Traditional Medicinals is an independent herbal tea company founded in Sonoma County, California in 1974, a certified B Corp since 2010 and a registered California benefit corporation, with its manufacturing and warehousing plant in Sebastopol and offices in Rohnert Park. Its bagged teas are blended in California from organic herbs sourced in more than 35 countries and reach Canada through a company-led sales team, a WorldPantry-operated online store, and the major grocery chains. Every factor sits in the United States except inputs, which are mostly imported herbs.

Factors

Ownership

US 100%

The vendor's About page calls Traditional Medicinals an independent botanical wellness company and a registered California benefit corporation, and the B Lab directory lists it as headquartered in California and certified since August 2010, with no parent or investor named anywhere. Corporations Canada returned zero results for the name, so there is no Canadian entity, and the California Secretary of State register could not be queried from this session; the online store's terms name the operator as Traditional Medicinals & WorldPantry.com LLC under California law. The CANADA List records the owner as Traditional Medicinals, USA.

Manufacturing

0.0 reported

US 100%

The vendor's Quality page says its dried herbs make their way to its solar-powered facility in Sebastopol, California, and the Careers page describes that site as its manufacturing and warehousing operation, with no other plant or co-packer named. The CANADA List records manufacturing as Various, but nothing found points to production outside California.

CA 5% · US 95%

The vendor's Contact page gives its address as 4515 Ross Road, Sebastopol, California, and the Careers page places its people at the Sebastopol plant and a Rohnert Park office, both in Sonoma County. The About page mentions a company-led sales team in Canada without a Canadian office or headcount, so the small Canadian share is an estimate.

Inputs

8.0 inferred

EU 10% · other 60% · US 30%

The vendor's Quality page says it sourced over 2.25 million pounds of organic herbs in 2021 across more than 100 botanicals from over 35 countries on six continents, and the About page names Trout Lake Farm in Washington as a supplier since the early 1980s. No breakdown by country is published, so the split favouring non-US, non-EU growing regions with a US share for domestic farms and packaging is an estimate. The Canadian online store runs on the US platform WorldPantry.
