Tisane is another word for herbal drink. It technically differs from tea for the fact that there is a specific tea plant called Camellia sinensis.
In a small community in northern Philippines, a little ride north of Vigan City, the UN Heritage site, there is a small emerging permaculture farm. In this farm, is the patriarch who was once an elected council member and a retired official. He was discharged from St.James Hospital in the month of June bedridden, requiring assistance to sit up, cannot eat on his own. He was diagnosed diabetic, with high blood pressure, and having tuberculosis for chain-smoking Marlboro.
After taking in several of the leaves in his farm as food including soursop leaves, moringa as addition in his food, and mulberry leaves as herbal drink, he stopped using insulin by August. Many who knew him personally said his recovery had been amazing.
The small farm now wants to share what has been good to their patriarch by inviting guests to try staying at one of their simple rooms for unlimited tisane drinks every morning.

How To Use AirBnb
While there seems to be a lot of Filipinos who cherish and are excited by the choices they can have online, especially at Airbnb, their excitement is dashed when reality checks in (Credit Card Companies Rule the E-World! - kinda). The problem for most is that credit card is not really popularly used by Filipinos as much as remittance systems like banks, Western Union, MLhullier, and other pawnshop-turned-remittance centers that dot most towns in the country.
So, here's a little guide and help about Airbnb (and basically for most online service providers & retailers):
1. Airbnb message system censors phone numbers, email addresses, and ubiquitous website names or companies. It censors "Google" just so you have an idea.
2. You can reserve & book only through confirmed payment.
3. Airbnb payment systems includes credit card, Paypal, and other online payment systems.
4. If you have an ATM card for savings, especially for BPI, you can apply for online express payment system at your bank.
5. Smart money card is accepted by Paypal, and by far, the cheapest for regular Pinoy folks, like me, to access online shopping. It can be availed at any Smart Wireless Center or at BDO.
6. You cannot book via Western Union, or remittance centers, sorry. Unless of course you can beat around the system of the e-shop, then, way to go!
I hope this helps. As for our Airbnb listing, check it out here.
