CBTL’s The Giving Journal 2016

As a kid, nothing beats the feeling of receiving. But as we grow older, we realize that he best feeling in the world comes from giving. But why choose between receiving and giving when you can enjoy both with CBTL’s The Giving Journal.

Every year, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf invites its patrons to Brew Your Best Year with The Giving Journal. And this year is no different. With the Holiday 2016 Theme #GiveFlavorfully, CBTL hosted its first ever Holiday Launch in Davao City.

The event’s highlight is the launch of The Giving Journal 2016. The Giving Journal is named as such because a portion of the proceeds of your CBTL purchases go to a special cause.

CBTL has partnered with the Real LIFE Foundation to support the educational needs of the less fortunate. Since it has launched The Giving Journal in the Philippines in 2011, CBTL has sponsored 38 university scholars. Of the 28, 13 have already graduated. These students have been given the chance to fulfill their dreams and the dreams of their families.

The Giving Journal is a token that reminds CBTL patrons that they are part of CBTL’s efforts to help the community. And through The Giving Journal, CBTL shares the joy of giving this holiday season.

For the Holiday 2015 Season, CBTL has crafted beautiful journals which inspires its owners to be more and do more for themselves and for others. It contains pages for crafting your goals, your 2016 mantra, and even your travel plans for the year. Plus, every month, there is a simple theme that will inspire your to brew your best year.

The Giving Journal 2016 is available in four gorgeous colors: Mustard, Purple, Tan, and Tiffany Blue.

The Giving Journal Mechanics

You only need to purchase 12 drinks to complete a stamp card and redeem The Giving Journal. Here are the complete mechanics:

  1. A minimum single-receipt purchase of a regular or large sized Original Ice Blended®, Espresso/Coffee-based, or Tea-based Beverage, Hot Chocolate/Hot Vanilla or CBTL™ capsules qualifies a customer to get a stamp card.
  2. Each card consists of 12 circles with corresponding purchased drink/item assignments. These are as follows:

    (1) Holiday Featured Beverage (Winter Dream Tea Latte or Toffee Nut, regular or large)
    Any (8) Original Ice Blended®, Espresso/Coffee-based or Tea-based Beverages, or Hot Chocolate/Hot Vanilla

    (1) Box of CBTL™ capsules (any flavor) = 2 stamps
    (1) CBTL™ Single Serve Beverage System (Kaldi, Contata and or Desto) purchase automatically allows the customer to claim his/her 2016 Giving Journal

  3. Stamp card must always be presented UPON PURCHASE so that a circle may be stamped whenever its corresponding product assignment is purchased.
  4. Once all 12 circles are stamped and completed IN ONE STAMP CARD, customer will be able to claim the 2016 Giving Journal at any The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® branch nationwide. Combining of stamps cards is not allowed.
  5. The completed stamp card should be presented and surrendered to the branch where The Giving Journal will be claimed. The cashier will punch the stamp card to prevent reuse.
