate Hazelnut Christmas Candle Cake (only available whole). Other Xmas treats include an English Lemon Meringue Pie, Gingerbread Men, and Salted Caramel Cinnamon Buns. The Xmas mugs this year are in the brand’s signature purple and burgundy.

All products are available at all stores, and cake orders can be collected at any store within 24 hours. The brand’s stores at Cinnamon Gardens (the flagship), Fort @ WTC, and Katunayake International Airport will be joined before the year’s end by stores in Colpetty @ Liberty Plaza New Retail Podium and Negombo Beach.
