Launched in 2016 by kamaʻāina Bella Hughes, who was born and raised in Honolulu and her husband Harrison Rice, Shaka Tea was founded out of their desire to honor Hawai’i by offering an authentically Hawaiian and healthy product through their māmaki teas, all coming from recipes that originated right out of their own kitchen.

Shaka Tea is the first line of Hawaiʻi-grown, herbal iced teas on the market brewed from māmaki, which is only found and grown one place in the world – the Hawaiian archipelago.
