STROB Apothecary

03/29/2026

Our intern applications are officially open!

STRŌB is a tiny, women + queer-owned apothecary run on a whole lot of love and a whole lot of tea. We don't have employees yet, we have interns who learn alongside us, and many of them become part of our extended family.

As an intern, you'll get mentorship from working practitioners, hands-on experience with herbs, teas, crystals, aromatherapy, and shop life, access to our community and classes, a generous product discount, and unlimited tea on shift (yes, go ahead and make yourself a whole pot).

We are looking for people who are curious, kind, and excited to learn. You don't need to be an expert. You need to have a genuine interest and you need to care.

This is a trade-based internship, your time and energy in exchange for real education, real community, and real growth, and is not an employment opportunity.

Link to apply is also on our website footer. We can't wait to chat with you!!

Dear STRŌB Community,

We talk a lot about what's on our shelves, and while we do love our shelves, did you know some of the most meaningful work we do happens when we create something from scratch, just for you?

Custom blending is kind of our whole thing. It's where herbalism, aromatherapy, and deep listening come together to make something that didn't exist before: a perfume that tells your story, a tea blend for your wedding day, a salve made for exactly what your body needs right now.

Here's what we can create with you.

🕯️ Custom Perfume Blending 🕯️

🧴Perfume Blending Sessions
Gather your friends (up to 8 people) and spend an afternoon making your own custom fragrance using natural botanical materials. You'll get a scent worksheet, a mini lesson in natural perfumery, and hands-on guidance as you build your blend. Roll-ons start at $25.

🔮Bespoke Soul Perfume
This one's deeper. A signature scent crafted with information from your astrological chart and Human Design profile, a fragrance that reflects who you are and where you're heading. It's a whole journey involving consultation, formulation, and refinement. Starting at $125.

🍵 Custom Tea Blending for Weddings & Events 🍵
Getting married? Throwing a milestone birthday? Hosting a corporate event? We'll formulate a one-of-a-kind tea blend for your occasion: something to serve at the event, include in favors, or mix into your signature cocktail. You'll work directly with one of our tea formulators through tastings and refinements until it's exactly right.

Your formula gets saved forever, so you can reorder your blend anytime. Some of our favorite custom teas have become traditions that get reordered and shipped out frequently.

🌿 Custom Aromatherapy Preparations 🌿
This one's the easiest. Just walk in! No appointment needed.

Work one-on-one with a clinical aromatherapist right at the counter to create a custom salve, body oil, essential oil blend, roll-on, or inhaler tailored to your specific needs and wellness goals.

Preparations start at $10 and many can be made while you wait. You can leave with something that didn't exist 20 minutes ago, made specifically for your body and your situation.

💚 Why Custom Matters 💚
We became herbalists and aromatherapists because we believe wellness should be personal. Off-the-shelf works great for a lot of people, but sometimes you need something made exactly for your body, your occasion and your story.

That's what custom blending offers: the experience of being seen, heard, and understood well enough to create something wholly new and specifically tailored to your inspirations and discernments.

Curious about any of these services? Stop by the shop, reply to this email, or visit our website footer to learn more.

With good scents and better blends,
The STRŌB Apothecary Team 🌿✨
