About Saku
OUR MISSION
To bring health and happiness to people everywhere by creating a distinctive line of exceptionally pure, deliciously blended and potently nutritious superfood blends.
OUR CORE GOALS
To create the finest wellness blends on the planet.
To be good to the planet and its people while building a thriving business.
To love and care for our customers and partners by making sure we uphold our mission and goals every day.
To make sure SAKU is the best place to work, where people thrive, have fun and make a meaningful contribution to the world.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
SAKU was born out of our love for the art of living slowly, joyously and beautifully. A SAKU latte is a chance to enjoy uninterrupted time with each other, enter into your personal inner world or to engage in creative work. By honoring ancient traditional wisdom while embracing the modern world, we bring you a truly whole and unique beverage which is honest, organic, phenomenally healthy and absolutely delicious.
Nourish your body and feed your soul … BE SAKU™
OUR HISTORY
SAKU began as a six foot tea bar in our friend Chelsea’s gallery. All we had was burning enthusiasm, a small selection of world class teas and a few tea lattes. Our traditional golden milk – “Bellingham Gold” – made with pure, organic spices and local honey quickly became the most popular drink (now known as our “Golden Chai”). People started asking to take it home, so we spent the next year balancing flavors and sourcing the purest ingredients for a total of six blends based on TURMERIC, MATCHA & BEETROOT. Since then, we’ve survived a Kickstarter project, sold the tea bar, attended wholesale and retail shows & built a mixing facility to serve the ever increasing demand for our SAKU SUPERFOOD BLENDS!
