Our Story

Like any other product journey, WakeUpSips too had its own story. Here is what our founder has to say about it –

“Herbal Infusions are not a new thing for me, it has been part of our culture in various ways.

At home, my mom used to put cardamom and vetiver in the water regularly. Majjige hullu (lemon grass) rasam and Kokum rasam are regular entries in our food menu even now.

In Kerala restaurants, I often enjoyed pinkish to red-colored water known as Karingal vellam.

Our temples have served “Theertha” (Tulsi/Pachouli/Durva infused water) for centuries. My Kashmir memories are filled with khawa and Himalayan treks with rhododendron teas.

The list goes on…..

But nothing was enough motivation for me to even think of anything like WakeUpSip’s until,

2020

Who does not remember that year? I mean, Covid was a life changer.I was a “Dad to be,” and my wife was 7 months pregnant. I still can’t believe we came out of that phase unaffected.It was my Dad who helped us go through the challenging time by introducing us to Nela Nelli (Bhumi amla, Phyllanthus niruri) Khada. Khada had a significant impact on my family’s overall health and well-being..That’s when I thought of unearthing the usage of these age-old herbs in the form of tea, and WakeUpSip’s was born.
