Seeing as I'm English, it's only right that it's me who brings you news of free tea. More specifically, a free 12oz Over Ice Tea Latte, at the Coffee Bean N Tea Leaf, next Thursday, March 5, from 2 to 6pm.
It's at participating locations (duh) in California, which I'm told means most of them, just not franchise-owned ones. If you go to the website you can see which ones are franchises and which ones aren't.
Personally, I prefer to live life dangerously and try whichever branch is handy.
Here's hoping that the weather picks up enough by then that said beverage does what it's supposed to–cool us down. Otherwise it'll be hot chocolates all round, free or not.
