About INA Botanicals & Tea

Our goal at INA Botanicals & Tea is to craft delicious blends that are enjoyed everyday to support your personal growth and wellness. We choose suppliers that cultivate high-quality, organic herbs and teas and we hand-blend each loose leaf batch. Starting out as a young professional in New York City over 15 years ago, my gateway to tea opened up each morning with a paper cup and tea bag of Earl Grey from the local bodega. I quickly turned to tea and herbs not only for the morning pick-me-ups and afternoon parties, but for their holistic health benefits. My long days had moments of reprieve created by herbal self-care rituals that were allies in my bustling career in marketing and product development. Fast forward to when I became pregnant with my first child, I didn’t find a product that provided the quality, flavor, or support I was looking for, nor was there a brand that connected with my busy, city lifestyle. This is when the idea of INA was born and since then I launched in 2021 in San Francisco. As an Herbalist I've formally studied with Verse School of Herbal Medicine and The Herbal Academy. My knowledge is a composition of herbal traditions stemming from my Filipinx ancestral roots, Western Herbalism, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Inspired by nature and ancient practices, I'm humbled to create nourishing blends that can be sipped daily to fit any task of today. - Bernadette, Founder & HerbalistRead their story
