About
About YERBERO
In a Mexican market the yerbero is the herbalist: the stall with sacks of leaves and bark, where you ask for a herb by the name your grandmother used and get it wrapped in paper. YERBERO took that word for its name.
What the brand sells
YERBERO has sold dried herbs in the US since 2022, 4 years now. The catalog is what a herbolaria counter holds: whole leaves such as soursop, guava and mango, flowers such as hibiscus and calendula, barks and roots such as palo azul, cuachalalate and wereke, and stems such as canutillo.
Around the herbs sits the pantry that a Mexican kitchen reaches for: mole paste from Xico and from Puebla, unrefined salt from the Cuyutlán lagoon in Colima, cal for nixtamal, mayocoba beans from Sinaloa and chapulines from Oaxaca. Then the sahumerio shelf, with white sage bundles, the rose of Jericho and black ritual salt.
One plant to a bag
A YERBERO bag holds a single plant, and it is named three ways: in Spanish, in English and, where the bag prints it, by its botanical name. You will not find blends, capsules or tea bags with a promise on the front. If you grew up drinking hoja de guanábana or palo azul, you know what you are looking for, and the bag lets you find it by that name. If you cannot find a herb, write to the people at YERBERO and ask for it by the name you know.
Most bags print the way to make the herb on the back, and our product cards copy it word for word: a tablespoon steeped three to five minutes under a lid, a simmer of a quarter of an hour, four or five soursop leaves to the cup. Where a bag shows no method we can read, the card gives the one in the product description and says where it comes from. Where a bag names the plant differently from the market, as palo azul does, the card says so rather than guessing.
Who YERBERO is for
People who already know these herbs: families who drink té de guayaba or agua de jamaica at home, cooks who need avocado leaves for barbacoa or hierba santa for tamales, and people looking for the rose of Jericho they remember from a grandmother's shelf. The herbolario A to Z is built for them, filed by the Spanish market name.
Herbs as food
Dried herbs are sold as food, and a cup of tea is not a medicine. Some herbs on our shelves carry real cautions, and the herb safety page gathers what public health sources say about them, with links. We sell the catalog, and payment, shipping and returns happen at our retail partner's checkout.
