Here’s Everything You Need to Know About CBTL Philippines’ Viral Dry Americano Series

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, chances are you’ve come across CBTL Philippines’ viral Dry Americano drinks. With thousands of coffee lovers sharing their first sips, reviews, and recommendations online, the limited-time series has quickly become one of the brand’s most talked-about beverages this season.

So what exactly is a Dry Americano? And why is everyone talking about it?

Unlike a traditional Iced Americano that’s diluted with water, CBTL Philippines’ Dry Americano skips the water altogether. The result is a richer, bolder coffee experience with a fuller espresso flavor. Each drink is then finished with creamy half-and-half and signature flavors that add just the right touch of sweetness, resulting in a smooth, indulgent beverage that still lets the espresso shine.

This year’s lineup features three flavors:

● Dry Vanilla Americano – A smooth blend of bold espresso, signature vanilla, caramel, and half-and-half.
● Dry Double Chocolate Americano – Rich espresso paired with caramel, dark chocolate, and creamy half-and-half for an indulgent chocolate finish.
● Dry Hazelnut Chocolate Americano – The newest addition to the series, combining dark chocolate and hazelnut notes with espresso and a creamy finish for an even more decadent twist.

Originally introduced last year, the Dry Americano quickly became a viral favorite among Filipino coffee lovers, praised for offering something different from the usual iced coffee experience. This year, the highly anticipated return of the fan-favorite flavors has once again fueled conversations across social media.

The Dry Americano Series is available for a limited time at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® stores nationwide as part of CBTL Philippines’ 23rd Anniversary celebration, A Story in Every Cup. Guests can also earn anniversary stamps with every participating Dry Americano purchase to redeem the brand’s limited-edition Philippine-exclusive anniversary tumblers.

Whether you’re discovering the trend for the first time or finally giving in to the hype, the Dry Americano Series proves that sometimes, the internet really does know a good cup of coffee when it sees one.

Why CBTL’s Spanish Latte Keeps Winning Coffee Lovers Over

Some flavors stick with you long after the first sip.

Since its debut in 2024, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Philippines’ Spanish Latte has become one of the brand’s most-loved beverages, winning over coffee lovers with its smooth espresso, creamy milk, and signature sweetness. Its familiar, comforting flavor has earned it a loyal following, making it a go-to order for guests across the country.

Now, CBTL is giving coffee lovers another way to enjoy the flavor that made the Spanish Latte a favorite in the first place.

Introducing the new Spanish Cold Brew, available for a limited time at CBTL stores nationwide. Inspired by the fan-favorite Spanish Latte, this latest cold brew coffee creation offers a richer, bolder take on the flavor guests already know and love.

At the heart of both drinks is the same signature Spanish flavor, now with two distinct coffee experiences. The Spanish Latte is light, creamy, and comforting. It’s the kind of coffee that’s easy to reach for any day of the week. The Spanish Cold Brew, on the other hand, is crafted with slow-steeped cold brew coffee and finished with condensed milk and half-and-half, creating a deeper, smoother cup with more pronounced coffee notes. It’s the same flavor everyone already loves, made for a different kind of coffee moment.

Whether you’re already part of the Spanish Latte fanbase or discovering the flavor for the first time, CBTL now gives you more ways to enjoy one of its signature coffee creations.

After all, every coffee craving is different. Some days call for something sweet and uplifting. Others call for something stronger and more layered. Now, you don’t have to choose between discovering something new and ordering a flavor you already love.

The Spanish Cold Brew is available for a limited time at CBTL stores nationwide alongside the brand’s fan-favorite Spanish Latte.

The flavor you love, now in more ways to find it. Find it in every sip.
