Waka Coffee & Tea makes higher-quality instant coffees and teas intended to revive the instant coffee and tea categories. Founded in late 2018 by David Kovalevski and based in Los Angeles, the company bootstrapped to become one of the best-selling newcomers in its categories on Amazon. Waka reports strong sales and customer response to date and has expanded into physical retail with Central Market in Texas and internationally via iHerb. The brand is launching three new instant coffee roasts and origins and is rolling out refreshed design and packaging. Waka emphasizes more eco-friendly packaging and donates to clean water initiatives through its "Add Water, Give Water" program. The company plans to use outside capital to introduce more products, build the team, and expand into new sales channels.
