Bo’s Coffee Celebrates 30 Years with ₱30 Coffee
Thirty years ago, Bo’s Coffee began with a simple mission—to share Philippine coffee and the stories behind it with more Filipinos. Today, as the homegrown coffee brand celebrates its 30th Anniversary, it invites customers to join a nationwide celebration filled with rewarding coffee moments and uniquely Filipino flavors.

At the heart of this year’s anniversary celebration is Caffeine Rush, one of the most anticipated traditions of Bo’s Coffee. For a limited time, customers can enjoy a P30 Iced Coffee on select Wednesdays and Fridays from June to July 2026.

Created as a thank-you to patrons and the community who have supported the brand throughout the years, the offer makes it easier than ever for both loyal guests and first-time customers to enjoy a cup of Bo’s Coffee. The promo is available exclusively through credit card, debit card, and e-wallet transactions, supporting Bo’s Coffee’s continued efforts toward digitalization and a more seamless customer experience through faster and more convenient cashless payments.

Launching nationwide is the ‘Lakbay Tasa’ Origin Flavors, headlined by the refreshing Buko Pandan Series, starting in June 8, featuring the Buko Pandan Brew and Buko Pandan Freeze. Inspired by one of the country’s most beloved desserts, the series brings together familiar Filipino flavors and Bo’s Coffee’s signature coffee craftsmanship. Complementing the beverage lineup are anniversary-exclusive creations, including the Mango Calamansi Cheesecake, Mango Calamansi Muffin, Trail Mix Cookies, and Coffee Cake—all inspired by flavors that evoke comfort, nostalgia, and local pride

The celebration continues with the Origin Flavors Regional Spotlight, a series of localized beverages and desserts inspired by iconic delicacies from different parts of the Philippines. Available in select regions, the program shines a spotlight on the communities, traditions, and flavors that make every destination unique.

Customers can look forward to regional-exclusive creations inspired by:
- Pili in Bicol
- Tupig in Pangasinan
- Moron in Leyte
- Espasol and Buko Pie in Laguna
- Durian across Mindanao
Each regional launch will happen throughout the anniversary season, allowing customers to discover flavors that celebrate the richness of Filipino culture one region at a time.

As new flavors and participating stores are announced, customers are encouraged to follow Bo’s Coffee’s official social media pages and communication channels for the latest updates on launch dates, availability, and regional-exclusive offerings.

More than a celebration of three decades, this a tribute to the communities, coffee farmers, partners, and customers who have been part of Bo’s Coffee’s journey.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Philippines Celebrates 23 Years with Heritage Walks Across Manila

As part of its 23rd anniversary celebration, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Philippines brought its Philippine-exclusive anniversary collection to life through a series of heritage walks held from May 22 to 24, 2026, celebrating Filipino culture, history, and community.

In partnership with WanderManila, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® invited members of its community to rediscover Manila through three curated heritage tours inspired by the brand’s 23rd Anniversary Collection: the Talâ Tour in Binondo, the Lakbay Tour in Intramuros, and the Pamana Tour in Quiapo.

More than guided city walks, the initiative reflected the stories behind the anniversary tumblers while encouraging participants to connect more deeply with Manila’s cultural heritage. Through the experience, guests were invited to slow down, rediscover local history, and appreciate the stories that continue to shape Filipino identity today.

The Talâ Tour explored Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown, highlighting the district as a living archive of culture, resilience, and transformation. Guests visited Escolta and the historic First United Building, discovering how stories are preserved not only in written history, but also through architecture, tradition, and generations of lived experiences.

Inspired by the spirit of exploration, the Lakbay Tour guided guests through the historic streets of Intramuros, where every street and structure carries the weight of Philippine history. Participants visited iconic landmarks such as San Agustin Church and Fort Santiago, immersing themselves in stories of heritage, resilience, and national identity.

