FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does 'ĀiNA mean?
In Hawaiian, ʻāina means "the land", but it’s way deeper than just dirt or soil. It comes from the root word ʻai “to eat” and literally means "that which feeds." In Hawaiian culture, ʻāina isn’t something you own it’s something you honor, respect, and care for, because it gives life.
At 'Āina Culture, we honor the sacred connection between people and land. And we want to encourage everyone, no matter where they live to care for and mālama (nurture) the ʻāina they stand on. Whether you’re in Hawaiʻi, the desert, the mountains, or the city, the land is life. Let’s treat it that way.
What variety of turmeric do you use in your blend?
We use a variety called Hawaiian Red Turmeric, also known as ʻŌlena in Hawaiian. It’s been grown in our family’s organic farm on the Big Island since 2016, using regenerative, organic practices.
This variety is prized not only for its vibrant color and earthy flavor, but also for its high curcumin content and deep roots in Hawaiian healing traditions. It’s fresh, potent, and powerful and it’s the superstar of our blend.
We synergized it with other amazing ingredients like black pepper, ceremonial grade cacao and coconut milk to help your body absorb it and thrive.
What does it taste like?
Our turmeric elixir has a smooth, chocolaty, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor.
It’s like a turmeric hot chocolate meets chai warming, uplifting, and easy to sip, whether you drink it hot or iced. No bitterness. No weird aftertaste. Just real ingredients, real flavor, and real benefits.
Does it have caffeine?
NO caffeine.
But don’t worry, you’ll still feel naturally energized and focused thanks to the synergy of Hawaiian red turmeric and ceremonial cacao.
Turmeric helps reduce inflammation and supports circulation, while cacao contains theobromine: a gentle, plant-based compound that uplifts your mood and sharpens mental clarity without the crash.
It’s the perfect coffee alternative: smooth, grounding, and energizing in a way that’s good for your body and mind.

Does it have sugar?
No sugar added.
Instead, we use a touch of green leaf stevia as a natural sweetener. It’s in its whole, unprocessed form, not the white powdered or chemically altered kind.
This green stevia brings a subtle, earthy sweetness that complements all the other ingredients without overpowering the blend. No weird aftertaste, no artificial flavors.
Our blend is designed to not spike insulin or blood sugar levels
Can I add it to other drinks or food?
We designed it to taste amazing on its own just mix one table spoon with hot water. But you can totally personalize it.
Add your favorite milk for a creamier latte style drink, or a bit more sweetener if you like it sweeter.
Some folks love adding a spoonful to their coffee for a turmeric boost, and it also works great in smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt or even baking. Get creative your body (and taste buds) will thank you!
Can I drink it during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
If you’re having a healthy pregnancy and your postpartum recovery is going well, then yes our elixir can be a wonderful support drink.
It contains no caffeine, and the turmeric offers gentle anti-inflammatory benefits that can support your body during this powerful season of life.
As always, we recommend checking in with your midwife or healthcare provider just to make sure is a good fit for you and baby.
Many mamas find it to be a nourishing, grounding, and feel good option
What is curcumin and how does it work in your blend?
Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric that gives it that golden color and its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
But here’s the thing: curcumin is hard for the body to absorb on its own. That’s why we formulated our blend to make it more bioavailable by combining turmeric with healthy fats from coconut and black pepper(which contains piperine, a natural absorption booster).
The result? You get more of the health benefits; helping reduce inflammation, support joint and gut health, and fuel overall vitality
