One sleepless season
Our founder made her first herbal warmer during a stretch of stress and sleepless nights. A spoonful of dried herbs, a tea light, and twenty quiet minutes became the one part of the day that was entirely hers.
Our story
Made for the slow
part of the day
Cedar & Zen began in 2014, with one handmade warmer and a season of sleepless nights. Today we make stoneware rituals and whole-botanical blends for homes that want to slow down.
Why we exist
We weren't trying to start a company. We were looking for a way to put the day down, and found it in a handful of herbs and a little warmth.
How it began
From one sleepless season
to a nightly ritual
Chapter II
A gift for friends
The warmer became an evening ritual, then something she made for the people she loved. Friends asked for more blends, and then for warmers of their own.
Today
A small company, still slow
Cedar & Zen is now a small company helping thousands of people slow down at home. The idea hasn’t changed: real plants, gentle warmth, and a few minutes that belong to you.
What we believe
Small rituals,
taken seriously
Everything we make follows a few simple rules. They keep our blends honest and our warmers worth keeping.
-
01
Whole botanicals, nothing synthetic
Real dried flowers, leaves, peel and wood. No synthetic fragrance, no dyes, nothing added to make a scent louder than the plant made it.
-
02
Warmth, not smoke
Our warmers gently warm herbs over a tea light. Nothing burns, so there’s no smoke or soot, just a slow release of scent for 30 to 40 minutes.
-
03
Made to keep
Heavy, hand-finished stoneware, made to live on a table for years rather than be replaced next season.
-
04
Ritual over routine
A few quiet minutes, chosen on purpose. We design for the pause at the end of the day, not for another thing to get through.
-
05
Honest about plants
We share what research has explored and say plainly what it hasn’t. A ritual is a way to slow down, not a cure.

The warmer
Hand-finished stoneware, made to keep
Each warmer is heavy, glazed stoneware with a shallow dish above a tea light. Add a spoonful of herbs, light it, and let the warmth do the rest. It works with our blends, or with dried herbs, citrus peel and loose tea from your own kitchen.
