A botanist, author, and instructor armed with a doctoral degree in Chinese medicine, Dr. Borten dispenses a trove of tension relieving remedies, such as the Break that Ache bag, which greets fatigued physiques with a soothing Muscle Melt liniment and a pain-relieving bath treatment made of shredded to-do lists. The Winter Spice Delight collection pacifies seasonally dry skin with a moisturizing honey-milk bath and exfoliating chai sugar scrub, and the Relax by Dragontree package groups nine different stress-dispersing products including Relax soap, whose scent conjures up the exact metaphysical opposite of stress: a sleepy puppy in a bathrobe.

A few tours take riders beyond Rose City limits, and include van trips to explore Oregon’s coast or wine country. Pedal Bike Tours keeps tours as safe and comfortable as possible by providing helmets, locks, and lights, as well as rain jackets and jousting lances if necessary.

The chefs at Branch Whiskey Bar make everything from scratch—including butchering their own steak, curing their own bacon, and smoking their own poultry—to put their distinctive stamp on traditional pub dishes. Classic comfort foods take on inventive transformations to result in such unusual plates as Maine lobster corn dogs and macaroni 'n' cheese gratin with Oregon black-truffle oil. On their side of the establishment, the bartenders take the same artisanal approach by infusing their craft concoctions with agave nectar and absinthe rinses. The full bar features an extensive whiskey list with more than 150 whiskeys from around the world available in single glasses, tasting flights, or directly from Sam Elliot’s mustache.
