Chef Ayb’s Paragis brews an enjoyable journey to wellness with Alex Gonzaga

Embracing a lifestyle that promotes holistic wellness has been at the top of Chef Biselle Surio (Chef Aybs)‘s mind when she created Chef Ayb’s Paragis in 2017. It all began when Chef Aybs witnessed firsthand how the Paragis grass—known for its detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties—helped relieve her grandmother’s arthritis symptoms.

Moved by this experience, Chef Ayb’s curiosity was ignited, leading her to explore the healing benefits of Paragis grass. As she dug deeper, she experienced a sense of awakening, eventually making it her mission to raise awareness on the life-changing impact of Paragis grass, while also finding ways to make its benefits more accessible to everyone.

Her passion for holistic health has led to the creation of Chef Ayb’s Paragis. Each tea bag is meticulously crafted with care, ensuring that the natural properties of Paragis are preserved, while delivering a smooth, rich flavor in every cup.

Now, eight years and an expanded product line later, the brand remains steadfast in its mission, becoming a trusted Filipino wellness brand that’s committed to making natural wellness safe, simple, and affordable for every Filipino.

“I always make sure that every Chef Ayb’s Paragis product is of high quality, because we want our customers to have a safe and enjoyable journey to wellness,” said Chef Ayb’s.

Chef Ayb’s curiosity on the natural healing benefits of Paragis began when she witnessed how boiling Paragis grass helped relieve her grandmother’s arthritis symptoms. This prompted her to find ways to make its benefits accessible to everyone.

“Because this is more than just a business idea. Our mission with Chef Ayb’s Paragis is to raise awareness that in every tea bag crafted by our team, there’s a potential to improve your health and wellness,” she added.

To further boost Chef Ayb’s advocacy for wellness and vitality, Filipino media personality Alex Gonzaga has now joined the brand as its newest business partner. Known for her authenticity, positive energy, and passion for health and self-care, Alex embodies what the brand is all about—natural balance and holistic living.

“I make conscious efforts to stay healthy. I do Pilates, eat a balanced diet, and the like. Adding Chef Ayb’s Paragis in my routine has helped improve my overall health,” Alex shared.

“Before, my menstrual cycle was irregular due to stress and frequent travel. Now, my cycle is regular. On top of that, Chef Ayb’s Paragis has helped me sleep better. It also eases my anxiety and calms my nerves,” she continued.

Chef Ayb’s taps Filipino media personality Alex Gonzaga as the brand’s business partner as she embodies what the brand is all about—natural balance and holistic living.

“Even my husband, Mikee, who takes medications for having high blood pressure, drinks the tea. Now, his blood chemistry results are all normal. It’s truly a testament to the meaningful impact Chef Ayb’s Paragis has had on our overall wellness,” Alex added, sharing that Mikee Morada has also been named as the brand’s newest ambassador.

With this partnership, Chef Ayb’s and Alex hope to inspire more Filipinos to embrace a healthy lifestyle and incorporate Chef Ayb’s Paragis into their daily wellness routines.

“The partnership between Chef Ayb and me is very collaborative, and what makes it special is our shared goal of making healthy options available and accessible to everyone. It is our hope to inspire people to take charge of their health—and with Chef Ayb’s Paragis, we aim to help them do just that,” said Alex.

Since Chef Ayb’s launched her products in 2017, she has helped a lot of Filipinos in starting their journey to wellness and natural healing.

Committed to their vision of embracing a healthy lifestyle, Chef Ayb’s and Alex are eager to expand their offerings with new products coming soon. They hope these additions will inspire and provide more ways to support Filipinos toward a healthier life.
