Peet's Coffee Welcomes 2018 with a Beverage Gold Rush

"After an indulgent holiday season, our wellness-centric and coffee forward Golden Caffẻ Latte, Golden Chai Latte, and Golden Cappuccino are the perfect way to kick off 2018," said Dave Burwick, CEO and President, Peet's Coffee. "Their simple, flavorful spices also honor our founder, Alfred Peet, who originally sold such ingredients in our first coffeebar on Vine & Walnut when it opened in 1966 and was known as 'Peet's Coffee, Tea, and Spices.'"

Good as Gold: Bright Flavors for a New Year

The following 2018 winter beverages, handcrafted with organic and all-natural ingredients, are available across participating Peet's coffeebars from 1/10/2018 to 4/30/2018.

• Golden Caffẻ Latte ($4.30 – $5.60 USD): hand-steamed milk carefully blended with earthy turmeric and poured over expertly pulled espresso infused with ginger and a touch of honey sweetness.
• Golden Chai Latte ($3.95 – $5.25 USD): an infusion of Mighty Leaf Tea® Masala Chai, turmeric, and light spices to create an aromatic cup.
• Golden Cappuccino ($3.85 – 5.10 USD): the classic cappuccino reimagined with the zesty mix of turmeric, ginger, and honey. 

"We are thrilled to introduce to our menu a spice with such a storied tradition in South Asia before gaining popularity across the world," said Patrick Main, Senior R&D Manager, Peet's Coffee. "We cannot wait to showcase to fans how turmeric complements our coffee first attitude with a tasty aromatic filled punch."

Peet's is also proud to continue its history of using real ingredients for added flavor and visual effect, building on menu expansions like coconut milk in 2017, which followed on the success of a whipped coconut cream topping that the craft company launched in 2016. As with all Peet's beverages, Peetniks are encouraged to mix it up with coconut or almond milk.
