Seattle's Best Coffee rolls out new canned Iced Lattes in western U.S.
SEATTLE -- With the tagline "discover your inner morning person," Seattle's Best Coffee has debuted its new line of canned Iced Lattes in more than 10,000 major grocery, convenience and other retail stores throughout the western United States. Through the North American Coffee Partnership (NACP), a joint venture between parent company Starbucks Corp. and Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages, the new convenient, on-the-go coffees extend the reach of the Seattle's Best Coffee brand into the ready-to-drink (RTD) category.

"Seattle's Best plays an important role in the Starbucks [image-nocss] Corp.'s brand portfolio and the launch of the Iced Latte line demonstrates the brand's continued growth into new channels of distribution," said Michelle Gass, president of Seattle's Best Coffee. "The ready-to-drink category allows us to introduce the brand to new customers with the goal of delivering great coffee to busy consumers wherever they are."

The new Seattle's Best Coffee Iced Latte drinks are inspired by the handcrafted versions of guests' favorite lattes available in the cafes. The beverages are available in Iced Latte, Iced Vanilla Latte and Iced Mocha flavors and have a suggested retail price of $1.49 for a single can and $4.99 for a four-pack.

Consumers may purchase the coffees at major grocery, convenience and other retail stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
