A Taste Of Italy Is Now Available At The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

You may not get to vacation in Italy this summer but you can certainly get a taste of the Mediterranean country with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s new Affogato (pronounced “AH-foe-GAH-toe”) Ice Blended® drink. It takes on the name of a popular Italian dessert by adding an espresso shot poured on top of any of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s creamy Ice Blended® drinks for a little European sophistication.

And because summer is the time when the coffee and tea purveyor celebrates their Original Ice Blended drinks, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is offering happy hour every day from 3 to 5 p.m. until Sunday, August 2nd. Customers will receive half-off any size and any flavor of The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s Ice Blendeds on the summer drink menu at neighborhood locations only (see full list at end of release).

Affogato stars on The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s summer drink menu of Original Ice Blended drinks with: Mocha Affogato, Vanilla Affogato, White Chocolate Affogato, and Caramel Affogato.
