With a one-two punch to mitigate climate change, Amai repurposes discarded grains from the brewing industry into a 100% biodegradable alternative to traditional paper and plastic cups.
Honored to be awarded one of the 2024 TOP 4 Coolest Things Made in California, Amai cups are as delicious and nutritious as they are planet- friendly.

She earned her MBA from USC and Industrial Engineering degree from the University of Wisconsin. With over thirty years experience in product development through high-volume manufacturing, Jeannine is excited to embark on the next phase of growth for Amai, scaling operations to 1M cups/month to meet growing demand.
