From Garden to Cup
We started with loose leaf teas—each blend carefully crafted and rooted in herbal traditions from around the world. No trends, no gimmicks. Just honest ingredients, thoughtfully combined, for people looking for something real.
The teas connected with our community in ways we didn't expect. People weren't just drawn to the taste—they felt the intention behind every blend. They wanted herbal wellness that felt authentic, grounded, and made sense in their daily lives. That response showed us it was time to grow.
Ancient Herbs, Zero Wait Time
So we added ready-to-drink canned teas—same herbal goodness, zero hassle. No brewing, no waiting, just crack it open and go. Whether you're steeping loose leaf at home or grabbing a can on your way out the door, you're tapping into traditions that have supported health for centuries.
We're still a small business. We still care deeply about every blend. And we're still here for one reason: to share herbs that work, made simple for today. The bear essentials, crafted with care.
Founder
Martha didn't start out as an herbalist—she was a physical therapist, spending years helping people move better and heal from injury. But the more she worked with the body, the more she realized that healing isn't just about treatment—it's about support. That's when she turned to something humans have relied on for thousands of years: plants.
Over 25 years ago, Martha began studying herbal traditions from around the world. She grew her own gardens, foraged in wild spaces, and learned which herbs had been trusted for generations to gently support health. What started as curiosity became a passion, and eventually, a mission.
