Our Story

Rooted in family, gathered with respect

Chaney Root changed our lives. What began as a humble family ritual — a warm, earthy cup passed down through generations — restored a sense of vitality, energy, and well-being we never forgot.

Our founder, Israel Del Rosario, grew up with deep roots in the land. Today, our family carefully and respectfully harvests Chaney Root from the wild forests of Florida and Georgia — taking only mature roots, and always leaving the forest to flourish.

We are now honored to share this powerful traditional root with the world: cleaned by hand, slowly dried, and packaged with the same care our grandparents gave it.

“From our forest to your cup.”

— Israel Del Rosario, Founder
