About Worldwide Botanicals

Our Story The quest to find premium botanicals for teas and supplements began here in the US in the early ‘70s when there were very few importers of any kind of herbs at all. The fledgling natural foods industry was just being birthed and along came a group of twenty-something-year-olds who thought picking herbs in the mountains of Colorado was cool. Their enthusiasm for the health benefits of herbs led them to make a living from their fascination with herbal teas.
 Thus, a young company was formed that became Celestial Seasonings, which soon outgrew any domestic suppliers. The job of searching for the best botanicals from around the world fell to a young and enthusiastic 22-year-old who loved the adventure of traveling afar. Worldwide Botanicals features organic herbs that are imported directly from growers and collectors around the world including some here in the US. We specialize in unique botanicals that we developed for use in our other brands' products, such as chicory, carob, chia seeds, rooibos, and peppermint. We also feature rare herbs like white sage and ramón seeds where we have pioneered their sustainable cultivation or wild collection to preserve wild habitat.Read their story
