Seattle's Best Coffee brews up iced specialty beverages

June 2, 2010

Adding to the iced specialty coffee trend, Seattle's Best Coffee has announced the arrival of new blended seasonal beverages and the return of a favorite packaged coffee at its cafes nationwide.

The star this summer at Seattle's Best Coffee is the Cookie Dough JavaKula blended beverage. The blended beverage is made with smooth, cold brewed coffee and a combination of cookie dough syrup and white chocolate sauce and is topped with a signature chocolate baton, whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate chip cookie crumbles.

The key ingredient in the Cookie Dough JavaKula is the Seattle's Best Coffee cold brewed coffee concentrate, a concentrated coffee extract produced by using a special cold brewing process. The cold brewing process extracts the flavors of coffee and leaves behind undesirable acids and oils, resulting in a bold, slightly sweet, smooth-tasting coffee finish. Cold brewed coffee is used as the base for the Seattle's Best Coffee JavaKula blended beverages, coffee milkshakes and Hand Shaken ColdBrewed Originals.

Other new summer seasonal offerings at Seattle's Best Coffee include:

Peach CremeKula blended beverage – An iced beverage featuring fresh peaches blended with ice and topped with whipped cream. Seattle's Best Coffee also is bringing back a favorite beverage from last summer – the Peach FruitKula Blended Beverage, a refreshing non-coffee blended beverage.
A favorite summer coffee since 1998, Beach House Blend packaged coffee returns in a one-pound whole bean package. Beach House Blend, which can be brewed hot or served over ice, offers a refreshingly mild citrus flavor, delicate aroma and smooth finish.

Complementing the cool new summer offerings, Seattle's Best Coffee also has rolled out new OvenSong Cupcakes in three flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla Bean and Raspberry Sparkle.
