Awai'ku Tea

Mamaki (Pipturus albidus) is part of the nettle family and is endemic to Hawaii.  It contains more ash, protein, fat, and total fiber when compared with conventional teas. However, the most notable advantage is a high level of calcium. Superb for moms with a baby on the way, young children growing and forming their bones, as well as, adults working to maintain their overall skeletal structure and bone integrity.

 

Additional benefits of Mamaki tea include high levels of antioxidants, antibacterial, and antiviral benefits. The plant is rich in nutrients including magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, C, K and B, beta-carotene and rutin. It also has adaptogenic properties related to balancing blood sugar and blood pressure.  Adaptogenic herbs perform the task, as in the name, aiding your body in adapting or bringing balance to areas that are lacking or in need of particular vitamins or minerals.  

 

Blood building, cleansing, and detoxing, high in vitamins and minerals, this tea is superb for expectant moms, young children for forming their bones and skeletal structure, as well as adults working to maintain their overall skeletal structure and bone integrity

Pikake Green Tea:

Enjoy a brew of green Sencha tea and pikake (jasmine buds) for a recharge of antioxidants, immune-boosting, and healthy circulation properties.  Ideally enjoyed daily, this tea benefits your heart and brain while imparting a classic green tea flavor, slightly bitter, so for those that prefer, a dollop of honey does the trick.  Improve concentration and focus without the jitters that coffee sometimes causes!  Caffeinated.
