When the day is long, make the coffee strong

HTeaO now offers a selection of premium coffee beverages featuring two distinct blends from Free Rein Coffee Company: Homestead and American Dirt

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HTeaO, the nation’s leading iced tea franchise, is now proudly serving a variety of coffee beverages that contain two of Free Rein Coffee Company’s premium grade blends: Homestead and American Dirt. These coffee beverages are now available at participating HTeaO locations, alongside an array of Free Rein products and merchandise including ground coffee, coffee pods, hats, drinkware, and more.

"We're thrilled to partner with Cole Hauser and the Free Rein Coffee Company team to introduce their great coffee at many of our HTeaO locations,” said Heath Nielsen, President of HTeaO. “Free Rein is a beverage concept that deeply aligns with our western roots and community values. We fell in love with their bold yet smooth blends, and we are confident that our customers will enjoy them too.”

One of these shared values includes honoring those that have dedicated themselves to taking care of people and the community. First responders in uniform have always been served for free in HTeaO locations, providing a strong alignment with Free Rein’s ongoing commitment to ‘serve those who serve’.

HTeaO will serve Free Rein’s American Dirt (dark roast) and Homestead (medium roast) in a variety of drip, latte, iced coffee, and espresso beverages, rolling out at participating locations throughout 2024.

“I’m looking forward to the partnership with HTeaO to share our smooth coffee with bold flavors with their customers,” said Cole Hauser, founder of Free Rein Coffee Company. “Our mission at Free Rein is to Serve Those Who Serve – giving back to military, veterans, first responders, nurses and teachers – and we’re proud that HTeaO supports our same vision.”

In addition to these new offerings, HTeaO is reintroducing classics like the Marfa Morning Latte, Liquid Gold Iced Coffee, and Horchata Iced Coffee, now using Free Rein coffee products. These beloved concoctions promise to tantalize taste buds and offer a better twist to your coffee experience.

"With our unwavering dedication to quality and community, we're enthusiastic about offering this exceptional coffee to our loyal fans and customers," adds Nielsen.
