About Waku

Introducing… White Basil! This is the Quali-tea Series and on this occasion we will be discussing White Basil, another one of the ingredients incorporated into the Waku special fruity and herbal blend.

Hi there! Welcome to yet another Quali-tea episode! Today, we present you Lemongrass. This is one of our favorite ingredients in the Waku blend. Lemongrass is an herb with a lemony scent. The culinary herb is produced from the stalk of the lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon citratus), which grows in many tropical climates, most notably in Southeast Asia. This plant imparts a flavor of lemon with hints of ginger and has the same essential oil as lemons. It is often used in herbal teas to give a lemon flavor. Fresh lemongrass can have floral and minty notes as well.

And over all of these years and throughout all of those promos, we have heard a question pop up every once in a while and that is “Why is Waku so expensive?”. Today, we will answer that question by breaking down why the cost of Waku is truly just a reflection of its value.
