The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® is the oldest and largest privately held coffee & tea retailer in the United States. Over the past five years, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has grown from 217 stores to over 750 at the end of 2008, serving more than 100 million beverages each year, including over 20,000 Ice Blended® drinks each day.

We take pride in crafting each drink to the highest possible standards. The only thing we wake greater pride in is passing that knowledge through to our customers and franchisees through a rigorous and rewarding training program.

Much like we help our customers find their flavor for their beverage, we provide our franchisees the tools and the freedom to find their local flavor. Our franchisees are encouraged to tailor their Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf locations to their local communities.

We use the top 1% of beans in the world. We have been fortunate enough to apply this same ideology to our franchise partners. Our 450 worldwide locations are operated by 30 franchisees.
