Our Story

I crave that intimate moment when you watch someone taste something extraordinary for the first time. - Sondra Wells

Ingredients matter. Our gourmet tea cookies are simple. It is our belief that great tea cookies start with great ingredients. That is why we handcraft our tea cookies with all natural organic ingredients, from our Napa, California kitchen. In choosing our ingredient partners, we seek companies with an artisan approach, each striving to create the purest products possible. Our flour is unbleached and made from a premium blend of organic hard red wheat. Our butter is Strauss Family Creamery’s European Style Organic Sweet Cream Butter with over 85% butterfat, made in a 1950's small batch butter churn. Our sugar is organic pure cane sugar. We also believe that you appreciate unique flavors and have an adventurous and educated palate. That is why we carefully select the most aromatic culinary herbs and spices. We use the actual herb or spice, not a tincture or flavoring. Yes, the leaves, flowers, stems or seeds are incorporated into our dough using our proprietary method. We hope our tea cookies help call to mind a calm, in-the-moment lifestyle. Our tea cookies complement tea of course, but we wanted to also invoke the slower, present, not-to-be-rushed moment we are all craving today. One that is reminiscent of the art of making and sitting down to a cup of tea. At Botanical Bakery we see the quiet confident relationship between the company, the ingredients, you and the tea cookie. It is why we say, Authentic. Distinctive. Unapologetic. Is it you... or the tea cookie?
