Ti Leaf Lei Process: Ti leaves are frozen or baked to create pliability for our lei making process. This preparation darkens the color of the ti leaf a bit and also preserves the strength and integrity of the leaf, ensuring it will hold up beautifully when worn.

RELATED INFORMATION
The tฤซ plant was brought to Hawaii prior to 1778 by the early Polynesians from Tangaroa, Tane, Tฤซ and Rongo. Hawaiian Kฤซ was considered sacred to the Hawaiian god, Lono, and to the goddess of the hula, Laka. It symbolized high rank and divine power. The leaves were used by the kahuna priests in ancient rituals as protection from evil spirits.
