MINNEAPOLIS, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Caribou Coffee is proud to now offer a new line of drinks featuring two exciting ingredients: Bubbles and Matcha! Both launch in Caribou stores nationwide starting Thursday, May 3.

Bubbles
Caribou Coffee is the only national coffeehouse where you can get bubbles in your iced coffee drinks. Bubbles are chewy, coconut jellies flavored with caramel and are the perfect beverage mix-in. Caribou's Bubbles aren't filled with anything (tapioca, fruit juice, etc.), so they don't pop when you chew them like many options in the market.

This spring and summer guests can kick back and Bubble with these delicious, chewy, flavor-packed morsels that can be added to any of Caribou's existing iced beverages or enjoy the new line of Bubble Drinks! As we say… it's no trouble, just bubble!

Caribou Coffee's new Bubble Drinks include: Raspberry Green Tea (iced), Caramel Cooler (blended), Matcha Tea Cooler (blended). The drinks are for a growing coffee crowd looking for a new way to escape to bubblier shores. After all, who doesn't love a delicious, fun surprise at the bottom of their beverage!

Matcha
Caribou Coffee's got matcha! That's right, green is good at Caribou where guests can enjoy a delicious new line of Matcha beverages starting May 3.

Matcha is a type of powdered green tea that is grown and produced in Japan. The green tea leaves are shaded from the sun for the last few weeks of their growth, increasing the chlorophyll content and creating a gorgeous green color. Then, the leaves are carefully ground with stone grinding wheels to produce a fine powder.

Caribou Coffee's new Matcha lineup includes:

Matcha Tea Cooler with Bubbles!: Matcha powder, vanilla, half & half and Caribou Coffee's shake mix blended together and served on a bed of bubbles or coconut jellies flavored with caramel.

Matcha Vanilla Tea Latte: Matcha powder, vanilla and steamed milk

Not only are these matcha options the perfect summer pick-me-up, but they're also loaded with benefits including like antioxidants and a whole list of reported health benefits. Studies show Matcha boosts your metabolism, calms your mind, lowers cholesterol and includes anti-cancer properties.

Add a delicious dose of excitement to your beverages with Bubbles and Matcha, both available at all Caribou Coffee locations nationwide, about 400 stores, on May 3.
