Our love of tonic herbalism was born through our keen study and exploration of the traditional Taoist herbal system, and we feel Di Tao herbs offer a medicinal profile that is directly aligned with the initial reverence placed on these potent tonic herbs.
Di Tao is an ancient practice that loosely translates to sourcing something from its 'original place' or 'spiritual homeland,' a method that results in a product that is robust, potent, and medicinally sound.
Our founder Mason Taylor, works intimately with the independent farmers who nourish and care for these beautiful and potent tonic herbs. Mason has personally observed the practices these individuals employ, walking alongside the farmers and foragers, witnessing firsthand their methodologies that are deeply grounded in tradition, ritual, sustainability, and respect for the land.
