UK-based wellness retailer Holland and Barrett has started trialling its first London-based H&Bean cafe concessions at its Victoria Street street store.

The new H&Bean cafe concession will offer a brand-new range of signature tea and coffees, hand-made by Holland and Barrett baristas.
Each drink has been created to “mirror the latest trending health and wellness ingredients with scientifically backed benefits”.
These benefits include focusing on supporting customer’s skin health, women’s health, brain health and relaxation.
The menu includes Calm Latte, a grassy, sweet and nutty drink, combining matcha, coconut milk, ashwagandha and vitamin B3 to support energy levels, and reduced tiredness and fatigue; Beauty Within Latte, this coffee infuses espresso, blue pea flower, coconut milk, tremella, collagen, selenium, vitamin A and inulin to support strong hair and skin, protect against cell damage and support the normal production of collagen and Digest Tea, this tea mixes H&B Apple Cider Vinegar with a digestive support tea bag.
The range is made with H&B’s Bespoke House Coffee Blend, organic and sourced from Peru, Guatemala and Ethiopia.
Each drink includes steamed plant-based milks, and no artificial/sugar additives.
For those that want something sweeter, there’s also a natural sweetener and Manuka honey on offer, as well as the option to add Lion’s Mane, Tremella, or Espresso to any drink.
