For The L-o-v-e Of Coffee.

Howdy-doo-di-do.


I dropped by Seattle's tonight for my B&W Mocha fix. Too bad I got torn between Chai Tea Javakula and my ever-beloved B&W fave. Which apparently was a good thing because this barista (who is just one fine line away from cutie-cute-crush status), offered me with the now-returning Spiced Berry Javakula.


Having been used to Starbucks' Frappucinos for years, I am not really a fan of SBC's Javakulas. Really. I like their iced mochas more than their Frappe counter-parts. Anyhoo, even if I am doubtful of the *berry* concoction, I tried it out. And suddenly, almost-cutie barista offered me the SBC Love Card.

*I am finding that girl awkward. It bothers me.*

In his best effort to keep the conversation going, he tried hard to explain the card's mechanics. *And in the middle admitting he has not yet read the card.* Oh-kay... He got me with "FREE". Hahaha!

And it's not just any free. Freebies range from upsizes to pastry to drink customization to even another drink. Whee! And the best thing about this is when you availed all four, SBC's gonna give you this I <3 SBC pin which basically gives you Php5 discount/cup whenever you flash it during your purchase. Isn't that cool? :-) Four drinks = discounts every purchase. Woot woot!

Oh, I really heart you. Really.

I am trying to google this promo but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Apparently, their website is not yet updated and doesn't feature the promo yet. So I am taking the liberty of writing them down here. :-)

The Card.

To bring awareness of the comeback of SBC's Spiced Berry Mocha, SBC is issuing its customers the Seattle's Best Coffee Love Card. The Love Card features four coupons which customers can avail anytime from Feb. 10, 2010 to March 31, 2010.

The Coupons.

I <3 Spiced Berry:

Enjoy a FREE upsize on your Spiced Berry Mocha or Javakula order.

I <3 Add-ons:

Make your drink more personal with a FREE add-on* on any drink.

*(Add on: Whipped cream, syrup or espresso shot)

I <3 Pastries: (I wished there were like five of this. Haha!)

Enjoy a FREE pastry of the day with any medium or large drink order.

I <3 Friendship: (My personal favorite.)

Buy an SBC Javajelly and get another drink of the same or lesser value to share for FREE.

The Verdict.

I, personally, am pleased with the Spiced Berry Javakula. It did erase all my inhibitions towards SBC's berry concoctions. I think my B&W Mocha now has to share my heart with the Spiced Berry. Oh well, I will always have room for coffee in my heart.

Anyway, I find this promo really sensible. I feel like I am really gonna get something out of my money. (Or maybe this is still the Javakula's caffeine talking. Whatev.) I am actually accumulating Php1500 for my VIP card. Turns out I can get more than my VIP card with this promo because I think I will be able to finish three cards. Which means, I'm giving out an "I <3 SBC" pin by the end of the month. <3 :-D

The Love.

Finishing three promo cards means I'll have more than one pin so I'm giving out an "I <3 SBC" pin by the end of the month. <3 :-D And since I'm ranting about coffee love after all, I am giving out my extra pin, or pins if I am that addicted to coffee, to whoever can tell me which of the coupons they want love the most, and of course, why. There's actually no other mechanics so you are free to express your own love for coffee, but I am out to look for the best reason. To join, simply leave a comment about the coffee lovebug in your system in the comment box below. (See, that's really really simple!) And oh, please do not forget to leave your email address so I'll know how to contact you when you win one of my pins, k? :-) Last comment has to be in by the midnight of the 28th!

<3,

Patricia ;-)
