“We recognize Karachi’s undying love for coffee, and we want to give Karachites a space where they can rejuvenate while sipping on their favorite brews” he added.
Also sharing his thoughts on the event, Usman Yousuf said, “This branch marks the beginning of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Karachi. We couldn’t be more excited to launch it here and make a great addition to Karachiites’ list of favorite coffee spots.”
“We’re sure that the city will show The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf love. We invite the coffee lovers of Karachi to come and try it and not hesitate to recommend us to their friends and family,” he added.
“The residents of Clifton and PECHS should stay tuned for some great news in the next few weeks. Karachi has so much potential and we have just gotten started” added Usman Azam.
Born and brewed in Southern California since 1963, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is heralded as the oldest and largest privately-held specialty coffee and tea retailer in the world, with over 1200 stores across 31 countries today.
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is focused on sourcing and simmering the best 1% of Arabica beans, and serving more than 20 handpicked entire leaf teas, all from little ranches and private bequests in East Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.
