The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (often shortened to "Coffee Bean" or CBTL) is an American coffee shop chain founded by Herbert Hyman and his wife Mona in Los Angeles in 1963. In 1987, an employee mixed ice, coffee extract and chocolate powder in a blender, leading to the company's signature Ice Blended drinks. In 1996, the Hymans sold the Asian franchise rights to Singaporean brothers Victor and Sunny Sassoon, who introduced gourmet coffee to Singapore and the rest of Asia.
