This winter, Peet's is bringing back its Golden Latte and introducing a new Golden beverage with the Golden Tonic. Like the Golden Latte (which can be enjoyed hot or iced) with turmeric, honey, ginger, steamed mink and hand-pulled espresso, the Golden Tonic plays with similar ingredients and can also be enjoyed at different temperatures. The new Golden beverage combines Smooth Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical with earthy turmeric, yuzu citrus, ginger and honey.
Peet's 2021 Winter Beverages can be enjoyed alongside other new menu additions like nourishing, warm and savory yet light breakfast frittatas. With these food and beverage products, Lori Fulmer, Senior Food R&D Manager, says: "As consumers becoming increasingly focused on making careful dietary choices, we want to provide foods that match their values."
