The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Hack

Now I don’t know if a lot of people actually know this but I just find this a good deal at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Bistro.

I used to order just a latte while I work at their branch in BGC but I was a little hungry today and ordered French Toast. It’s bread dipped in egg, milk, with powdered sugar, cinnamon, honey and drizzled with honey/Maple Syrup.

It only costs Php 190 I think. Around 200 for the tip lol. But it’s pretty much bang for the buck if you think about it. You see, they actually serve this with brewed coffee with milk and sugar on the side. So in a sense it’s a latte that you’re getting at the price of your usual coffee cup in CBTL.

So the next time you order, get the French toast! :)

This just made me happy today LOL, like I cheated a system hahaha!

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's "2015 Giving Journal"

The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's "2015 Giving Journal". All photos on this article are from CBTL and not mine.

I was supposed to be here and missed it big time. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf just recently held the launch of their "Giving Journal 2015" a few days ago in CBTL Bonifacio Global City. I know some of you probably have this in their system already to at least get one of their journals, but remember this has something to do with them giving proceeds to Real Life Foundation and other non government organizations in various communities. For those who don't know, Real Life Foundation funds LIFE scholarships where some of our  poor but deserving scholars are given material and financial assistance so that they could finish high school and college degrees. They also take part in doing Life Coaching so exemplar good record mentors help scholars with values and skills that they'll need to succeed out here in the real world. Life means Leadership, Integrity, Faith and Excellence. They have already been able to assist almost a thousand scholars and over 200 college graduates. This means your cup of coffee went a long way to service those who need it. 

Ana Gonzales headed the activity

Proudly showing their accomplished artworks using copper wires.

During the launch, Fashion blogger and entrepreneur Ana Gonzales facilitated a workshop making art out of copper wires. I've seen some of the things she's done like the personalized hangers she's sold in Bazaars and I wanted one for my closet. To make things more interesting with their brand new spanking giving journal, the CBTL people and Ana got them to think of a word that would best represent what they would wish for in the coming year, or perhaps a word that would best represent their personality and have that imprinted on the copper wires. 

Mind you, these guys were really serious about crafting. I've seen really good ones from the shots I got from CBTL.

Just look at Jeman of OrangemagazineTV and you can feel how painstakingly he's bending those copper wires to form his favorite word in the world, ORANGE. He's going to get this done and put it on his 2015 Giving Journal so it would look unique just the way he likes it.

Participants of the workshop began making their own artwork early. Different people, different meanings, different words went on their head. This 2015 is going to be better, and they're going to make that a reality by starting with the Giving Journal 2015. I do hope people getting their journals this year know the value of it. Together with their goal of having personal fulfillment, professional growth and stronger relationships, I hope they know that this small gesture of giving back and sharing with the community would make them feel so much better inside. 

The promo has started last October 25, 2014 and will run up until January 11, 2015. Promo ends 60 days after that. Make sure you get your 2015 Giving Journal now!

Say Hi To CBTL's New Professional Suite

Your coffee machines don't come this pretty. You might think this one's sloppy but NO, it's one of the most advanced coffee machines ever made from CBTL. They've been in the business for over 50 years and if they don't know what they're doing, who else would be doing a better job than them? =)

The one above is part of their new line. It's called Office One. As the name implies it's perfect for SOHO. Small and medium enterprises comprise about a third of our country's businesses and they consume around 3.1 cups per person, per day. Now imagine if that number is multiplied to hundreds of employees and not to mention spend about P150.00 for that too. What value would you get with an Office One then? Of course, you'll end up saving a ton. It's also easy to do because everything's done with ONE TOUCH.

They've got 14 different viands of espresso, coffee and teas to choose from.

It's also got Energy Saving mode so if you are not using the machine, you know how that works LOL.

Here's another new model from CBTL. They call this the Desto. It almost looks like a Mac tower with its modern design. It performs better and more efficient since you don't have to worry that much about the capsules. There's a container on the center that catches it once used. Pop in a new one and it's going to a chute that collects them all. Pretty smart, design wise.

The one in the back is the water container. You don't need to bother with plumbing in order to get coffee machines like these to work.

Plus they still have the classics, the first ones which they have also successfully released.

CBTL also can partner with businesses. If your restaurant or office needs world class, commercial grade coffee or tea, they can help you set up these machines and work with you.

These gorgeous ladies even got us to make our own concoctions using the espresso, tea and coffee pods from CBTL. We also got a little competitive since our drink will be pitted against others during the event.

We loved our fantasy drink and we got the judges to taste it. We won this round! =)

If you wish to have these machines and pods on your small office/home office, make sure to call the right people.
