We used to be addicted to their Malibu Dream Ice Blendeds. But lately, free is our beverage of choice. Wednesday is not only National Crossiant Day, but Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL for those texting) will toast their 50 year anniversary with one hot deal: FREE coffee or tea!
In addition to the special, their Director of Tea (We want that job!), David Decandia, will conduct a live chat on their Facebook page at 11 a.m., PST. What scorching questions will folks ask him? We want to know how they plan to counter Starbucks' plans to open a chain of tea shops. If you're more focused on the prize, we've got the all-important disclaimer coming up.
