A merry partnership between The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) and Mynt lets you scan to pay for your CBTL purchases via the GCash app, purchases like the new CBTL journal and new holiday drinks (more on these later). From Oct 24-28, GCash users can scan the merchant’s QR code to pay with the GCash app to enjoy P100 discount at CBTL (for a mininum purchase of PHP115.00). Speaking of holiday “events”, CBTL will launch on Oct 27 their 2019 Giving Journal (the theme this year is Generosity) and two new drinks with a Pinoy holiday feel (Ube Ice Blend and Chocolate Nut Ice Blend). The 2019 Giving Journal features four new designs (such as the new CBTL logo on the cover), and its proceeds go to the Real Life Foundation, a non-profit org that sends out-of-school youths to learning institutions.
CBTL is also one of the first coffee chains in the country to accept Alipay QR payments, which allows international customer with Alipay app on their phones pay without cash. Right now, this feature is available in selected branches and will be rolled to other brands this year.
