Duchess Fine Teas Introduces a World of Flavors to Manila—Luxury Tea for Everyday Wellness

 

As the number of health conscious people rises, and I myself is a self-proclaimed one, tea is becoming the beverage of choice. As many have been seeking a balanced lifestyle. Now, with the launch of Duchess Fine Teas at WOFEX DRINKS 2025 from March 27 to 29 at the World Trade Center Manila, Filipinos can explore an extensive selection of branded fine gourmet teas from India, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, China, and Sri Lanka. Available in loose-leaf and pyramid tea bags, all blends come in beautifully designed tin cans, perfect for daily enjoyment or gifting.

Traditionally, the Philippine tea market has been limited, but Duchess Fine Teas is changing that by offering over 150 varieties. Their range includes black, green, white, herbal, and floral blends, with both caffeinated and caffeine-free options. This diverse selection allows everyone to find a tea that suits their taste and wellness goals.

Recognizing the growing demand for quality beverages, Duchess Fine Teas provides an opportunity for the HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering) sector to enhance their menus with premium tea blends. Coffee shops, abundant throughout the Philippines, can also diversify their offerings by incorporating these unique teas, catering to the evolving preferences of their health-conscious clientele.

Tea is more than just a drink; it's a step towards better health. Rich in antioxidants and natural compounds, tea supports digestion, immunity, heart health, and helps in stress relief. Unlike coffee, tea offers a smoother, less acidic experience, providing a gentle energy boost without the jitters.

Duchess Fine Teas believes that enjoying high-quality, imported tea doesn't have to be expensive or exclusive. Their mission is to make fine tea an affordable, everyday pleasure, aligning perfectly with the health and wellness movement gaining momentum in the Philippines.

The brand is also expanding nationwide and is open to local distributors and resellers interested in bringing fine teas to more Filipinos. Currently, Duchess Fine Teas products and accessories will soon be available at http://www.duchessteas.com.ph on leading e-commerce platforms.

For inquiries, contact sales@duchessfineteas.com or visit the Duchess Fine Teas booth at WOFEX DRINKS 2025 to explore the world of fine teas—because wellness should be a luxury everyone can enjoy.

7-Eleven's The Good Coffee, Good Habits Campaign Which Encourages Customers to Bring Their Own Cups

 

Together with the growing community of coffee culture is the rise of insulated tumblers and cups which comes in many designs and colors.  It offers a sustainable alternative to single-use paper or plastic cups.  And we all know how Filipinos take their daily cups of coffee seriously, thus the great way too for flexing their choice of coffee mugs. We know that 7-Eleven has always been a trusted destination for coffee lovers nationwide. Through its beloved coffee lineup, City Cafe, City Prima, and !+? Cafe Reserve, 7-Eleven has made deliciously brewed coffee accessible and affordable for all. 

Now, everyone’s trusted neighbor is giving its patrons one more reason to enjoy their favorite 7-Eleven coffee run with the launch of the Good Coffee, Good Habits campaign. This new initiative urges customers to bring their own cups to blend their delicious coffee habits with sustainable practices.

The Good Coffee, Good Habits campaign reflects 7-Eleven’s commitment to a greener earth by encouraging small, everyday actions that contribute to a lasting impact. With this initiative, 7-Eleven customers have the option to make their coffee habit environmentally friendly, reduce single-use waste, and enjoy a discount of up to ₱5 on their coffee purchases so every cup is a great way to save money and the environment.

 

Availing of the discount is easy and hassle-free. 7-Eleven coffee lovers simply need to bring their reusable tumblers on their next coffee run, fill with their preferred drink, and pay at the cashier, where their discount will automatically be applied. To make the initiative inclusive, 7-Eleven welcomes tumblers of any size, as long as they can be tilted to fit the machine’s opening. Interested customers may also opt to buy reusable tumblers available in-store. The discount applies to all City Cafe, City Prima, and !+? Cafe Reserve hot and cold drinks.

 

Reward every bold, creamy, and freshly-brewed coffee habit with savings and sustainable contributions to the environment. Bring a reusable tumbler to any 7-Eleven store nationwide to save up to ₱5, enjoy a greener coffee experience, and make every sip a step towards a better world.

Barbie Forteza Joins 9 Young-Basic as Its First-Ever Brand Ambassador

 

Have you heard the saying, "One can never be too old to become younger"?

I'm in that state where I've been anxious about seeing the signs of aging.  You can not stop aging but somehow you can keep the aging clock slower. It would be wise for younger ones to seek help and attend to their needs when taking care of their looks and health, as the skin is the main reflection of your health.  How I wish I had discovered collagen early on.

Hence, I was excited to know more about this new collagen drink and how it compares

9 Young-Basic, the newest collagen brand in the Philippines, marked its official launch with a grand celebration featuring its first brand ambassador, multi-awarded actress and Gen Z icon Barbie Forteza. The highly anticipated event brought together media partners, influencers, and industry leaders to witness a new era of self-care and radiance, as the brand unveiled its mission to empower individuals to live their glow every day.
