Tim Hortons has launched its retail lineup in South Korea as part of its strategy to broaden the brand’s reach.

The Canadian cafe brand’s retail coffee offerings include Original Blend whole bean coffee and fine grind coffee in five flavours: Original Blend, French Vanilla, Colombian, Maple, and Decaf.

“Like all Tim Hortons coffees, our bagged coffee retail products start with 100 per cent premium Arabica beans that are roasted with care and blended to perfection,” said Mieka Burns, VP of consumer packaged goods at Tim Hortons.

“Guests can already savour their favourite Tim Hortons beverages in restaurants and they can now complement that experience at home.”

Tim Hortons’ whole bean and fine grind coffee are available at the Lotte Mart grocery store in Gangdong Millennial Jungheung S-Class Complex, and will soon be available in department stores and online.

The Canadian coffee chain debuted in South Korea in 2023 and has quickly expanded to 16 locations.
