“We're thrilled to bring Oatly to customers of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, an iconic brand that cherishes a great coffee experience just like we do. With our roots in the US inextricably tied to the coffee channel, we are so happy to continue widening our presence in this space,” said Mike Messersmith, President, Oatly North America.
