Bohemian Brews at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Bohemian Brews at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. 

Luckily, I was invited to the formal opening of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf last night, June 1, 2012 at their Adriatico, Malate store.

It was drizzling and after two and a half hours of commuting plus walking, I finally reached the store. It's my first time to reach that area near Remedios Circle so I was so relieved to have finally reached the place without getting lost. I was welcomed by the event organizer. After signing the sheet, I was given my press kit.

He then ushered me inside. Upon entering, you will be welcomed by the staff at the drinking station. Various drinks are being offered by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at their Adriatico, Malate store.

I don't drink alcoholic beverages. The woman manning the drinking station offered me water and pointed the location of the water pitcher.

Brewfinder: Enthusiasm Over Coffee at the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Debuts Tom Epperson’s Latest Works.

 Looking for that perfect inspiration to help you in your photographic pursuits?

From May 30 to June 5, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf gives photography and art aficionados a real treat as it lets everyone marvel at Tom Epperson’s latest works in a special art show that will be held in Greenbelt 5. Entitled “Brewfinder: Enthusiasm Over Coffee at the CBTL,” the weeklong exhibition highlights the artist’s photographic prowess with a set that revolves around the concept of finding beauty in just about everything.

 

“This event is part of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s commitment to enrich passions, especially passions that are related with the arts,” shares Walden Chu, President of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. “Needless to say, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has always supported causes we believe can help improve society, and art does that. Art teaches us that perseverance and patience, and not just skills, are important when it comes to creating beautiful things. And this is something that The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and its employees live by.”

 

The six-piece set draws inspiration from Tom’s interest in dealing with erratic objects. “Lately, I have been working with mediums that are basically uncontrollable—a lot is left up to serendipity,” Tom said. “I like the idea of surprise, it reminds me of going into the darkroom in the days of analog and watching a print develop for the first time, it was magic. This is the same feeling I get when working with smoke.”

 

“Brewfinder: Photography Enthusiasm Over Coffee at the CBTL” is the first of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Taste Series, a seven-part pocket event series that highlights the brand’s single-serve system—the CBTL. Borne out of a partnership with the Italian design and espresso-making expertise of Caffitaly, CBTL raises the bar for coffee and tea aficionados by bringing the distinct Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf café experience into your home.

 

The CBTL. One touch. One perfect cup.
