I’ve moved more times than I can count. Through every move, one thing has come with me: a Chinese herb cabinet.

I grew up with Chinese herbs and hated them as a kid - the bitterness, the smell, being told to take them. Then as chance would have it, I met my husband whose mom is a Chinese doctor. For the past decade, she’s cared for us from afar by keeping our herb cabinet stocked and I've found myself returning to the remedies I once resisted.

BANLAN takes the best of that cabinet and reimagines it for everyday life - sharing what our family knows and trusts with you.
