12-12-12 Package From Lipton!

I got a package in the mail  which made my 12-12-12. It was a pack of Lipton Tea with a set of flavors like vanilla, banana, almond and pandan. It also came with fruit juices which can also be mixed with Lipton tea.

Well when I was a kid, I never liked tea. It was back when iced tea became popular that I tasted tea and eventually liked it and tried thousands of variants since then. But I liked Lipton Yellow Tea because they are convenient and also have a rich flavor in each bag. 

I also noticed in every box Lipton is the word "Hirameki" which is based on a Japanese word meaning "flash of inspiration". In the box it shows a different yet fun way of preparing a cup of tea with Lipton teabags.

LAKBAYAN: Costales Organic Farm

Farming. It's more fun in the Philippines!

When was the last time you have been on a trip to nature far from the city. To smell the fresh air, the clean water, and the rich soil of the earth. And though this may be a dream to many, it is actually just a province away. In Majayjay Laguna, just beside the mythical Banahaw mountain, is where you can find a unconventional yet sustainable farm, Costales Nature Farm.

Though maybe just a province away, you would really feel that the urban landscape fades away to the rural yet sustainable living. Costales Nature Farm dedicates itself to the te practice of Organic Farming. Yes, the farming that uses natural fertilizers, no chemicals which nature intended it to be. We got the chance to go and experience organic farming which is a promising way of sustainable agriculture minus the harmful insecticides and yeilds bountiful and high quality produce.

And tasting the fruits, vegetable and livestock from the farm definitely far more different and far more delicious than the regular meat and vegetables.

Real Leaf Paparazzi! A Tea M Z Exclusive!

This is an exclusive Tea M Z, your ultimate source of showbiz gossip and paparazzi! And for today we have encountered the artist SHADYBOI. This artist of many talents have been spoted by our correspondents on several locations and occasions with a a bottle of REAL LEAF GREEN TEA on his hand and of different variants. This makes us wonder what is it in that bottle that Shadyboi enjoys drinking almost everywhere. And many would testify that he is seen to hang out with a bottle of REAL LEAF than his girlfriend. 

Shadyboi in one of his gigs, they wonder if he loves green tea than his girlfriend.

 

even in his labels, the real leaf bottle plays a part...

According to him, "REAL LEAF GREEN TEA is the best drink to rejuvenate my mind and body after long hours of work and shows. It actually has THEANINE that stimulates both mind and body to be active. Plus I knew that these were made with real tea leaves  assuring me that the nutrients are retained in the process. And as a matter of fact, I feel very charged up after ajust a bottle, so I made sure that I always have one handy." This was his statement while asked in one of his gigs holding honey-lychee flavored  real leaf green tea and many wondered why he got a lot of energy even after his hectic schedules. 

Caught in the act while in the dressing room,

he was also rumored using drugs because of his

non stop energy but it was just actually the tea.

He again stated in another event this time holding a bottle of Real Leaf Green Tea Honey-Apple  flavor and we cornered him for a another brief interview, "This drink is better than coffee to keep you alert yet relaxed. My favorite is honey-apple and actually what is more interesting Ii  I also lost a few pounds while doing this 'tea lifestyle'. I'm not the official endorser but I do really feel that I'm like Gary V, pure energy man...pure energy!"

he confesses that he never drank tea ever until real leaf.... 

And from these statements and exclusive footage of him holding a bottle of real leaf clearly testifies his love for the drink and the benefits that he got  by just drinking tea. Since its effectiveness has been proven, I think we may see a lot of other people holding a bottle of REAL LEAF GREEN TEA and get into the 'tea lifestyle'.
