Bringing the Flavors of Tropics to American Tables

Welcome to Chabuca’s, where the name itself—meaning “an artist in the kitchen”—reflects our passion for transforming meals and moments with the vibrant, aromatic herbs and herbal infusions of Vietnam’s lush tropics. We’re more than just a culinary herb store; we’re your gateway to the authentic flavors and time-honored traditions. Whether you’re a home cook eager to elevate your recipes or a tea enthusiast seeking a soothing, flavorful escape, our carefully curated collection promises something extraordinary.

Our journey began in 2002 as Chabuca’s Steaks & Rotisserie, delighting diners with bold, herb-infused dishes & steaks. From 2010 to 2012, we evolved into Chabuca’s International Grill, expanding our culinary horizons. Since 2013, we’ve focused on what we love most—bringing you the finest culinary herbs and herbal infusions, sourced straight from Vietnam’s fertile landscapes. With over two decades of experience, we’ve honed our expertise in delivering nature’s best to your kitchen.

At Chabuca’s, we see herbs as storytellers—each one a bridge to the cultures and cuisines of the world. Grown in tropical climate, where rich soil and warm sun nurture unparalleled flavor, our herbs—like the vivid blue Butterfly Pea Flower or the earthy, licorice-kissed Star Anise—are handpicked for their potency, purity, and versatility. These aren’t just ingredients; they’re invitations to explore bold seasonings, craft healing tisanes, or master aromatic spice blends.

Our deep-rooted relationships with growers—built on years of trust—ensure every leaf, flower, and root is sustainably cultivated and harvested at its peak. This commitment to quality and authenticity means you’re savoring the real thing, whether you’re steeping a calming cup of herbal tea or infusing your dishes with Turmeric’s golden warmth. We’re proud to uphold ethical sourcing practices that honor both the land and the people who tend it.

Backed by our extensive experience and dedication to excellence, we’re here to inspire your culinary creativity and tea rituals. From seasoned chefs to curious beginners, we invite you to dive into the world of tropical botanicals—cooking, sipping, and savoring the natural goodness of finest herbs. Let’s embark on this flavorful adventure together!
