These new Jamba blended coffees are making their way to participating locations as a series of menu items that respond to consumer preferences for specialty coffee with an icy twist. The drinks come in the form of the Coffee Dream Machine and the Buzzin' Mocha Moo'd, which are each characterized by their coffee base with an almost smoothie-like consistency. The Coffee Dream Machine is paired with vanilla flavors in the mix, while the Buzzin' Mocha Moo'd has chocolate notes in the mix.
The new Jamba blended coffees are being promoted by the brand through the Sunrise Smoothie Tour that's headed to Los Angeles, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay Area where consumers can try each one for themselves.
