We are reintroducing ancient food traditions into everyday life through simple drinks with balanced flavor.
Balance
Our shakes are made to be balanced in both in their nutritional profile and their flavor profile.
Simplicity
We believe in simple recipes with a low number of ingredients.
Transparency
Every ingredient we use is clear, recognizable, and purposeful—dates, cashews, spices, and natural emulsifiers.
Respect
We honor diverse cultures through our flavor inspirations and respect the planet through sustainable practices. All ingredients are organic, and we are working toward full organic certification. Our glass bottles are recyclable, and we review suppliers for sustainability, including water conservation.

Ancient Sun began on a visit to a family-run date farm in Palm Springs, California, where Kian had his first date shake. He decided to dive into the history of traditional drinks sweetened by dates.
That idea led to months of study and experimentation. Kian spent six months researching traditional nut-based drinks from across cultures, developing and refining more than fifty nut milk and spice combinations before arriving at the three flavors we make today. Each recipe reflects careful balance and respect for the traditions that informed it.
We are a small team united by a shared interest in food, design, and discovery. For us, Ancient Sun is more than a product, it&s;s a way to carry food tradition forward, to honor where food comes from, and to build a brand grounded in intention, simplicity, and taste.
