Shortly after our first son was born, my wife started looking for ways to get back into shape. Instead of reaching for snacks whenever she craved something savory between meals, she asked me to make broths she could sip during the day.

I tried just about every store-bought broth I could find, but they all had the same problem: flat, boring flavors and tons of sodium. So I started experimenting.

I began heating store-bought broths and adding herbs and spices to bring the flavor to life. It tasted better, but it took so much time and with a newborn at home, time was in short supply.

I searched for something instant and flavorful, but everything I found was bland or designed for cooking rather than drinking. So I started experimenting in our kitchen, blending herbs, spices, and savory ingredients into tea bags that steep like tea.

That small kitchen experiment became Umama: savory sipping broths made with real ingredients, ready in minutes. A simple way to enjoy a warm, savory moment anytime.

With love,
