Our Mission
Kota Botanics is on a mission to empower you to take back your health and return to your true self through the power of hemp and other natural plants. We hold a very high standard in this rapidly growing industry by working directly with our selected artisanal farmers to ensure quality, consistency, and craftsmanship of our products. We focus on bringing our customers true organic, clean, and safe products without adding any fillers and chemicals. We work with top industry chemists and herbalists to formulate our proprietary products with functioning herbs and botanicals to ensure the efficacy. Safety and Transparency are extremely important to us. That means multiple rounds of third-party lab testing are executed to ensure accurate concentrations of cannabinoids and the total absence of any contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides or residual solvents. Plants can do amazing things for our earth and for our health. We pride ourselves in providing a plant-based health solution to our customers who seek for the highest quality products with craftsmanship and integrity.
Our Quality
When it comes to hemp CBD oil, quality matters from seed to shelf. We partner with an amazing small family hemp farm who puts their heart and soul into every stage of the cultivation process. We have a great relationship with our farm and we know how hard they work to bring the top quality, organic sun-grown hemp to market. Our phytocannabinoid-rich (PCR) hemp is sun grown organically on a small farm in Berkshire, New York. Almost everything was done by hand, from cultivation to extraction. From seed to bottle, Kota Botanics CBD is grown, extracted, and bottled at the same facility by the same people that we work closely with. We believe in quality over quantity. That’s why we chose to partner with our farm instead of going with the larger commercial cultivation facilities. Triple lab-tested, Kota Botanics is free of mold, bacteria, pesticides, solvents, and heavy metals.
Our Transparency
We care about what our customers put in their bodies. To ensure the safety of our products, we have set a standard of rigorous three part third-party lab testing. All of our batch results are public to our customers.
In tandem with our farm, two rounds of different batch tests are performed.
Batch no. 1 tests the overall hemp extract/distillate. Our farm supplies a large amount of hemp extract/distillate to a third-party lab for a full panel test which includes cannabinoids potency, pesticides, heavy metals and residual solvents. This test guarantees that the farm’s extraction process produces the same quality of hemp extract/distillate every single time. It also verifies that the actual hemp extract/distillate itself is a clean, safe product.
Batch no. 2 focuses specifically on cannabinoid, terpene and microbial analysis to guarantee safety and accurate dosing in all of our product formulas.
Our Authenticity
Kota Botanics is a real brand for real people. Every product we formulate is something that we’ve personally tested many times and wholeheartedly stand by. We are passionate for what we do and we are fueled by a genuine connection with our customers and our mission.
When our founder Vivian started her CBD journey, she vowed to come up with a high quality product that’s also organic, authentic, efficient and genuine. She spent numerous months researching and finally found a partner farm to bring Kota Botanics CBD to life. Not just any farm though – Vivian wanted to work directly with a group of people who value and acknowledge the power of plants by sharing their passion for growing and caring for high quality hemp.
Our Social Responsibility
“There is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens – every day, in every community.” According to USDA, there are more than 11 million children in the United States who live in “food insecure” homes. This number dates from before the coronavirus pandemic. Today, projections show that 18 million children could face hunger this year, meaning 1 in 4 kids could face hunger. No household should go without the necessities for every family member to live a healthy life.”
As a small business owned by a woman of color, who is also a mother of two young children, Kota Botanics is committed to join the movement of ending child hunger in the US. For every product we sell, we donate a meal to the No Kid Hungry program.
