The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Malaysia unveils a new vibrant range of refreshing cold brew teas that truly capture the essence of summer

Kuala Lumpur, 7th July 2022 – In the sweltering summer, nothing beats a refreshing, chilly beverage to bring the heat down. With this in mind, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Malaysia has unveiled an exquisite range of cold brew tea beverages to excite the senses – perfect for the all-year summer in Malaysia. Steeped cold for 5 hours, handpicked tea leaves provide the delicate, aromatic base of the cold brew teas, which allow the vibrant flavors of real fruit to truly shine through. With this, the new Behold the Cold range promises to deliver the sweet, refreshing bursts of flavors that will get Malaysians out and about for some fun under the sun.

“While the new Behold the Cold range of cold brew teas has been launched as an offering for the summer season, us Malaysians know very well that it is always summer for us here in Malaysia,” said Fiona Rodrigues, Head of Marketing & Innovation, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Malaysia. “That is why beyond just providing refreshing, cold beverages to beat the heat, Behold the Cold is all about rekindling a yearning for the outdoors. Whether or not you are a tea lover, nothing beats fun in the sun, while holding a vibrant, zesty and refreshing drink! Think summer holidays, picnics or even just teatime at the porch – these are where you will find our new cold brew teas perfect to have in hand.”

The vibrant, refreshing cold brew teas come in an assortment of tea and fruit pairings, with the Mango Cold Brew Tea and Watermelon Lychee Cold Brew Tea being the newcomers that will invigorate the range along with the existing Peach Jasmine Cold Brew Tea.

Each new flavor profile has been handcrafted for the perfect marriage of tea and real fruit. The Mango Cold Brew Tea incorporates natural mango puree with cold-steeped black tea, adding a tropical, singularly sweet tinge to the strong black tea base. The Watermelon Lychee Cold Brew Tea, on the other hand, takes watermelon-infused cold brew tea – enticing on its own on a hot day – and combines it with freshly added lychees. This combination of sweet-tangy flavors, exotic lychee crunch, and quality steeped black tea results in the ultimate tropical drink to quench your thirst.

If that isn’t tantalizing enough, each flavor comes in three variations: Cold Brew Sweet Tea, Sparkling Cold Brew Tea and Granita. The Mango Cold Brew Sweet Tea, the Watermelon Lychee Cold Brew Sweet Tea and the existing Peach Jasmine Cold Brew Sweet Tea come in small (RM13.90) and regular (RM14.90). On the other hand, the Sparkling Mango Cold Brew Tea, the Sparkling Watermelon Lychee Cold Brew Tea and the existing Sparkling Peach Jasmine Cold Brew Tea (small RM14.90 and regular RM15.90) adds a fizzy twist with the welcome addition of sparkling water – resulting in a bubbly and flavorful cup that will refresh and excite the senses. Lastly, for those who love their beverages frosty and blended semi-frozen to last longer in the heat, the Mango Lychee Granita and the Watermelon Lychee Granita are just the right treat, also available in small (RM15.90) and regular (RM16.90). Additionally, for the Cold Brew Sweet Tea and Sparkling Cold Brew Tea, a Cream Cap can be added for just RM2.50 for a silky-smooth start to each refreshing sip!

Strawberry Sugar Cookie

Alongside the new Cold Brew Tea beverages is a seasonal – obviously summer – menu that is equally reminiscent of tropical beaches and sunny skies, featuring fruity delights in the form of cakes, tarts and cookies. These include the Mango Sunshine cake, Midsummer Calamansi cake, Mango by the Peach tart and the Strawberry Sugar Cookie. Besides that, the menu also includes the Matcha Choc Swirl that will delight any matcha or chocolate fan. For those who fancy themselves a sunny stroll through a garden or meadow instead of the beach, the fresh and bright Macaroni Salad is just the feast for you – both for your eyes and your tongue!

