Tea Selections I Like from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Today I had a craving for CBTL’s Pure double chocolate Ice blended drink and it seems it’s one of the best sellers for I find other people in queue with me ordering the same drink. On other times, I grab a cup of Iced Mocha Latte or their special herb teas which is also excellent!  I also like Coffee Bean’s customer service.

Some of the tea blends I’d recommend: (Each tin can costs P545 PHP with 20 tea bags and comes with a complimentary choice cup of tea).  Best taken while hot before sleeping or after a day’s work to soothe you.

Ginseng Peppermint

A “healing” choice for those feeling dizzy and will surely rejuvenate any tired or stressed soul

How it Taste?: Light with a hint of mint.  Surprisingly it’s not bitter

Peach Ginger Green Tea

A limited edition flavor perfect for those who prefer fruit flavored teas

How it Tastes?: Natural taste of peach fruit with a faint hint of ginger.  Again no bitter taste.

African Sunrise

Quite a unique blend.  It may taste odd at first sip, however it is recommended to let the tea bag settle for 3 minutes before sipping to really appreciate the flavor.

 How it Tastes?: Roasted corn with mild sweetness of honey.

Japanese Cherry

Something I recently tried and quite good to take when you have a mild headache or uncomfortable stomach.  Must be the healing properties of green tea!

How it tastes? Light with a fusion of fruit and flower taste.  Cherry of course!

According to the staff, Strawberry Cream is also a popular choice I have yet to try.  Til the next tea adventure!

They also have the best tasting *Chicago Cheese Cake and you won’t be disappointed with their gourmet sandwiches.

*Why I love their Chicago cheesecake:  compared to other coffee/pastry shops (Starbucks, Jack’s Loft, Mc Cafe, The Coffee Beanery) CBTL’s cheesecake’s texture is fine and with the right consistency.  Flavor is not too sweet, and you can actually taste the cheese which I find missing in others with a hint of lemon juice.  Hope they maintain their quality, for it is absolutely the best so far!
