Waku is a Boston-based beverage brand creating delicious and nutritious wellness teas using 20+ herbs and flowers from the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. This blend of herbs has been consumed for centuries in the Andean region because of its digestive benefits and amazing taste.As we keep evolving as human beings and due to the influence of technology and globalization, many cultural traditions are being lost and the bridge with the low-income population around the world keeps increasing. Waku is set on a mission to provide this low-income population of farmers in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador with access to a value-added market for their products.In addition to that, Waku products are based on ancestral traditions from this region which aims to preserve the cultural heritage from our indigenous communities while also preserving the cultivation of medicinal herbs that have been part of our diets for centuries.On the other hand,market-facing, the reason why these herbs have been cultivated and used for centuries is due to their medicinal properties. They contribute to the overall body wellbeing through their anti-inflammatory, digestive and analgesic properties. As life continues to evolve, we are constantly under more pressure and stress –Waku can encourage consumers to live a more balanced life supporting their gut health while providing better opportunities to underrepresented communities in Ecuador.Visit livewaku.com to learn more.
