When it comes to coffee promotions in Malaysia, few names generate as much excitement as The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Known fondly as CBTL by many regulars, the brand has been a familiar go-to spot for coffee enthusiasts who enjoy trying unique flavours beyond the usual latte or cappuccino. This August, CBTL Malaysia is adding a truly local twist to the coffee-drinking experience by introducing the Pandan Gula Melaka Macchiato – a drink that not only blends creativity and flavour but also celebrates ingredients loved by Malaysians.
What makes this promotion even better is that it is exclusive to MyCBTL members, giving them a chance to redeem this brand-new drink at a fraction of its usual price. Between 18 to 31 August 2025, members can use 1,000 Bean Points in exchange for a voucher that allows them to enjoy the Pandan Gula Melaka Macchiato (hot or iced) or the Pandan Gula Melaka Ice Blended® for only RM5. For anyone who loves value-for-money deals, this is certainly a chance worth grabbing.
Why this promotion stands out
Malaysia has no shortage of coffee promotions. But what sets this one apart is not just the discounted price; it’s the entire concept behind the drink. The Pandan Gula Melaka Macchiato combines bold espresso with creamy coconut milk, the distinct fragrance of pandan, and the rich sweetness of gula melaka. Topped with toasted coconut flakes, it creates a multi-layered taste experience that feels both indulgent and refreshing.
For those who prefer something cold to beat the Malaysian heat, the Ice Blended® version comes with a gula melaka drizzle, making it visually appealing as well as delicious. It’s one of those drinks that feels like a festive treat, but one that can be enjoyed on a casual weekday afternoon.
Why people should not miss this deal
One of the main reasons people love loyalty programmes is the sense of reward they get when points actually translate into something tangible and enjoyable. MyCBTL has made this possible by offering a deal where 1,000 Bean Points can bring a premium handcrafted beverage down to RM5. Considering how much speciality drinks usually cost at coffee chains, this is easily one of the best ways to stretch loyalty rewards further.
Another reason is the exclusivity. This deal is not for walk-in customers who simply order at the counter. It is designed for MyCBTL members who actively use the app, collect points, and explore the rewards catalogue. For regulars of CBTL, this is a nice bonus that makes the habit of visiting the café feel even more rewarding.
The limited-time period – just under two weeks – also adds urgency. With promotions like these, waiting too long could mean missing out, especially since drinks are subject to availability and are offered while stocks last. For those who enjoy being among the first to try new menu items, this is an opportunity to get a taste of something special before it becomes mainstream or disappears from the menu.
A celebration of local flavours
Another reason this promotion feels special is because of its flavour profile. Pandan and gula melaka are flavours deeply rooted in Malaysian cuisine. They are typically associated with traditional kuih, desserts, and festive treats. By incorporating them into a modern coffee drink, CBTL bridges tradition and innovation, creating something both familiar and new.
The creamy coconut milk base provides a tropical richness, while the pandan adds a refreshing fragrance. Combined with the roasted notes of espresso, it balances sweetness and boldness in a way that caters to both coffee drinkers and those who prefer dessert-like beverages.
This makes it a drink suitable for many occasions: a morning pick-me-up, a mid-day indulgence, or an after-dinner treat. It’s also Instagram-worthy, given the drizzle, layers, and topping – perfect for those who enjoy sharing food and drink experiences online.
How to redeem this offer
Redeeming the Pandan Gula Melaka Macchiato or Ice Blended® at RM5 is simple, provided someone is already a MyCBTL member. The steps are straightforward:
-

-

-

Why join MyCBTL if not already a member
For anyone who isn’t part of the MyCBTL programme, this promotion itself is a reason to consider joining. Beyond this deal, the programme allows members to earn Bean Points with every purchase, which can later be redeemed for discounts, food, beverages, or exclusive items.
Frequent visitors to CBTL will find the programme useful in the long run. While this Pandan Gula Melaka promotion is a highlight, there are usually other offers that rotate throughout the year, giving members different ways to enjoy more for less.
Final thoughts
Promotions like this serve as a reminder of how loyalty programmes can actually add value. Instead of just collecting points indefinitely, members get real, practical rewards that make their coffee experience more enjoyable. For just 1,000 points, members can sip on a limited-edition drink that blends the comfort of local flavours with the sophistication of an international coffee chain – and all at only RM5.
If someone loves coffee, enjoys trying new flavours, or simply wants to make the most of their loyalty points, this deal is worth checking out before the end of August.
So, whether it’s a quick catch-up with a friend, a work break treat, or a solo indulgence, the Pandan Gula Melaka Macchiato and Ice Blended® are drinks that tick both the flavour and value boxes. Given that they’re only available for a limited time, this is one promotion that should be marked on the calendar.
