Costa Coffee has announced the addition of tea to its Costa Express machines across the UK.

This move expands the brand's offering, catering to the growing demand for quality tea on-the-go.

Tea is an integral part of UK culture, with Costa’s survey revealing that the average respondent drinks three cups a day. In response, Costa Express will now offer freshly brewed tea at over 7,000 self-serve machines nationwide, making it easier for consumers to enjoy a cup while commuting, travelling or during breaks.

Andrew Miller, express and corporate sales director UK&I at Costa Coffee, commented: “We know how much our customers value a great cup of coffee, and the same goes for tea – which is an integral part of daily life in the UK".

"We’re thrilled to expand our offering with the addition of tea to Costa Express machines nationwide, and its inclusion in our portfolio reflects our dedication to delivering the beverages our customers want, wherever they are. Whether it’s a tea to accompany a morning commute or a break during a busy day, Costa Express is making it easier than ever for people to enjoy their favourite brew on the move.” 

Tea will be available at selected Costa Express machines in high streets, petrol stations, travel hubs and other locations.
