BYAHILO and the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Experience
Posted by on April 17, 2008
Last night, I went to the tea appreciation workshop at the Coffee Bean and Teal Leaf Coffee Shop. The event was lead by the world’s tea master David de Candia who brought with him some select variety of tea where we had the privilege to be the first to try.
De Candia said that the world’s best tea leaves come from India, Sri Lanka, and China. We were able to closely examine tea leaves of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and we got to see the difference as compared to its competitor.
We also had a rare chance of doing the cupping process. It’s like a wine tasting, but with the tea. We got to sample at least four varieties of tea.
The last tea that we tried was winner, hands down. Sweet aroma, golden yellow color and the fruity flavour is just perfect for me. I love this variety. It’s just so me. This tea variety, called African Sunrise, will be available starting this June 2008. I was just so lucky to be one of the very first to try to warm beverage.
The friendly and warm people behind the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf have also unveiled a new promo for their loyal patrons. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf lovers will get a chance to win a trip to Los Angeles by sharing their most memorable experience while enjoying their warm cup of coffee or tea.
Share your story over a cup of coffee for a once in a lifetime American Vacation. Go and tell your Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Story!
Hi. I was just wondering if you have a photo of the African Sunrise tea? I wasn’t able to see it up close because we were a bit late. Thanks. =)
