In Hawai‘i, we believe the best things are grown with care, shared with love, and steeped in tradition. That spirit lives in every cup of Māmaki tea—a native Hawaiian herbal brew enjoyed by island families for generations.

At Leilanis Attic, we’re proud to feature Kilani Brew Māmaki Tea, grown and handcrafted in Wahiawā, Oʻahu. For anyone hoping to buy Māmaki tea grown in Hawai‘i, this locally made blend offers a smooth, meaningful way to connect with the islands.

The Heart of Hawai‘i in a Leaf

Māmaki (Pipturus albidus) grows only in Hawai‘i, making it one of the islands’ most treasured native botanicals. Long before it was brewed as tea, Native Hawaiians used māmaki in lā‘au lapa‘au (traditional healing) for its soothing qualities.

Beyond the cup, māmaki is vital to the ecosystem—it’s the host plant of Hawai‘i’s state insect, the Kamehameha butterfly. By cultivating māmaki, Kilani Brew helps protect native species while supporting sustainable local agriculture—a true act of mālama ʻāina (care for the land).

Handpicked and Packed with Aloha

Founded with one clear goal—to provide high-quality, locally sourced, great-tasting tea—Kilani Brew grows, harvests, and processes its māmaki entirely in Hawai‘i. Each leaf is handpicked and carefully packed by hand, ensuring freshness and island craftsmanship in every batch.

Their smooth signature blend comes from a mix of red, pink, and light-green māmaki varietals. This balance creates an earthy, subtly sweet flavor that comforts both new tea drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts alike.

The Taste of the Islands (Caffeine-Free)

So, what does Māmaki tea taste like? Imagine a light, refreshing brew with soft herbal notes—slightly nutty, a little minty, and naturally sweet. It’s caffeine-free and easy on the senses, perfect for morning calm or a relaxing evening ritual.

Enjoy it hot or chilled; each sip tells a story of Hawai‘i’s mountains, rain, and the people who nurture its land.

Tradition Meets Innovation

Though deeply rooted in Hawaiian heritage, Kilani Brew represents a new generation of local farmers blending tradition with innovation. Their Wahiawā farm uses sustainable methods to honor kūpuna (ancestors) while securing Hawai‘i’s agricultural future.

Modern studies from the University of Hawai‘i show that māmaki leaves contain beneficial minerals and antioxidants, supporting its long-standing reputation as a nourishing, restorative plant. While not a medicine, it’s a mindful, natural addition to any wellness routine.

How to Brew Māmaki Tea at Home

• Bring fresh water to just below boiling.
• Add one teaspoon of loose leaves or a tea bag per cup.
• Steep for 5–10 minutes depending on desired strength.
