H&Bean is a new takeaway barista service being trialled at the Holland & Barrett (H&B) Victoria Street branch in London.
The retailer says the range of signature teas and coffees incorporate trending health and wellness ingredients with scientifically backed benefits and focus on supporting issues including skin health, women’s health, brain health and relaxation.
Hand-made by H&B baristas, the 17-strong collection features hot and iced drinks, such as:
Calm Latte – Relax: a grassy, sweet and nutty drink, combining matcha, coconut milk, ashwagandha and vitamin B3 to support energy levels, and reduced tiredness and fatigue.
Beauty Within Latte – Glow: with earthy flavours mixed with espresso and coconut, this coffee infuses espresso, blue pea flower, coconut milk, tremella, collagen, selenium, vitamin A and inulin to support strong hair and skin, protect against cell damage and support the normal production of collagen.
Digest Tea with ACV: offering delicious aromatic and ginger flavours, with a sweet fresh apple finish, this tea mixes H&B Apple Cider Vinegar with a digestive support tea bag.
“With the healthier coffee market growing, we’re excited to bring this new offering to the market”
“Our team of experts have been hard at work to bring to market a unique range of drinks with benefits that’s backed by science and nutrition,” says Rachel Chatterton, head of food and beverage development at H&B. “With the healthier coffee market growing, we’re excited to bring this new offering to the market as an on-the-go drinks option for customers.
