Original Blend is completely safe for children to consume. Our night blend contains Valerian Root and Passionflower and there currently isn’t enough research on these herbs for children. We invite you to do your own research and speak with your pediatrician, naturopath or herbalist to get their feedback.

Why does LUKA powder sometimes appear clumpy?

Standard coconut milk powders contain a % of sodium caseinate (milk protein) which acts as an emulsifier to stop the fat clumping. We have chosen to use completely natural coconut milk powder without this ingredient which sometimes means the powder may form clumps. 

Drinking Chocolate Night Blend

Wattleseed! We have used roasted ground wattleseed in its most natural form to delivery a delicious nutty aroma to brew straight into your mug. It is completely healthy and safe to consume! 

What natural sweetener do you use?

The magical ingredient that makes LUKA so deliciously sweet without the calories is Monk Fruit! It tastes identical to sugar without the caloric load or the bitter aftertaste of other natural sweeteners. It has been used by Buddhists for decades and it is finally making its way into the wellness world. 

It is natural, healthy, safe and free from artificial additives or synthetics and did we mention is it diabetic friendly?

What are the Natural Flavours?

We use premium Australian made plant based flavours that are created using only natural processing methods such as drying, roasting and fermentation. 

There is a misconception that Natural Flavouring contain additives or artificial ingredients such as maltodextrin, starch and preservatives, we can assure that this is not the case for the natural flavouring we use in LUKA Wellness products. We can assure that we adhere to our values of being completely natural, plant-based and GMO free. 

Is your packaging recyclable?

We are proud to be leading the way in sustainable packaging. Our canister products are are fully recyclable, are less carbon intensive than steel cans & glass, and the paper used is made from 100% recyclable fibre. When diverted to the recycling stream, the canisters have a recovery rate of 88%.

How much blend do i add to my cup? 

Thats where it gets personal. We suggest 3 teaspoons (approx 7g), but it’s totally up to you. If you like your LUKA strong, add a little more. For a more mellow flavour, add less.
