Since 1963 weve been passionate about serving our customers the best coffees and teas from around the world. Today, throughout our organization, and our hundreds of locations around the world, we remain committed to our original vision of quality and customer service.

In 1963 Herbert B. Hyman started The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®. His dedication to finding and serving the best coffee and tea in the world made him the founding father of gourmet coffee in California.

Now, over 40 years later, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has grown into one of the largest privately-owned, family-run coffee and tea companies in the world. Along the way, The Bean, as it is affectionately known, has become the model for a successful coffee and tea company.
