Nusa

Andddd that’s a wrap on my first inventory run!!! 🎉

The past 7 months have taught me more than my 7 years in corporate.

Introducing a completely new beverage flavor to the U.S. is not an easy task, but the response and interest from all of you have made this journey worth every step.

And imma keep going till all 340 million Americans know what jamu is and have tasted it 🇮🇩

Next batch arrives in July. In the meantime, please support the local businesses carrying Nusa on their shelves ❤️

Thank you to everyone I’ve met at a market, pop-up, demo, or event. Every conversation, sample, piece of feedback, and purchase has helped get us here.

Now it’s time to improve the product and tackle the backlog 😅

One of my favorite parts of building Nusa is seeing it land on the shelves of businesses that genuinely care about their communities 🫂

These aren’t just stores carrying a product. They’re places preserving culture, creating gathering spaces, supporting local economies, and helping people discover something new

You can now find Nusa at:

Chapman's General - a historic Vermont general store that has served its community for generations, blending local charm, thoughtful goods, and a strong sense of place.

Aneka Market - a beloved Indonesian and Southeast Asian grocery destination, connecting communities through authentic ingredients, snacks, pantry staples, and flavors from home.

LeGenda Chicago - an Indonesian marketplace, gallery, and boutique in the Midwest where you can explore Indonesia’s culture, heritage, and flavors through thoughtfully curated products.

Cascadia Pharmacy | Wallingford - an independent neighborhood pharmacy focused on personalized care, wellness, and helping patients navigate their health with a community-first approach.

Treasures & Teas - a cozy shop where thoughtfully sourced teas, gifts, and specialty goods invite people to slow down, connect, and enjoy everyday rituals.

If you’re near any of these businesses, stop by and support them. Small businesses grow stronger when we shop local, discover local, and share local.

Thank you to each of these partners for making room on your shelves for a small Indonesian brand with a big mission

🇮🇩 From Indonesia to communities across America!

We sold out of our first production run 🙌

Thank you to everyone who has supported Nusa, shared it with a friend, stopped by a market, or brought a box home

Because of you, batch two is now on the way

From Indonesia to your cup 🇮🇩

Today is National Jamu Day in Indonesia

The word “jamu” comes from two ancient Javanese words: jampi (prayer) and usodo (health/healing). Together, they reflect something much deeper than just a drink. Jamu has always been about care, ritual, and the connection between wellbeing and everyday life.

For generations in Indonesia, jamu has been made and shared at home, carried by jamu gendong street vendors, and passed down through family traditions.

Starting Nusa has been my way of honoring that tradition while making it easier for more people here in the US to experience it in their own routines.

Selamat Hari Jamu Nasional 🤎

What does Nusa mean to us?

It started as a brand name, but became a way to carry home, heritage, and everyday ritual into one cup
