The holiday season is upon us and with it comes joyful Christmas carols and happy reunions with loved ones. It also marks the end of another year. As we ink the final pages of 2016, we look forward to the possibilities that lay ahead of us.

As the Christmas season approaches and a new year draws near, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® reminds us that life is not about what we amass for ourselves, but about how we can share our gifts, talents, and time with others. There is no better way to share the warmth of the season than by generously pouring into the cups of others, especially the cups of those in need.


The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® hopes to remind everyone that life is about what we can contribute to the world during this #SeasonOfGiving. It’s what we share from our genuine hearts to make a difference in other people’s lives. With the 2017 Giving Journal,  we hope to inspire you to begin writing your Giving Journey.


From October 22 onward, customers can already begin their Giving Journey as the collecting of stamps for the 2017 Giving Journal commences in all The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores.

Each stamp card consists of 12 circles with corresponding purchased drink assignments. All 12 stamps must be accumulated in one stamp card to claim the journal. A box of CBTL™ capsules earns the customer two stamps, while any CBTL™ Single Serve Beverage System purchase automatically allows a customer to claim the 2017 Giving Journal.

Available in 4 colors—rose, turquoise, purple and gray, the Giving Journal is a useful planner and a medium for generosity where you can begin writing the beautiful story of your own Giving Journey.


Throughout the pages of the 2017 Giving Journal, every individual will find inspiration to brew their best year yet by becoming the best version of themselves, by making a positive difference in the world and living a life full of love and service for others.

The Real LIFE Foundation, an organization committed to serving the poor through education, character development, and community service. Centered on supporting Real LIFE’s hopeful mission, every Giving Journal redeemed throughout the holiday season will enable the dreams of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®’s scholars to take flight. By supporting their educational needs, you bring them one step closer to achieving their goals, enabling their dreams to take flight.
