Meet the new Tim Tam

tim tamArnott’s Tim Tam has released a new ‘adults-only’ flavour, Three Bean.

At the same time as releasing its new Tim Tam, Arnott’s has also introduced a limited-edition tin with biscuits included, to mark 150 years since the establishment of Arnott’s.

The Three Bean Tim Tam is a mix of ground coffee, vanilla and cocoa beans dipped in dark chocolate.

Arnott’s say it made the new flavour to meet Australia’s growing love for coffee. The biscuits are available now for a limited-time and is sold exclusively through Woolworths supermarkets.

The Three Bean Tim Tam has a recommended retail price of $3.49 for 165 gram packet containing nine biscuits.

The limited edition tin to celebrate Arnott’s’ 150th birthday is a modern take on Arnott’s well-known traditional biscuit tin design. The new tin is red in colour and features the Arnott’s parrot logo.

Every tin comes with 2 packets of 250 gram Scotch Fingers and a 200 gram ‘Nice’ packet.

The recommended retail price for the tin is $10. It is currently available at Woolworths and independent supermarkets for a limited-time only.
