When Cris Patwa thinks back to her childhood, she recalls many happy memories of growing up days in Davao where her grandmother had a farm with chickens, carabaos, even geese. Fruit trees grew lush providing them with ripe sweet mangoes in summer, and coconuts all year round. Patwa’s lola, a food entrepreneur, was a busy, active woman engaged in livelihood projects that gave employment to locals, school feeding programs, and even soil health. Years later, these happy, sunlit memories combined with the values of her hardworking grandmother to inspire Patwa in creating her own food business.

In 2021, Patwa and business partner John Fogelman launched Enroot, a line of sparkling teas that celebrated the Filipino cultural heritage that she came from. Fogelman, she explains, has been friends with Brad Pitt for over 20 years and even helped the actor expand the product portfolio of Pitt’s Chateau Miraval. This shared interest in food entrepreneurship brought them together. It was natural for Pitt to back the new beverage and help launch Enroot.
