Red Root (Ceanothus spp.) is a hardy North American shrub that has been valued for generations for both its practical and herbal uses. The cut and sifted roots display a pinkish-red hue, with a naturally spicy, minty scent and a high tannin content that adds depth to their flavor and aroma.

Traditionally, the root has been harvested in spring or summer and dried in the shade, producing a striking natural dye. Beyond crafting, red root can also be steeped as a tea or blended into other herbal infusions for everyday use.

Ingredients: Organic Red Root

Are all of your ingredients organic?

We love providing herbs that are fresh, pure, and of the highest quality. Whenever possible, we source from small family farms that grow with care for the land. Some of our partners are USDA-certified organic, while others practice organic methods but choose not to certify due to the cost.

Because our own facility is not USDA-certified, we don’t label our finished products as “organic.” Instead, you’ll see “organic” noted in the ingredient lists when that particular ingredient was grown on a certified organic farm. We want to stay transparent while still offering you the cleanest, most responsibly grown ingredients we can find.

We’re grateful to support local growers, and we believe that when ingredients are raised with integrity, you can taste and feel the difference in every cup.

Herbs are legally sold by the ounce but often we get asked how many cups are in a bag.

This herb has an approximate average of 5 cups per pound.

Cut and sifted red root can be:

  • Steeped in hot water (not boiled) for a flavorful tea
  • Blended with herbs like peppermint or chamomile for balance
  • Infused in alcohol or vinegar for homemade tinctures or extracts
  • Used as a natural dye (green from flowers, red from root)

Store in an airtight container away from temperature extremes and sunlight.
