KUKER | Our Story

Ancient Bulgarian Rituals. Wild-Crafted Herbal Wisdom.

🌿 A Ritual in Every Sip

KUKER is not just tea. It’s tradition, it’s spirit, it’s Bulgaria in a cup.

Born from the untouched forests and mountain slopes of Bulgaria, KUKER carries the whispers of ancient healing practices, folklore, and deep-rooted connection to the Earth.

🫖 My Roots: Tea, Fire, and Family

I was raised in a world where herbs weren’t products — they were protectors.

As a child, I gathered wild plants with my grandparents, learning not just their names, but their nature. We would tie bundles and dry them slowly in the shade. Come winter, my grandmother would light the fire, whisper a blessing, and brew a pot of tea so fragrant it filled the house — and our spirits.

From linden to wild thyme, each herb had a purpose. Each blend, a quiet ceremony of care and wisdom passed down by hand.

"Hand-harvested herbs, tied into sacred bundles and left to dry in the shade — just as my grandmother taught me."

🧙♂️ The Kukeri: Protection, Spirit, and Strength

Our name, KUKER, comes from the Kukeri — the masked dancers of Bulgaria.

In ancient tradition, the Kukeri perform ritual dances to chase away evil spirits, bless the land, and protect the people. Their presence is bold, their bells loud, their masks sacred. To me, the Kukeri are more than myth — they are a symbol of spiritual power, deep roots, and protection.

Our herbs carry that same energy. They don’t just soothe. They shield. They awaken. They transform.

"The Kukeri — protectors of the land. Their rituals call in blessings and spiritual strength."

🌄 KUKER Today: A Return to the Mountains

KUKER is my way of sharing Bulgaria’s soul with the world. Each tea blend is crafted with care, using wild herbs from our forests and mountains — known for their purity, potency, and purpose.

Every sip is an invitation:

• To feel calmer
• To become more grounded
• To reconnect with yourself and the land

This is more than a drink. It’s a return — to tradition, to nature, and to who you really are.

"A return to self. A return to the mountains. A ritual in every sip."
