JaDine's James Reid and Nadine Lustre Reveal Their Favorite 7-Eleven City Blends Flavors



For coffee lovers, this widely consumed beverage is a must-have at least once a day. After all, that caffeine kick can help get us through a busy morning or a tough client presentation. For some, coffee can even serve as a way to ask someone on a date or as a great bonding moment with friends. 

City Blends: the third wheel in JaDine's dates 
However, famous couple James Reid and Nadine Lustre of the JaDine fame humorously admit that coffee is a constant third wheel when they get together on dates. They also drink it in between shooting TV shows and films. Their choice of coffee brand? 7-Eleven's City Blends.

"I prefer Brewed Coffee. It helps me focus on set where there are so many distractions," revealed James. Nadine, on the other hand prefers her coffee sweet so she loves French Vanilla because, "the creamy taste perks me up."   

these hugot lines are funny! :)

City Blends is honest-to-goodness coffee made fresh as you order. It is offered in 7-Eleven, under the Philippine Seven Corporation (PSC), country licensee of the leading convenience store chain. City Blends comes in four distinct flavors -- French Vanilla, Mochaccino, Brewed Coffee, and Hot Chocolate. Each one is perfect for every feeling and comes with their own "hugot line" in every cup. 

Made from 100% Arabica beans, City Blends Brewed Coffee boasts of an intense flavor that, as James mentioned, perks you up and perfectly complements those moments when you need to focus and get something done right away. But, if you like your coffee frothy and sweet like Nadine, French Vanilla can give you that kilig feeling brought on by its creamy sweetness. Meanwhile, those who prefer a balance between strong and sweet flavors, the Mochaccino is for you (and me 'coz that's my favorite City Blends flavor!) – a perfect combination of coffee and delicious rich chocolate. 

there's actually a funny story behind this groupfie
curious? ask me about it when you see me :)
Lee Esguerra, PSC Marketing Communications Division Head, shared, "Starting at Php20, we offer coffee oozing with honest-to-goodness flavors, just like reel-to-real life couple James and Nadine. For a year now, JaDine has been our partner in promoting City Blends. And, with the overwhelming response to the couple’s commercial last year, they will once again show everyone how honest feelings can be expressed through City Blends coffee in our new commercial.”
