The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Expands into Portland

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf brand – one of the world's leading roasters and retailers of specialty coffee and tea – has expanded its footprint and entered the coveted Portland food and beverage scene.

The first of several planned openings in the region, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf opened on March 8 in Lake Oswego at 1175 McVey Ave., through its Portland based franchisee, Bambuza Hospitality Group.

Sanjiv Razdan, president of the Americas and India for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf brand, said, “Our opening today in the Portland metro area underscores our commitment to bringing our beloved beverages to more guests and demonstrates our strength as a leading roaster and retailer of coffee and tea.”

Daniel Nguyen, CEO of Bambuza Hospitality Group, said, “The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf's commitment to premium ingredients makes it a great fit for Lake Oswego, and we know the Pacific Northwest loves its tea as much as its coffee.”

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is a noted leader in innovation within the coffee and tea industry with its invention of the brand’s iconic The Original Ice Blended drink. They are also the first global coffee and tea retailer to offer cold brew tea.

The new location features the company's vibrant new design and layout, which includes ample indoor seating and outdoor seating. As in all its locations, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Lake Oswego store offers a wide variety of whole leaf teas, fine grades of Arabica coffee from selected estates around the world (custom roasted in small batches at its roasting facility in Camarillo, Calif.), and fresh baked goods.

The expansion into the Pacific Northwest also represents a key growth initiative for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf with Oregon marking the 15th state to welcome the coffee and tea brand.

The grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on March 17 at 10 a.m. with Joe Buck, Mayor of Lake Oswego, and the celebration will offer three days of grand opening deals, including discounted food and drink offers, limited edition swag items and special giveaways.
