MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 8, 2017 /CNW/ - In honour of Canada's 150^th Birthday, Second Cup, the only Canadian national specialty coffee company, is celebrating its Canadian pride by introducing a beautiful new artist-designed Canada 150 cup and a new ReCrafted Maple Latte featuring pure maple syrup from Quebec.

The Canada 150 cup is designed by world famous Canadian artist John Coburn and is a tribute to Canada's unique spirit, proud history and cultural identity. It reflects Second Cup communities from coast-to-coast by profiling 13 iconic Canadian landmarks and valued traditions including skating on the Rideau canal, RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina, Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Cape Spear Lighthouse in Newfoundland and Montreal's 375^th birthday recognition – to name only a few.

In keeping with the company's authentic Canadian roots, Second Cup's new ReCrafted Maple Latte features pure maple syrup from Quebec's Bernard Family, one of Canada's most famous maple syrup producers. Traditions that have been carefully handed down through generations of their family maintain the artful preparation of this exceptional, premium quality syrup delivering delicious maple goodness in every sip.

"Our customers and franchisees are very proud of Second Cup's Canadian heritage," says Vanda Provato, Vice President, Marketing and Category. "That's why we're celebrating Canada's 150^th Birthday with a new beautifully designed cup that reflects Second Cup communities and a recrafted customer favourite, the Maple Latte, made with real maple syrup from Quebec."

The new ReCrafted Maple lineup includes:

• Maple Latte: ReCrafted and better than ever combining the goodness of maple with Second Cup's signature Espresso Forte and velvety micro foam, topped with whipped cream and pure maple syrup drizzle
• Maple Frappe: Inspired by Maple Syrup Snow Candy, the Maple Frappe blends creamy and sweet maple notes with a fresh shot of Espresso Forte
• Shot of Real Maple Syrup: Add a shot of authentic Canadiana to any Frappe or Brewed Coffee

The Canada 150 cup and ReCrafted Maple lineup are available for a limited time in all Second Cup cafés beginning March 7, 2017.
