Schools

Save $1 off ANY beverage from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf when you donate to the CBTL school supplies drive

After pioneering an inaugural community initiative with the launch of the Orange County Blend Coffee and Orange County Sunshine Blend Tea, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® is launching a school supplies drive to further support their adopted schools.

From now through September 18, all Orange County (OC) The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® OC locations are collecting school supplies and invite customers to drop them off at any of the 24 OC locations.

To help drive collections, on September 12, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® will offer $1.00 off any beverage to any Orange County customer who donates supplies.

Additionally, on September 13 from 4 – 7pm during Fall Open House, each of the 24 The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® OC locations will donate the $1.00 donation per beverage served to their adopted school.

 In February, each of 24 The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® OC locations selected a nearby school that benefits from the sale of the OC Blend Coffee and Sunshine Blend Tea. The principal of each school, ranging from elementary through middle to high school, identified the greatest need of that particular school. The monies raised from the OC Blend Coffee and Tea will be utilized to help fill that gap. Those needs range from computer labs and art supplies through supporting Associated Student Body ASB and leadership development, to music and science programs.

The OC Blend Coffee and Tea will be available in stores until October 31, 2011, exclusively in Orange County.
