About Us

We use organic plants to help people feel better. Practicing the ancient art of herbalism, we develop formulations for a full and vibrant life.
Our mission and our joy: Introducing herbs to people that have never experienced the wealth and wellbeing of herbal medicine.

Plant-Based Wellness for Today
Using herbs for health and wellness is as old as humanity. Older, actually, because animals in the wild seek out plants as medicine when they need it. But herbalism is a current practice, evolving all the time. We find that plant-based wellness works nicely with modern times and busy schedules.
The Problem: Coffee Jitters
We love coffee. We didn't want to replace our favorite toasty morning beverage with a coffee substitute.
The Solution to Coffee Jitters
Morning Spruce, an herbal caffeine aid that greatly improves our coffee experience. Instead of caffeine jitters and jangly nerves, we get a long, smooth, energetic ride.
Our customers don't have to go out and pick herbs every morning. Instead, we prepare the herbs in a formula that is easy to store and transport. Then we—and our customers—squeeze a dropperful of Morning Spruce Caffeine Aid into our coffee.
