Wanna feel old? Friends is turning 25 this year—and our love for the show is as strong as it was day one. Apparently, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf feels the same way.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, The Coffee Bean is debuting special coffee and tea products inspired by the show. We honestly can’t think of a better collaboration for Friends. Who among us has not dreamed of whiling away the day sitting with Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Ross in Central Perk, chatting and laughing and drinking perhaps too much caffeine? Now, you can get one step closer to making that dream a reality as you sip The Coffee Bean’s special tailor-made products and binge the episodes that seem to be playing in syndication on every channel, 24/7.
Starting July 31, The Coffee Bean’s online shop and retail stores nationwide will sell themed coffees and teas you can make at home through the end of the summer. They include:
Central Perk Medium Roast: This “perfectly balanced” coffee has a nutty aroma and smooth, sweet finish.
Central Perk Dark Roast: This one is rich and aromatic with sweet, chocolatey undertones that “pack a punch.”
Central Perk Tea: This is a freshly steeped black tea with bright citrus.
You can pour them into one of the to two Friends mugs in the Coffee Bean online shop that any Friends fan would be remiss to not add to their collection. One says, “We were on a coffee break,” and the says, “How you brewin’?”
In addition to brewing your own dose of Central Perk at home, you’ll have to make sure to get to a Coffee Bean by you to try one of the themed beverages they’ll be serving from July 31st to August 27th.
The Joey: This is a mango cold brew tea that makes us think of how much Joey loved sweet things, like jam. “Remember when you where a kid and your Mom would drop you off at the movies with a jar of jam and a little spoon?” he asks in the third episode of season three. Like, no, but we would like to be dropped off to watch a movie with this tea.
The Monica: The Monica is a “midnight mocha” cold brew. It has rich, dark chocolate syrup and is “perfectly” balanced between coffee and chocolate notes for perfectionists like the lean, mean cleaning machine, herself.
The Rachel: How perfect for Rachel Green is a matcha latte? This beverage not only matches Rachel’s last name in a literal sense, but it’s effortlessly trendy without sacrificing its good taste—which is almost more Rach than a certain generation-defining haircut.
The Ross: Ross gets a classic flat white, which really nails the reliably sweet and supportive boyfriend he is to Rachel when he’s not, you know, sputtering about The Break. ChewBoom says this one is sweet and velvety, featuring freshly pulled espresso shots with lightly aerated milk.
The Chandler: For Chandler, there’s a caramel coconut latte. Coffee Bean says, “It won’t be hard to commit to this drink.” We see what you did there, Coffee Bean. It has creamy coconut and toasted caramel mixed in with espresso. Can that sound any more delicious?
The Phoebe: This one is a cookies 'n' cream blended ice drink, made with espresso, sweet and creamy vanilla, and chocolate cookie pieces. While it is not a recipe passed down to Phoebe’s grandmother by Nestle Toll House, it honestly sounds even better.
Happy 25th anniversary to Friends! And happy coffee- and nostalgia-filled summer to us!
