Along with husband Alberto Opena, Marico is always on the lookout for the freshest, best-quality ingredients
The restaurant serves a wide range of mocktails
Alberto, who also runs a beverage consulting company, has been mixing and inventing new drinks for more than 25 years
A special Filipino roasted coffee called Mount Matutum is on the menu
Customers can also choose, from left, a Calamansito, Purple Lemonade and Grapefruit Sunset Pop
The Calamansito mocktail is made from the calamansi, or Philippine lemon, a citrus hybrid cultivated predominantly in the Philippines
Calamansi juice is known to boost the immune system, soothe acidity in the stomach and aid in weight loss
The chicken inasal – a charcoal-grilled chicken served with rice – is Pots & Tea's most popular dish
Marico in action in the kitchen
The double angus mushroom and cheese melt burger is also a hit with customers