Meanwhile, the Pamana Tour highlighted the enduring cultural richness of Quiapo, where history remains deeply woven into everyday life. The tour emphasized that pamana, or heritage, is something continuously lived, shared, and passed on through generations. Guests explored landmarks including Plaza Miranda and Bahay Nakpil-Bautista while gaining a deeper appreciation for Quiapo’s vibrant community and traditions.

At the heart of the initiative was The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Philippines’ commitment to creating meaningful moments through its Caring Cup philosophy. Beyond celebrating 23 years of serving coffee and tea, the heritage walks honored the communities, stories, and shared experiences that continue to shape the brand today.

As The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Philippines continues its 23rd anniversary celebration, the heritage walks serve as a reminder that every cup, every place, and every shared experience carries a story worth remembering.

CBTL PH Celebrates 23 Years with Philippine-themed Anniversary Collection and the Return of the Dry Americano Series

For 23 years, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Philippines has been part of everyday moments and meaningful connections shared over every cup. This year, CBTL Philippines marks its milestone anniversary with A Story in Every Cup — a special celebration running from May 26 to August 16, 2026, featuring limited-edition collectible tumblers, the return of its viral Dry Americano beverages, and a meaningful initiative that gives back to the community.

The 23rd Anniversary Collection

At the heart of the anniversary celebration is the launch of the 23rd Anniversary Collection, a trio of Philippine-exclusive tumblers inspired by Filipino stories, culture, and identity. Guests can redeem the limited-edition collection with just 12 stamps, making it even easier to bring home a meaningful keepsake from CBTL Philippines’ 23rd anniversary.

The collection features three unique tumbler designs: Lakbay, Talâ, and Pamana. Each represents stories rooted in Filipino experiences and values.

Lakbay, which means “journey,” captures snapshots of Filipino culture and landscapes, celebrating the beauty of travel and everyday discovery.

Talâ, inspired by the act of documenting memories and moments, reflects the stories and experiences shared through the years.

Meanwhile, Pamana, meaning “heritage” or “legacy,” pays tribute to the roots, traditions, and enduring connections that continue to shape the CBTL community today.

The Dry Americano Series

Adding to the celebration is the much-awaited return of the Dry Americano Series, featuring two fan-favorite flavors alongside an exciting new addition. First introduced last year, the Dry Americano quickly became a viral TikTok favorite for its bold espresso-forward profile paired with creamy indulgence — offering coffee lovers a refreshing twist on the classic Iced Americano.

Returning this year are the well-loved Dry Vanilla Americano and Dry Double Chocolate Americano, alongside the new Dry Hazelnut Chocolate Americano, a decadent blend of dark chocolate and hazelnut flavors topped with creamy half-and-half.

Guests can earn stamps from participating beverage purchases, including the Dry Americano Series, to complete the 12-stamp collection and redeem the anniversary tumblers.

Giving Back Through Every Cup

Beyond the anniversary offerings, the celebration also supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds from the anniversary collection will help fund the U-Go Scholar Grant implemented by the Ayala Foundation, which supports young women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in pursuing higher education.

For CBTL Philippines, the anniversary is more than a milestone — it is a celebration of the people, stories, and connections that continue to inspire every cup shared along the way.

Thyme & Again Brings Mediterranean Comfort with a Filipino Twist to Quezon City
There is a new reason to brave the Congressional Avenue traffic, and it feels exactly like coming home. There is a special kind of comfort that only comes from a kitchen run by a family. It is in a way the table is set, the generosity of the portions, and that unmistakable feeling that you are a guest in someone’s home rather than just a customer at a table. Located on the second floor of Barrington Place along Congressional Avenue, this charming restaurant isn’t just about serving good food. It’s about creating a space where people can gather, linger, and return to time and again. Behind Thyme & Again is a family story, first and foremost that feels close to home.

Built on Family, Fueled by Passion

While the names behind the menu might be veterans in the food industry, this isn’t another cookie-cutter franchise. This is personal. Thyme & Again is the culmination of 15 years in the industry for Desiree Benipayo. After years of managing well-known franchises, she has finally stepped out to create something entirely her own. Beside her are her daughters, Dana and Audrey, making this a true family-run venture built from the ground up. It is a neighborhood sanctuary designed for slow mornings, long lunches, and dinners that linger well past the final course.

