Tealive Revvs Up F1 Season with ‘High-Octane’ Orange Coffee
Tealive is putting a citrus twist on coffee this October with its new limited-time Orange Coffee series, launched to coincide with the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix weekend at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).

Available nationwide from 1 October to 29 October 2026, the new series features two drinks — Orange Americano and Orange Latte — combining coffee with sweet orange juice for a refreshing and unconventional take on the daily caffeine fix.
The launch also comes as Tealive looks to strengthen its position in Malaysia's growing coffee market. While the brand is widely associated with tea, coffee has become an increasingly important part of its beverage offering, giving customers more reasons to choose Tealive beyond its signature tea-based drinks.
A Three-Country Coffee Blend
What makes the Orange Coffee series particularly interesting is the coffee blend behind it.
Tealive has combined beans from China, Ethiopia and Indonesia to create a blend designed to complement the citrus component. The formulation consists of 60% Yunnan beans, 20% high-altitude Ethiopian arabica and 20% Sumatra-grown Mandheling beans.

Each origin contributes a different characteristic. The Yunnan beans provide chocolate depth, the Ethiopian arabica brings bright fruit notes, while the Sumatra Mandheling contributes a smooth finish.
The resulting blend is intended to move from fruity to nutty notes, creating a more complex cup than a straightforward single-origin profile.
That complexity is important because orange and coffee are an unexpected pairing. The fruity acidity of orange needs a coffee with enough depth to balance it, while the coffee needs sufficient brightness to work naturally with the citrus.
Orange Americano vs Orange Latte
The Orange Americano takes the bolder route, combining coffee with sweet orange juice. The result is designed to be refreshing, with natural acidity and fruity notes complementing the coffee.
The Orange Latte, meanwhile, adds milk to the equation. Espresso, orange juice and milk create a creamier alternative for those who prefer a softer coffee experience.
In simple terms, the Americano is the more refreshing and citrus-forward choice, while the Latte offers a creamier interpretation of the same concept.
For adventurous coffee drinkers, both provide something different from the usual caramel, chocolate or vanilla coffee combinations.
Timed for International Coffee Day and F1
Tealive is rolling out the Orange Coffee series on 1 October, coinciding with International Coffee Day, giving the launch a natural coffee-focused platform.
But the brand is also taking the campaign directly to Formula 1 fans.
A special Tealive Orange Coffee pop-up will be located at SIC Mall from 2 to 4 October, giving visitors to the Sepang International Circuit an opportunity to try the new drinks during the F1 weekend.
The connection is fitting. Formula 1 is all about speed, energy and the pursuit of something different, while Tealive is positioning Orange Coffee as a fresh and unexpected caffeine experience.
During the F1 weekend, customers who purchase any two Orange Coffee drinks at the Tealive pop-up will also receive limited-edition Tealive merchandise, while stocks last.
Tealive Wants More Coffee Lovers
According to Bryan Loo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Loob Holding Sdn Bhd, coffee is already part of Malaysians' daily routines, and Tealive wants to give customers more choices when they visit its outlets for coffee.

The Orange Coffee series is therefore not simply a seasonal flavour experiment. It forms part of Tealive's wider effort to remain relevant across different beverage occasions.
Loo also highlighted the company's continued focus on innovation across FMCG and ready-to-drink products, sparkling beverages and menu development, with Orange Coffee representing the latest expression of that approach.
For a brand with more than 1,000 outlets worldwide and a customer base of more than five million consumers per month in Malaysia, even a limited-time beverage can become a significant way to introduce consumers to a new category.
A New Reason to Visit Tealive
The Orange Coffee launch shows how Tealive is looking beyond its traditional tea identity.
Coffee drinkers now have a choice between a citrusy Orange Americano and a creamy Orange Latte, while curious customers get an opportunity to explore an unusual coffee-and-orange pairing.
The nationwide availability from 1 October to 29 October also means consumers do not have to attend the F1 weekend to try the drinks.
For those heading to Sepang, however, the SIC Mall pop-up adds another reason to stop by, especially with limited-edition merchandise available during the activation.
Whether the combination of orange and coffee becomes your next favourite or simply satisfies your curiosity, Tealive is certainly giving Malaysians something different to sip on this October.
Conclusion
Tealive is revving up the coffee scene with its limited-time Orange Coffee series, bringing together coffee beans from Yunnan, Ethiopia and Sumatra with the bright character of orange.
Available from 1 to 29 October 2026, the range includes Orange Americano and Orange Latte, while F1 fans can experience the drinks at the special SIC Mall pop-up from 2 to 4 October.
With a three-origin coffee blend, an International Coffee Day launch and a Formula 1-inspired activation, Tealive is clearly putting coffee innovation into the fast lane.
