“Long before there were certifications for doing the right thing, we developed direct relationships with farmers and paid them a premium for quality,” Isais says. This dedication to quality is led by the company’s coffee master, Jay Isais, who is known throughout the coffee world for upholding the highest standards. One unique aspect of the brand’s heritage is that it only selects the top 1 percent of Arabica beans from the world’s best growing regions. Furthermore, this mid-size specialty coffee and tea chain sits comfortably between “big” coffee and “hip” coffee, offering something that both have yet to deliver on: quality without the attitude. Within a market that seems to produce more and more competition each day, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has proven that it understands its industry better and is able to deliver on quality and consistency with each cup. Serving more than 110 million coffee, tea, and Ice Blended® beverages each year, its success just keeps building. Founded in Southern California, the iconic Los Angeles brand has quietly grown to over 1,100 locations in 29 countries. Not many people know that The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is one of the world’s first and largest privately held specialty coffee and tea retailers. Something that “Big” Coffee & “Hip” Coffee Don’t Have: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf heads into 2017 stronger than ever
