Our Story
Made in the Bay Area.
Built for everyone.
SHIMA started with a simple question: why does every energy drink rely on the same formula — caffeine, sugar, and stimulants — when there is a cleaner way to feel good? We set out to build something better, right here in the Bay Area.
Where We Come From
Born in the Bay Area.
SHIMA is a Bay Area company. We develop, formulate, and produce locally — which means tighter quality control, a closer relationship with our ingredients, and a genuine connection to the community we are part of.
Being local matters to us. It means accountability — to our customers, to the retailers who carry us, and to the standards we hold ourselves to. Every can that leaves production reflects work done by people who care about what they are putting in it.
The Mission
A drink built for real life.
SHIMA is not designed for a specific lifestyle or demographic. It is designed for anyone who wants a clean, feel-good drink that does not come with a list of consequences. Whether you are a morning person or a night owl, an office worker or a fitness regular, someone who has never heard of kratom or someone who knows it well — SHIMA is for you.
The energy drink market has long defaulted to the same playbook: load it with caffeine, sweeten it with sugar or artificial sweeteners, and market it to a narrow audience. We think that is a failure of imagination. SHIMA is our answer — a genuinely different product, formulated thoughtfully and made with care.
What We Stand For
Our values.
Local Craftsmanship
We are a Bay Area company producing locally. That means higher standards, real accountability, and a product we stand behind because we made it ourselves.
Clean Formulation
Zero sugar, zero caffeine, no artificial stimulants. We keep the ingredient list short and honest — because the best drinks do not need to hide anything.
Full Transparency
Every number on our label is there because it matters. We are upfront about what is in every can, including the kratom content, because you deserve to know what you are drinking.
Inclusive by Design
SHIMA is not built for one type of person. It is built for anyone curious about a cleaner approach to energy — regardless of lifestyle, background, or daily routine.
Thoughtful Sourcing
Our kratom extract is carefully sourced and standardized for consistency. Quality starts before the can is filled, and we take that seriously.
Community Investment
We grow with the people and businesses around us — from the local retailers who carry us first to the customers who make SHIMA part of their routine.
The Name
What does SHIMA mean?
SHIMA captures a feeling — the moment when energy and calm align, and everything feels just right. Not wired, not flat. Focused, present, and moving forward on your own terms.
It is a name rooted in the idea that energy should feel natural — and that a drink made with care, from a place you can point to on a map, is always better than one produced somewhere anonymous.
