Origin Story
Our story begins in Ghana, West Africa - where Kwadwo presented his research on innovative pain medications at the Ghana Biomedical Convention. He was inspired by a presentation that showed how a traditional herbal tea can increase the potency of anti-malaria medicines.
When Kwadwo returned, he won a prestigious Fellowship with the Kauffman Foundation for Entrepreneurship and worked with Steve Blank to design a pharmaceutical company that can build medicine for people like Google builds apps for smartphones.
The results of their new compassionate product development method was the world's first anti-anxiety coffee creamer! Our team spent the next 4 years working with customers to create a delicious eco-friendly hot chocolate K-cup that can protect and improve the mental health of an individual, their family, and their workplace.
