      Portland, OR
      Mar 2012 - Present (14 years 3 months)
      Genki-Su is 100% natural Japanese drinking vinegar crafted with premium coconut vinegar infused with fresh fruits and ingredients. It contains no added sugar or artificial flavors, and we use extremely rare Japanese ingredients for our flavors. We currently sell Genki-Su at natural markets, specialty food stores, bars and cafes in Oregon.

      Our dream is to start a business that would bring happiness and well-being to others. We both enjoy working with friends and are motivated by those who push us to be the best that we can be.

      In Genki-Su, we have created a delightful line of beverages that embodies the best of Earth’s bounty and all that is healthy and refreshing. It is with profound pleasure that we share this creation with you.

      Portland, OR
      May 2010 - Present (16 years 1 month)
      Each month, tanQ partner up with a non-profit organization and designs a unique tee to reflect the mission of the organization. We then sell those tees and donate 100% of the net profits back to the origanization.

      We are founded on the belief that kindness is contagious, and that even small, humble acts such as buying and wearing a t-shirt can inspire others to take charitable actions of their own.
