Two Bay Area Almond Milk Companies Are Offering Up All Kinds Of Flavor

As almond milk continues to grow in popularity – drought be damned – two local companies are distinguishing themselves by offering a variety of different flavors; everything from matcha to ginger to chai to cacao to turmeric to a root beer float.

The Living Apothecary and Three Trees are both women-owned businesses. And while one is now based in San Mateo, and the other is in the process of building its own kitchen space in Richmond, for a time, they were both at The Berkeley Kitchens, at the same time.

“It could been seen as hard when there’s more competition, but I like to think that we’re all creating a legitimate beverage space for almond milk, we’re all helping to make it more of an accessible and understood beverage,” said Shari Stein Curry, a founder of The Living Apothecary, a business that began in Oakland, in 2012, then moved to Berkeley, and will soon be in Richmond.
