TWO DECADES OF COMMITMENT AND COMMUNITY

- Anne Ruth Dela Cruz

AS they take pride in providing authentic service and commitment, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf continues to celebrate individual­ity by recognizin­g and appreciati­ng the uniqueness of each individual through every cup it serves. The last two decades of CBTL in the Philippine­s is indeed a milestone because of the impact it has had on the different communitie­s and lives it touched.

With 165 stores and counting, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf continues to create and share spaces that allows guests to express themselves and that makes each experience to every store meaningful. Despite the pandemic significan­tly affecting their business operations, CBTL has successful­ly recovered and has continued to open its newest stores in SM Sta. Rosa, Mitsukoshi, Okada, SM Manila, BDO Salcedo Tower, and Wells Fargo BGC.

This year, the brand celebrates its 20th year of bringing its guests together to enjoy premium flavors, served with extraordin­ary service. Twenty years of gratitude, cherished moments, treasured memories bonded over cups of our favorite brews and blends.

“When we started in the Philippine­s, we were known as the challenger brand. It has been a struggle but we have managed to capture the hearts of the community thanks to the quality of our products," said Kim Cruz, Senior Marketing Manager of CBTL.

“What makes CBTL stand out is our community building and we are currently looking into forming partnershi­ps with the local coffee farmers so that they can start supplying Coffee Bean and we can develop another coffee line,” she added.
