Kyoto Botanicals is a Colorado-based botanical wellness company focusing on THC-free CBD and functional mushroom wellness. When I first wrote this story in 2020, my goal was simple: to celebrate our Colorado roots and commitment to living local, deriving inspiration from the natural world I love so much, and delivering wellness at a human level through personal engagement and deep education.
Six years later, the heart of Kyoto Botanicals hasn’t changed and never will. We are still proudly independent and family owned, still shipping ourselves from right here in Colorado, and managing every customer interaction personally. This is our story, rooted in Colorado and growing with you.

Crafted Colorado CBD Products
Our local Colorado community is a huge part of who we are as a CBD company. As I worked to develop Kyoto Botanicals products, I wanted to ensure that we did everything possible to support our great state and the people who live here. We wanted our products to be more than just high-quality CBD tinctures, topicals and gummies. We wanted them to help as many people as possible in Colorado through the benefits of nature as well as through the economic investment in our community.
Beyond our local CBD supply chain, we work with partners across the state whenever possible. If you are a Colorado resident, you can find our CDA-compliant, THC-free products at verified local retailers throughout the state. This local connection goes a long way to improving our ability to deliver the highest quality CBD products to you while also improving quality of life for people across the state. Our packages and labels come from a printing company in Grand Junction, Colorado. The equipment we purchased to bottle and package our CBD products was built and installed by a Denver manufacturing equipment company. Our not-for-profit partner Romp Global is based in Denver, Colorado. Our lab that tests our products to make sure we are delivering only the best CBD to you is also located in Denver, Colorado.
We are committed to providing our customers and our state with not only the highest quality CBD products available, but also as much local investment as possible. We are from Colorado and want to do all we can to bring the many benefits of hemp, both economic and health & wellness, to as many people as we can. We believe in the amazing power of this plant and hope to make it a lasting economic and health boon for Colorado for years to come. We hope you will join us in supporting our local economies as much as possible.
What’s New in 2026
Since I first shared this story, we’ve expanded our product line, deepened our community partnerships, and remained proudly independent. Today, Kyoto Botanicals continues to craft products like USDA-certified organic CBD oils, cooling CBD creams, vegan broad spectrum CBD gummies, and mushroom + cacao adaptogenic brew. Every product is still carefully made, lab tested for transparency, and shipped by us in Colorado.
