Our Beginnings

Planting The Seed

The founder John Wong  began a small herbal business to provide supplies for student at the California School of Herbal Studies. When he moved to Berkeley, the company was split into a retail herb shop and a mail order company.

Passing The Rose

The founder enlisted the help of his friend Juliet Mary, a teaching herbalist, wilderness guide, and avid gardener. In 2013, Juliet bought the small herbal business at her California home. She developed and formulated a line of natural products, including teas, face creams, and aroma sprays and oils.

Budding Vision

First Bloom

Still home-based, Be herbs moved to North San Juan, California. The business quickly grew, and the company soon became  known by herbalists and natural health stores as the go-to source for high-quality herbs.

A Partnership Blossoms