Mediterranean Flavors with a Local Heartbeat

So, what exactly is ‘Mediterranean food with Filipino feels’? At this kitchen, it means taking the vibrant, sun-drenched culinary traditions of the European coast, think Spain, Italy, and France and filtering them through a local palate. It isn’t about being “fusion” for the sake of being trendy; it it about cooking the way many Filipino families do: with warmth, generosity, and zero borders.

The menu is built for discovery. You’ll find familiar Mediterranean flavors, but they are seasoned with that distinct Filipino soul that makes every bite feel approachable. These are plates designed to be shared, passed around the table, and discussed over a second (or third) helping. Whether you are craving the brightness of a Spanish coastal dish or that hearty comfort of an Italian classic, there is a subtle local sensibility here that makes the food pop.

More Than Just a Clever Name

You might be wondering about the name. Aside from the obvious pun (who doesn’t love a good herb joke?), Thyme and Again represents the cycle of a good meal. The team uses real herbs and real warmth to create the kind of experience that makes you want to return “thyme” and again.

And it isn’t just the food that keeps you grounded. The playlist isn’t your typical generic cafe lo-fi. It is curated to sound like a family vacation soundtrack, timeless, cross-generational tracks that your lola, your parents, and your Gen Z siblings can all vibe to. It’s the perfect backdrop for those long, slow weekend brunches that accidentally turn into early dinners.

In a city full of flashy, fast-paced dining, Thyme and Again feels like a much-needed exhale. It matters because it fills that gap between “fine dining” and “fast casual.” It is the perfect destination for:

Relaxed Weekend Brunches: Where the pace is slow and the light is perfect for a lazy morning.

Meaningful Midweek Lunches: A place to escape the office hum and enjoy a meal that feels intentional.

Celebratory Dinners: When you want a venue that feels special but remains entirely approachable and warm.

Celebrate Mom at Thyme & Again

With Mother’s Day happening tomorrow, there is truly no better time to visit a restaurant that was built on the bond between a mother and her daughters. Why not treat Mom to a meal that feels like a warm embrace? It is the perfect setting to celebrate the woman who taught you the true meaning of a home-cooked meal.
- Where to find them: 2F Barrington Place, 27 Congressional Avenue, Quezon City.
- Stay updated: Follow Thyme and Again PH on Instagram and Facebook for a look at their latest dishes and kitchen stories.
Make your reservations now and head over to Congressional Avenue this weekend. It is time to experience a neighborhood favorite that celebrates family with every single plate.

Anyhow Inasal Serves Smoky Twist on a Comfort Favorite with Limited-Time Grilled Cheesy Salmon for Mother’s Day

Baked cheesy salmon has long been a go-to comfort dish for family celebrations—but this Mother’s Day, Anyhow Inasal is giving it a fresh, flame-grilled upgrade.

Introducing the Grilled Cheesy Salmon, a limited-time offering that takes the familiar richness of baked cheesy salmon and elevates it with the bold flavors of the grill.

It’s a flavorful twist designed for sharing—perfect for families looking to make Mother’s Day a little more special without the stress of cooking.

Each serving is good for 4 to 6 people and comes with a side of mixed vegetables, making it a convenient, ready-to-serve centerpiece for intimate gatherings at home.

Available for a limited time only, the Grilled Cheesy Salmon can be ordered from all Anyhow Inasal branches: Baltao, Comembo, Mandaluyong, San Marcelino, and Santa Ana. With limited daily production to maintain quality, advance orders are highly encouraged.

CHAGEE Marks International Tea Day with an Invitation to Explore the Beauty of Tea

Tea is something most Filipinos have known their whole lives. It is in our mornings, our conversations, our quieter moments. While it feels familiar, there is so much more to learn about tea: the regions it comes from, the seasons that shape it, the generations of craft that bring it to the cup.

