The Hawaiian Islands might be known as the only state in America that can grow coffee, but that isn’t the only beverage you’ll find produced here! From organic vodka made using deep ocean mineral water to lemonade and juice made right here in the islands, Hawaii’s local beverages are truly second to none, and today, we’re sharing with you one of the most unique. Handcrafted on Hawaii Island’s eastern shore in Hilo, Shaka Tea’s headquarters is a must-visit for anyone who loves drinking tea. 

As the first-ever line of Hawaiian-grown, herbal iced teas brewed from mamaki — which is only grown in one place in the world, the Hawaiian archipelago — Shaka Tea is truly one-of-a-kind.

Brewed with a commitment to the health of both the consumer and the land, Shaka Tea is naturally caffeine-free and contains no added sugars. The tea leaves are also grown using sustainable practices, so you can feel confident in your beverage choice.

The teas can be found in major retailers across Hawaii, the continental United States, and on Amazon, but the best way to taste these teas is at their Hilo headquarters. This boutique and tea blending bar offers so much more than just tea samples, and you’ll want to visit for a tour or workshop.
