At Traditional Medicinals we've been serving plants, people, and the planet since 1974. We are an independent botanical herbal wellness company that embraces sustainability, ingredient purity, and social and environmental activism. A Certified B Corporation and California Certified Green Business, we’re the leading seller of wellness tea in the US. Our roots go back to a third generation herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar, who was raised close to the earth in the farmlands of Northern California. In the late 1960s, while living in the coastal redwood forest, she met community activist and environmentalist Drake Sadler. The young couple was part of a movement of back-to-the-land baby boomers seeking an alternative lifestyle, including natural foods and herbal remedies. Together, they shared a vision for the rebirth of herbalism in North America, and co-founded Traditional Medicinals, pioneering the herbal medicinal tea category. Over the years we have grown to become the fourth-largest bagged tea company in the US. Today, we are proud to be the number one medicinal, organic, and Fair Trade herbal products company in the US. We offer over 57 varieties of medicinal herbal teas and products, each lovingly created by herbalists and rigorously tested for quality by botanical experts. Find our products distributed nationally across 70,000 retail outlets in North America in all channels, from drug, health and natural food stores to major grocery chains, mass market retailers, and online retailers.

The Yerba Mate Co is the self-distribution company for Guayakí Yerba Mate. At Guayakí Yerba Mate, we're about much more than just yerba mate: we believe yerba mate culture is an invitation to life. Our mantra, “COME TO LIFE” is an invitation to personal, social, ecological and cultural regeneration. The regeneration of the planet is at the heart of our business model. Every time you purchase Guayakí Yerba Mate, you're creating a positive global impact. We call it Market Driven Regeneration™, and it's the driving force behind everything we do. Yerba mate. We love it, we drink it, but what, exactly, is it? Yerba mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate, all in one beverage. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world: coffee, tea, kola, cocoa, and guarana, yerba mate triumphs as a balanced, naturally caffeinated option. It is brewed from the nourishing leaves of the yerba mate species of holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis), which is native to the South American Atlantic rainforest.

Great tea, friendly stores and above-and-beyond customer service. It seemed like a simple idea, but we couldn’t find anyone else that was doing it. So in 2008, we decided to take matters into our own hands. You can choose from over 100 types of tea, including exclusive blends, limited edition seasonal collections, traditional straight teas and exotic infusions from around the world. With colourful, modern packaging, sleek in-house designed tea accessories and a friendly, welcoming attitude, DAVIDsTEA offers a tea experience that is fun, fresh and unintimidating. DAVIDsTEA is a non-Indigenous brand and company. We acknowledge that we are operating and living on largely unceded Indigenous lands that have been inhabited by many Nations for thousands of years. Tiohtià:ke (Montréal) is the home of our organization and we recognize the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation as the custodians of the land. We also recognize that this area upon which we meet daily to conduct our operations is historically known as a gathering place for many other Indigenous Peoples. We’re a proudly certified Great Place to Work®, named one of 2021’s Best Workplaces Managed by Women and one of 2022’s Best Workplaces in Retail & Hospitality!
