Shaka Tea was honored to have sponsored the 76th Annual Aloha Festivals Floral Parade last weekend in Waikiki. Participating in this historic event, which celebrates Hawai?i's rich cultural heritage and sense of community, was a meaningful experience for our team. ? We distributed our iced teas to the parade attendees, ensuring they stayed hydrated throughout the day, and it was rewarding to connect with the local community in such a positive and festive atmosphere. ? Sponsoring events like this aligns with our company values of supporting local traditions and giving back to the community. We look forward to continuing our involvement in future events that uplift and unite those around us. ? A big mahalo to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who came out to make this year’s festival a success. We’re excited for what’s to come and to find more ways to contribute to the community. ??

And that's a wrap! Mahalo to our friends at Mana Up for putting on an incredible Aloha Market pop-up this past weekend on Abbot Kinney in L.A.! The market was buzzing with island-inspired energy all weekend long. A special thanks and shoutout to Kyle Reutner and the team at Kō Hana Rum who co-hosted a mixology workshop with us to showcase how our herbal iced teas can be enjoyed in more ways than one. This was a great opportunity for two Hawai'i based brands to come together and share our products and our similar missions: to honor the 'āina and community of Hawai'i through local agricultural practices and by shining a spotlight on native ingredients. See you at the next Aloha Market!
