The CBTL Charcoal Gray Giving Journal 2017

A Look Into CBTL’s Giving Journal 2017

There’s always something to look forward to during the year end for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf avid customers like me. Stamp collection for the CBTL’s Giving Journal has been like a tradition already having gone three cycles with their hard-bound journal as planning companion. This year’s Giving Journal 2017 doesn’t deviate much from their tried and tested form from the Giving Journal 2016. The earthly colors of the pages, the inspiring quotes on weekly spreads, the coupons and the solid simple design lines which a lot of people came to love are still there. The changes for the Giving Journal 2017 aren’t drastic but more artistic on the aesthetic that centers around the theme for 2017 “The Cup that Changes Lives”. Let’s take a look.

The Giving Journal 2017

CBTL brings in four color variants again but this time got more personal with 4 different designs engraved for each color cover. From the hearty rose pink, plant from a cup torquoise blue, a swirly deep purple, and global charcoal gray. For this review, I had the charcoal gray.

From the bean art and latte art of the past years, they focus on sketches representing their advocacies and their partners. Also typography for each month were contributed by various artist from the Brew Your Best Year community program.

Our favorite coupons are still there but I noticed new coupons at the near-end pages. Wing Top now has coupon deals in the Giving Journal 2017.
