Drink healthy, drink right with Bayani Brew

Start the year right with a healthy habit. Instead of reaching for that soda bottle, go for Bayani Brew – everyday premium drinks that are big on flavor and natural ingredients. 

Inspired by the native formulations of the nanays from the Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm, these drinks – with such witty names as Kick-ass Lemongrass (brewed from all-natural lemongrass and pandan) or Camotea Commotion (made from all-natural sweet potato purple leaf tops) use local and indigenous ingredients.

Kick-ass Lemongrass

Widely used as a cooking ingredient due to its aromatic citrus flavor with a hint of ginger, lemongrass has been shown to contain properties that make it ideal for gastrointestinal problems and stomachaches, diarrhea, gas, bowel spasms, vomiting, fever, flu, and headaches. Mothers would boil the leaves, then add a bit of sugar and some ginger to make lemongrass tea. Sweet potato (camote) tops on the other hand are a good source of Vitamin C and D, as well as protein, minerals, dietary fiber and nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron and zinc. Several studies also indicate that camote leaves are good sources of antioxidants that can help the body fight cancer. 

Having been largely influenced by Gawad Kalinga, which set up the GK Enchanted Farm pilot site in Bulacan, Bayani Brew buys all the indigenous crops it uses in its brews such as lemongrass, pandan, and sweet potato tops directly from farmers at higher than market market prices.

The result of this initiative is a delicious line of refreshing and healthy drinks that have steadily gained popularity with consumers, not to mention a number of celebrities and personalities who appreciate the emphasis on using fresh ingredients while helping support livelihood initiatives for farmers. 

Bayani Brew variants, which retail for P48 per bottle, are available at Rustan’s, Shopwise, Robinsons, and Landmark supermarkets, and convenience stores in Bonifacio Global City, Makati, Ortigas and Quezon City, including Eastwood, UP TechnoHub, and UP Town Center.