Macaroni Salad

When you are done with fun in the sun and are craving something a bit more indulgent, we also have you covered with the latest addition to the Midnight Series, the Belgian Midnight Chocolate Ice Blended® (small RM 17.90 and regular RM18.90).

Midsummer Calamansi

There will also be a new summer-themed merchandise series – the Groovy Gulls series. The merchandise series will consist of tumblers and mugs, the perfect complement for any cold (or hot) beverage when out and about in the summer! Be sure to look out for when it hits the shelves at your neighborhood The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®.

Matcha Choc Swirl

Finally, from 9th to 11th July, there will be a Buy 1 Free 1 promotion for Cold Brew Tea Beverages** that you do not want to miss, exclusively only for the long weekend! So be sure to visit with a friend and share in a refreshing cup of Cold Brew Tea, whether you have plans to be indoors or out and about!

Tiger will turn your story of defying the odds into a personalised limited-edition Tiger bottle to showcase your personal courage. Visit https://yethereiam.tigerbeer.com/ and follow the simple steps

5th July 2022, KUALA LUMPUR – Being Asians, our courage to push forward is often held back by the fear of failure and judgment. Tiger Beer is no different. Before 1932, it was widely believed that you couldn’t brew beer in the Asian heat – beers at the time were of European origin. Yet Tiger defied the odds to create a lager, born in the streets of Asia, that is now world-acclaimed and Malaysia’s No. 1 beer[1].

With the same courageous spirit to overcome the odds, Tiger wants to empower Malaysians to pursue their passion with the #YetHereIAm campaign. Everyone has a story of defying expectations and showing personal courage – Tiger fans can now tell theirs with a custom-made image for social media, based on the brand’s iconic label design, and inspire others. To commemorate their spirit of not giving up while chasing their dreams, Tiger will turn their stories into personalised limited-edition Tiger bottles.

All they have to do is visit https://yethereiam.tigerbeer.com/, and follow a few simple steps to generate their customised label for the world to be inspired by their stories with the hashtag #YetHereIAm. All successful submissions will be entitled to redeem a personalised Tiger bottle for keepsake.

“Tiger is a brand that tirelessly champions individuals with potential and bold determination. As a true testament to what the brand stands for, the #YetHereIAm campaign encourages Malaysians to embody the spirit of Tiger, come forward and share their courageous story of challenging and defying the odds to achieve their passion. This campaign is apt as we continue to ROAR together in the Year of The Tiger, and UNCAGE unexpected possibilities,” said Joyce Lim, Marketing Manager of Tiger Beer Malaysia.

Besides the personalised limited-edition Tiger bottles, fans will get to enjoy exclusive promotions and giveaways during the campaign period too. From now until the end of July, exclusive Tiger Bum Bags are up for grabs. Fans who purchase two six-can-packs of Tiger Beer or Tiger Crystal from www.drinkies.my, will receive one bum bag while those who purchase a 24-can-pack will receive two bum bags. Meanwhile, at participating pubs and bars, those who purchase two sets of Tiger Beer or Tiger Crystal will walk away with one bum bag. Speaking of exclusive promotions, shoppers at hypermarkets and supermarkets can get their hands on a limited-edition pack (containing eight cans of Tiger Beer and two cans of Tiger Crystal)

Furthermore, to keep the momentum going in conjunction with the spirit of the Year of The Tiger, Tiger Beer also embarked on a journey to discover and reward upcoming talents through the Uncage Fund platform. With the proceeds gathered from the sales of ‘The Tiger Archives’, an exclusive NFT collection created in collaboration with Pestle Mortar Clothing (PMC), 30% of the sum will go towards supporting local musicians, artists, and street food chefs throughout the year. The Discord community will be voting for their preferred talents in July, and the winner will be revealed at the next NFT holders’ event held exclusively for the community.

For more details on the ongoing promotions and participating outlets, visit Tiger’s social media pages at www.facebook.com/TigerBeerMY and www.instagram.com/tigerbeermy.
