What does JAMU stand for?
Is it an abbreviation or a real word?
JAMU is not an acronym; rather, it’s a term we’ve adapted to fit our product philosophy:
Juicy - Abundant - Magic - Unprocessed.
The origin of JAMU dates back approximately 1,300 years, during the era of the Mataram Kingdom.
The word "Jamu" is Javanese and loosely translates to "a brew made by the Javanese." Another theory links it to the old Javanese term “jampi,” meaning “magic formula,” which refers to the mantras recited by Javanese shamans.
What distinguishes your JAMU from that of other manufacturers?
We have always made our JAMU ‘only’ for ourselves, as this is always the best, and we recommend this to everyone. Always make everything fresh yourself: whether JAMU, raw Kombucha, Tempeh, ...
However, after many requests - Manu used to run ManuTeeFaktur - we have now decided to prepare this highly potent premium elixir for those who don't have the time and leisure to always look for and brew the freshest ingredients. And above all, of course, for those who don't want the ‘yellow mess’ in the kitchen, clothes and hands, sometimes for days :)
A big difference to what is available on the market is that we cook & brew fresh every month, and so completely dispense with extracts and fruit juices (apple juice, orange juice etc. are great but don't belong in JAMU) - we are talking about the European market here. In Asia, good, fresh & active JAMU is widely available.
How should I consume JAMU?
JAMU can be enjoyed in various ways: drink it straight, dilute it with water, or mix it into your smoothies and teas. For an extra kick, it also makes a fantastic base for refreshing cocktails or mocktails. To experience the full benefits, we recommend incorporating JAMU into your daily routine for at least six weeks—this is the time it typically takes to form a new habit. Once you start, you'll likely find you can't go without it!

What makes JAMU better than curcumin capsules?
JAMU is classified as a wellness drink in the EU.
It contains real fresh turmeric, packed with up to 5% curcumin, alongside essential oils, resins, and other active compounds that work synergistically.
