Introducing Superfood: Mamaki Tea on October, 2024.

Exploring the Benefits of Mamaki Tea

On October 22, the Nutrition Services team hosted another successful tasting event, this time featuring Hawaii-grown Mamaki tea. Thanks to special blends created by Ian Kennedy of Strata Farms LLC, tasters got a chance to sip four refreshing iced teas – natural, honey sweetened, lemon grass, and mint-flavored. Ian and Selina Chen of Makan Pray Aloha shared valuable insights into the health benefits of Mamaki tea and how it’s grown, while attendees had the opportunity to purchase take-home pouches at a discounted price. Ian also generously offered to donate Mamaki tea seedlings to the first 50 attendees who signed up.

We can't wait to receive a seedling, learn how to grow our own plant, and enjoy brewing fresh Mamaki tea!
