Dual Launch Marks Major Sustainability Milestone as Traditional Medicinals Expands into Mood Support Category
ROHNERT PARK, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / Traditional Medicinals®, the leading botanical wellness company and Certified B Corporation, today announces the launch of two new organic herbal teas: Rosy Mood and Stress Ease ® Calm. These blends represent Traditional Medicinals' first Fair for Life® certified offerings, marking a significant milestone in the brand's commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainability as it celebrates 50 years of botanical innovation.
As Traditional Medicinals enters the mood support category with Rosy Mood and expands its popular Stress Ease® line with a new blend, both teas exemplify the brand's dedication to supporting ethical sourcing and sustainability at every step of the supply chain. Formulated to support the emotional and lifestyle needs of today's consumers, Rosy Mood and Stress Ease Calm deliver plant-powered rituals that provide accessible, botanical solutions for everyday well-being. Rosy Mood inspires joy and uplifts mood, while Stress Ease Calm supports intentional unwinding and builds resilience to stress, two essentials for modern living.*
A recent Talker Research survey found that seven in ten people believe their outlook on life would improve if they could better manage stress. "By infusing more joy and calm into everyday rituals, we can help reduce stress levels," said Dr. Taryn Forrelli, ND, Traditional Medicinals' Chief Science Officer. "That's why, in honor of our 50th anniversary, we created teas designed to inspire wonder, spark joy, and provide a sense of calm. Rosy Mood lifts the spirit with every cup, while Stress Ease Calm-powered by adaptogens and other high-quality herbs-offers a restorative moment to unwind and thrive through life's challenges. Crafted with Fair for Life certified ingredients, these blends support emotional well-being while honoring the deep roots of traditional herbal wisdom."
Fair for Life Certification: A Rigorous Standard for Social and Environmental Responsibility
Fair for Life is one of the world's most rigorous certifications for social responsibility, environmental sustainability, and fair trade. For Traditional Medicinals, achieving this certification means partnering directly with wild collectors, smallholder farmers, and cooperatives to ensure fairness across the entire supply chain. Rosy Mood features Fair for Life certified butterfly pea flower and cinnamon, while Stress Ease Calm includes certified ashwagandha and shatavari.
This milestone reflects the brand's longstanding commitment to ethical sourcing and community investment-more than $20 million over the past decade in regions from Eastern Europe to India. It also marks a crucial step toward Traditional Medicinals' ambitious goal of sourcing 80% of its herbs from fair-certified origins by 2030.
"Fair for Life is more than a label, it's a commitment woven into every step of the journey," said Jamie Horst, Traditional Medicinals' chief purpose officer. "Rosy Mood and Stress Ease Calm reflect our commitment to ensure dignity, equity, and long-term support for communities and ecosystems from seed to cup."
The Brand's Expansion into Mood Support Offerings
Rosy Mood was formulated by Traditional Medicinals team of herbalists, drawing on decades of collective wisdom, including the inspiration of Traditional Medicinals' Co-founder Rosemary Gladstar. Rosy Mood marks Traditional Medicinals' latest entry into the mood support category. The blend brings together uplifting damiana, heart-soothing rose, and one of Rosemary's favorite botanicals: butterfly pea flower, for a colorful pause in the day. Thanks to the natural pigments in butterfly pea flower and hibiscus, Rosy Mood shifts color depending on the water's pH when brewed, creating a range of vibrant shades from bright pink to dark purple.
Stress Ease Calm joins the popular Stress Ease family of teas with Tension Relief, Focus, and Immune, as a gentle, everyday tea formulated to support a peaceful state of mind. With a harmonizing blend of ashwagandha, shatavari, and honeybush, this tea combines adaptogens and nervines to help build resilience to occasional stress and restore inner calm.
50 Years of Herbal Wellness
The launch of Rosy Mood and Stress Ease Calm continues Traditional Medicinals' "50 Years in Bloom" anniversary celebration. The anniversary year has featured significant initiatives including the launch of Herbs for All, which has awarded over $75,000 in grants to nonprofit partners advancing health and herbal wellness access in their communities. The company has invested more than $200,000 in broadening access to high-quality herbal wellness through community education programs.
