Uluhua Mug

Mugs are great for anyone who is looking to make their morning coffee, afternoon tea, or any hot beverage even more special. At Maoli, we love our mugs in the morning because we believe Hawai’i is so beautiful when the sun just starts to come up. Our mugs help us start our day off on the right foot by making us laugh, smile, feel confident, or grateful for whatever the day will bring.

NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN

Uluhua translates to “vexed” or “annoyed” in English. The Uluhua design is a playful take on pre-coffee grumpiness. The mug equates the amount of coffee that is already drunk with one’s level of irritability. If you see someone using this mug, make sure to check how much coffee they have already drank, lest you feel their morning grumpiness!

The various Maoli-certified pre-coffee uluhua levels are as follows:

• Full cup: E nahu ʻia ana ʻoe... (You will be bitten...)
• ¾ full cup: Mau nō ka uluhua. (The annoyance remains.)
• ½ full cup: ʻAneʻane mākaukau… (Almost ready…)
• ¼ full cup: ʻĀ ʻo ia. E hoʻomaka. (There we go. You may begin.)

The term mānaleo means "native speaker". Get a good laugh by showing this mug off to any friends, family members or colleagues that know the Hawaiian language and are avid coffee fans.
