Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf: Sweet Teas Open House 2016




Summer is here and so is CBTL's new Sweet Teas. It's the new summer drink with the sweetness of fruit. Swirl rewards card holders got to try this for free from 11 AM to 1 PM today, a day ahead of everyone else. It will be available to others starting tomorrow, April 4, 2016.



Today, I got to try the Pear Berry Ice Blended drink. It's a little refreshing sweetness (but not too sweet) to cool you down from the summer heat. BERRY-licious and PEAR-rific indeed. See, it already got me thinking about fruit puns. Passion Fruit and Red Orange flavors are also available. They also have these over ice.




Also tried the Pistachio Pound Cake Slice today. A compact cake slice topped with cream and pistachios.


Just a little note, I liked the spring inspired design of the tray's paper mat.

Baskin Robbins: Ice Cream for 3, coming right up!




Want to cool down or simply just want to enjoy the afternoon? Ice cream can be an answer to both. We visited Baskin Robbins in BGC to finally get a taste of their ice cream after years of absence in the country.



Decision time...There were many flavors on display.



Scooping up! We chose Pistachio Almond, Jamoca Almond Fudge, and Love Potion #31.



We ordered a triple regular scoop ice cream. I just felt like a kid holding this big bowl of ice cream. An excited and happy kid. (P.S. I shared this with 2 other people)

The ice cream tends to stick to the plastic spoon. That explains the crater in my pistachio scoop - where a plastic spoon used to be. I can't smoothen it out since somehow more ice cream just sticks. Is this a sign of creamy ice cream? Thus, we proceed to tasting.


Pistachio Almond

Occasional nuts and a not too sweet ice cream. Perfect if you want to have a little bite in your ice cream. One of the more common flavors in the market but with an added treat (almonds).


Jamoca Almond Fudge

When you can't decide between coffee and ice cream. It has that coffee flavor with ribbons of chocolatey syrup.


Love Potion #31

Raspberry filled chocolate hearts and white chocolate and raspberry ice cream. I think this one was the sweetest because of the chocolate hearts. The hearts weren't too few nor too many. I almost always get a piece every spoonful but it did not overpower the ice cream. The tart-berry taste went well in the mix.

What I liked about the three is that its sweetness is not super super sweet. Sometimes a super sweet food makes me feel like my throat is going to itch and I need to flush it down with water. But for these three, it was nothing like that. Just ice cream eating time :)
