SINGAPORE, June 10, 2026

The drink that has attracted coffee lovers across several countries has finally arrived in Singapore—undiluted, unapologetic, and as bold as promised.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® has introduced the Dry Iced Americano, a coffee made with one simple but intentional idea: no added water.

Instead of diluting espresso with water, the drink keeps the espresso concentrated and finishes it with CBTL’s signature powders and flavors, creating a richer coffee experience.

A New Way to Enjoy an Americano

The concept is simple yet bold.

A traditional iced Americano is made by adding water to espresso before pouring it over ice.

The Dry Iced Americano skips that step completely.

Without added water, the drink becomes:

* more intense
* more flavorful
* a completely different coffee experience

The drink is available in two signature flavors:

* Salted Caramel
* Chocolate

Both are designed to complement the concentrated espresso with CBTL’s signature powders and drizzles.

From CBTL

“At CBTL, we are always looking for ways to innovate while staying true to great coffee. The Dry Iced Americano is a simple idea—remove the water and let the espresso take center stage. Launching in Salted Caramel and Chocolate, the beverage offers customers a bold yet approachable coffee experience.”

— Chien Chien Lin

What Is a Dry Iced Americano?

The word “dry” refers to the absence of added water.

Hot espresso and flavored powder are poured directly over ice, causing the coffee to cool instantly.

This “flash chilling” creates a drink that is:

* colder
* more concentrated
* richer in flavor

The flavor profile is different from that of a conventional iced coffee.

The Dry Iced Americano first became popular in the United States and has since spread across Asia and the Middle East, attracting attention wherever it is introduced.

Why Singapore?

Singapore’s café culture has grown rapidly over the past decade.

Coffee drinkers are increasingly knowledgeable and eager to try new ideas.

The Dry Iced Americano arrives at a time when customers are looking for something different—something that speaks for itself with the very first sip.

Interest in the drink has also grown naturally through social media, where baristas, coffee enthusiasts, and everyday customers have shared their first impressions.

As one of Asia’s most digitally connected markets, Singapore is well positioned to continue that conversation.
