What does ‘Mascobado’ mean?
How is your Mascobado Sugar made?
Is it organic?
Is it Fair Trade?

Time and again
I have been asked.
Here are the answers,
At long long last:

Mascobado comes from Spanish,
Meaning ‘raw’ or ‘unrefined’.
Ours is free of harmful chemicals
And rich in vitamins and minerals.

Our Mascobado is obtained
By evaporating juice from sugar cane,
A traditional method of production
In line with Filipino ancient notion.

Without centrifugal processing,
Nutritious molasses remains.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC by IMC,
It’s a FAIR TRADE product of PFTC*.

Brrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrr
In freezy northerly breeze

Silly me in just a jumper no down no fleece
Could do nothing but freeze and freeze

Smart me grabbed a packet of Ginger Tea Powder
Opened a packet of Mascobado Sugar Dark

Borrowed a big kettle and a huge pot for tea
Borrowed the Market office for brewing

And In ten minutes came Ginger Tea Power
For freezy him and her and you and me
