Pokka Elderflower Tea Drink
News from Singapore Polytechnic:
Feeling thirsty? How about a drink: a cool, refreshing tea with just a hint of mint? Thanks to the efforts of a lecturer and three students from the Singapore Polytechnic (SP) School of Chemical and Life Sciences (CLS), you can now sate your thirst with the Elderflower tea drink.
In May 2007, lecturer Ku-Chong Lee Fong and her food technology students Edwin Neo Junde, Eric Chow Li Chong and Lim Ye Sen started working on a little project to develop a new herbal drink. A year and a half later, their efforts have borne fruit with the official launch of the Elderflower Tea drink, which will be marketed by Pokka Corporation Singapore Limited.
The floral tea, which is brewed from elderflowers and Darjeeling tea, has no colouring or preservative and has been certified as a Healthier Choice by the Health Promotion Board.
The Elderflower is beneficial for the health of your respiratory tract and circulatory system and also serves as a relaxant. Most importantly, it is a traditional remedy for colds and fever.
Beginning 1 December, the Elderflower tea drink will hit the shelves at more than 1000 retail outlets across Singapore, and Pokka has already started making plans to introduce the drink to the South-East Asian market and the region.

RISE Fresh Start Mango Smoothie
I must admit that the numerous advertisements of this particular product got me into a mood for searching for it!
I finally found in at 7-11!
Anyway, RISE Smoothie claims to be a real fruit and dairy combo that not only tastes great but fills you up!
I sort of like the convenience cap on feature that allows for drinking to be on the go and less messy, however, a thought that came to my mind is that, what is there is many people at the retail outlets that touch the cap before you actually drink from it?
Here's a quick snap shot of the Nutritional Information Panel and ingredients listing
