San Francisco, CA May 24th, 2019 

Silicon Valley-based beverage brand Pooki’s Mahi® announced today Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller conducting inspections on first units produced from new manufacturing facilities mid-June. Pooki’s Mahi new 100% Kona Decaf coffee pods will ship to VIP customers - coffee subscribers, wholesale coffee club, and VIP reseller distributors on June 14th. Pooki’s Mahi controls 100% of its supply chain. Available units are allocated to paid orders from existing coffee subscribers. Pooki’s Mahi limits the number of available units sold to global marketplaces, national grocery chains, and global retailers.

Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller explains, “Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona Decaf coffee pods sold out in late 2018. I’ve transitioned manufacturing for Pooki’s Mahi decaffeinated 100% Kona coffee pods into a newer facility capable of producing millions of recyclable coffee pods in a registered FDA certified facility. The state of the art facilities is capable of handling Pooki’s Mahi growth. Pooki’s Mahi Kona Decaf coffee pods will ship with new product information like UPC, and SKU. New packaging helps protects Pooki’s Mahi brand and Kona Decaf coffee pods from unapproved resellers selling counterfeit Pooki’s Mahi decaffeinated Kona coffee pods, Kafpresso™ coffee capsules or Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules on marketplaces. New packaging designs enables Pooki’s Mahi to offer complimentary two-day shipping to the USA - Lower 48 States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Pooki’s Mahi uses 100% recyclable pods. Pooki’s Mahi Kona Decaf coffee for Keurig 1.0 and 2.0 single serve coffee makers is the third product made out of the newer facilities using Komo Kitty℠ private label services and Pooki’s Mahi MeowHattan Project. Pooki’s Mahi MeowHattan Project is a multi-year effort designed to have 100% control of Pooki’s Mahi supply chain - logistics, materials management, product information, manufacturing, and overall operations.”

“We provide fast turns because quick inventory turns provides flexibility with customer needs and meet deadlines quicker without breaking a sweat. I’ve implemented stricter requirements for new resellers interested in selling Pooki’s Mahi 100% single-origin coffee pods. I refuse to converse with companies incapable or refusing to provide COI (Certificate of Insurance). Approved resellers must provide forecast by the end of July of the current year. I have a +/- 1% error rate predicting inventory units per sales channel. Approved resellers must wait until inventories are replenished,” the Silicon Valley technology executive continues.

Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller explains, “I moved Pooki’s Mahi supply chain to California because several mid-west based vendors and suppliers scammed us. The suppliers and vendors ceased to exist without any warning to existing customers. I refuse to give Pooki’s Mahi manufacturing business to firms that lack supply chain processes supporting a technology roadmap, poor supply chain management, and is unable to manage inventory for raw goods. These manufacturing firms will never satisfy Pooki’s Mahi requirements and engage in egregious cybercriminal activities like making counterfeit Pook’s Mahi Kona coffee pods or stealing materials. To be considered, suppliers in Pooki’s Mahi supply chain must provide their company’s certificate of insurance and a statement confirming renewal the policy renewal. Suppliers able to provide the required documents indicate the company has established supply chain processes.”

Pooki’s Mahi supply chain headquarters is in California. Pooki’s Mahi saves over 50% by using improved materials to make the new and improved 100% Kona Decaf coffee pods. Compact packaging protects Kona Decaf coffee pods and enables Pooki’s Mahi to meet two-day shipping throughout the USA. Recyclable pods are carefully packed to preserve coffee pods from transportation dunnage. Product labels are designed onto Pooki’s Mahi ship-ready packaging. First Article Inspections (FAIs) are conducted by Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller.

Pooki’s Mahi monitors inventory levels and fulfills orders out of Silicon Valley-based California supply chain HQ. 100% ownership of the supply chain ensures Pooki’s Mahi customers receive authentic Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona Decaf coffee pods. Marketplaces do not protect Pooki’s Mahi from unauthorized resellers creating counterfeit Decaf Kona coffee pods. Pooki’s Mahi monitors supply chain for fraudulent activities from customers engaged in egregious behavior like filing fraudulent claims like “I never received the order” when the customer signed for the shipment.
