BREWING A NEW BREED OF FILIPINOS
Batsh*t-crazy in love with our country.
Not too long ago, the kind and doting nanays of one Gawad Kalinga community would offer hot, casserole-brewed drinks wrung from native leaves like tanglad and pandan to some very thirsty volunteers and visitors. They shared stories of their own elders brewing the very same drink to keep them strong and ward off all sorts of diseases.
In that vast field of talahib, under the scorching sun (and perhaps through the whisper of an enkanto) — ridiculously healthy BAYANI BREW farm fresh tea was born — inspired by Filipino heritage recipes made from organically grown local ingredients.
Brewed from organically-grown lemongrass and pandan, sweetened with raw brown sugar and a hint of calamansi, this flavor has a refreshingly light zest. The subtly floral fragrance and greenish hue of pandan leaves lend a distinct earthiness to our classic brew, while the citrusy aroma and revitalizing qualities of lemongrass help relieve and rejuvenate.
Brewed from fresh purple leaves of sweet potatoes, with zesty lemongrass, and the natural sweetness of raw brown sugar and calamansi extract. Not the most glamorous of crops, purple leaves of sweet potatoes AKA the fancy schmancy term for "talbos ng camote," grow a lot like weeds. However, from those leaves come the brew's rich reddish hue, an anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory compound know as polyphenol.
Artiseasonal variant: Brewed from all-natural Moringa and Alagaw with Dalandan. Tagged the "wonder leaf" for way too many reasons, moringa oliefera is rich in antioxidants and perfect for lactating moms! On the other hand, "alagaw" (premna odorata), the 'no-one's-ever-heard-this' leaf before and 'we-swear-we-didn't-make-this-up' leaf actually aids in phlegm decongestion and ehem, flatulence. Capped with the citrus zing of our native midget orange, dalandan, there's no reason why you shouldn't get M.A.D. (Moringa Alagaw Dalandan) now (except for when dalandan is out of season, sorry about that)
Situated in Brgy. Encanto in Angat, Bulacan, the sprawling, verdant GK Enchanted Farm — a previously barren terrain, now revived and thriving — produces bundles and bundles of organic lemongrass, talbos ng camote, pandan leaves, and many crops essential to each bottle of Bayani Brew.
The rapidly growing landscape is home to a sustainable farming community dedicated to learning, creating, innovating, and uplifting the lives of Filipinos in the countryside.
We continue partnering with other farming communities, one of which are the agrarian reform beneficiaries of Brgy. Camachile in Dona Remedios Trinidad, directly sourcing at above-market prices is just part of our mission of making subsistence farmers' hand-to-mouth existence a thing of the past.
Brewed only from organically grown native ingredients — curiously yummy, ridiculously healthy and proudly homegrown.
Lemongrass (tanglad) is traditionally used for cleansing, while Sweet Potato Leaves (camote tops) are rich in antioxidants and iron.
Supporting social enterprise Bayani Brew means uplifting organic farming communities, augmenting the income of independent farmers, promoting sustainability, innovation, and responsible consumption.
So darn good.