This May, CHAGEE invites you to explore the world of tea making. To welcome International Tea Day on May 21, CHAGEE Philippines is marking the occasion with a new jasmine oolong tea, and a series of experiences designed to bring people genuinely closer to tea culture.

A New Tea, and the Story Behind It

On May 8, CHAGEE introduces the BO·YA Jasmine Tieguanyin Tea series, the newest addition to its BO·YA Jasmine series.

The BO·YA name carries a two-thousand-year-old story of genuine connection that echoes through the ages, featuring Boya, a master musician whose playing was so deeply felt that only one person, a humble woodcutter named Ziqi, could fully understand it. Their bond became one of Chinese culture’s most enduring expressions of genuine connection: the idea that something made with real honesty will always find the people who appreciate it. It is a hope that runs through every cup in the BO·YA series: That somewhere out there, for every blend crafted with care, there is someone who will pick it up, take a sip, and simply understand.

The new drink opens with a gentle front note of jasmine before the distinct orchid character of Tieguanyin, a prized variety of oolong, slowly follows. This builds the first sip into a taste that is floral, layered, and quietly complex. The Tieguanyin oolong base is sourced from the high-altitude gardens of Southern Fujian, China, while the jasmine flowers come from Hengxian in Guangxi, known in the world for producing jasmine of exceptional quality and lasting fragrance.

BO·YA Jasmine Tieguanyin Milk Tea: PHP 159 (R) / PHP 175 (L)

BO·YA Jasmine Tieguanyin Brewed Tea: PHP 130 (R) / PHP 145 (L)

Something to Savour Beyond the Cup

Alongside the new drink, CHAGEE has designed a small collection of tea-inspired merchandise for the season, including a Tea-Scented Charm, a Tea Icons Keychain, and the Tea Roots Tumbler, each drawing from the natural elements and imagery behind CHAGEE’s teas. Selected merchandise will be available bundled with BO·YA Family drinks in-store during the launch period.

[From L-R] CHAGEE International Tea Day Merchandise: Tea Roots Mini Tumbler, Tea-Scented Charm, & Tea Icons Keychain

And for those who want to go a little deeper, CHAGEE will also be releasing a specially curated publication dedicated to the culture and heritage of tea, available at select stores from May 21. More details to follow closer to International Tea Day.

Experiencing What Makes a Good Cup of Tea

To fully immerse Pinoy tea lovers in the process of tea-making, CHAGEE will launch a Sip and Learn Tea Workshop on May 11, where invited guests will be guided by a Tea Master through the aromas, flavours, and stories that make a great cup of tea. It will be a first step, and an intentional one: a reminder that the story of tea is best experienced in person, and that there is more to come for those who are curious.

A second session – which the public can join by signing up through the CHAGEE app – will follow at SM North EDSA on May 21, and a final session at Robinsons Galleria on June 6, so there are plenty of opportunities to take part throughout the season.

On International Tea Day itself, CHAGEE is also inviting Filipinos to slow down and take a real tea break. From May 18 to 21, during meryenda time at 3 PM, the first 100 customers at every CHAGEE Philippines store can claim a complimentary Regular BO·YA Jasmine Tieguanyin Milk Tea. It is CHAGEE’s way of marking the day simply and sincerely: with a good cup of tea, shared with as many people as possible.

“Most people drink tea every day, and that is exactly why we think it is worth pausing to understand it a little better,” said Philip Dee, Tea Master at CHAGEE Philippines. “When you stop and look closely, what you find is extraordinary. Centuries of knowledge, farmers who understand their soil the way musicians understand their instruments, and a quiet kind of craft that most of the world never gets to see. International Tea Day is a meaningful reminder of all of that, and an invitation for all of us to slow down, pay attention, and discover what has always been in the cup.”

CHAGEE’s International Tea Day offerings are available across all Philippine stores from May 8. For those who have ever been curious about what makes a great cup of tea, this May is a good time to find out. For more information, visit CHAGEE Philippines FB, IG, TikTok, or download the CHAGEE App.
