Mamaki (Hawaiian Herbal Tea)

A Taste of True Hawaiian HeritageMāmaki (Pipturus albidus) is a remarkable, ancient shrub in the nettle family that is strictly endemic to the Hawaiian Islands — meaning it grows naturally nowhere else on Earth. Evolved over millions of years in complete geographic isolation, it lost the stinging hairs of its mainland nettle cousins, resulting in a gentle plant with smooth, beautifully veined leaves.For generations, Native Hawaiians have revered māmaki as a cornerstone of lāʻau lapaʻau (traditional herbal medicine), historically used to purify the body, alleviate fatigue, and restore physical and emotional balance.Our MāmakiOur loose leaf Māmaki tea is grown in the hillside agroforest that surrounds our farmstand, delivering an earthy, mildly sweet cup that connects you to the spirit of the islands.
