Tea Farm

Our premium lapacho bark tea is sourced from wild-grown lapacho which has been sustainably harvested in the Brazilian Amazon according to traditional harvesting methods. In order to ensure the long-term preservation of the trees, only small amounts of the bark are harvested from each tree.

Lapacho tea has a light, yellow-green shade, and is reminiscent of the South African rooibos. Its earthy, mineral notes are accompanied by vanilla and an exotically sweet, floral scent.

Amazonian Tea

Lapacho

The lapacho tree (Tabebuia impetiginosa) grows in the Amazon region and can reach a height of 35 meters. Its inner bark is suitable for making a tasty tea, which has a long tradition in the rainforests of Central and South America. Even the Incas revered lapacho as the "tree of life" and drank the tea to alleviate ailments. Today, Lapacho is used in the hospitals of South America as a strengthening tea.

Rich in Minerals and Trace Elements

The bark of the lapacho tree is rich in minerals and trace elements. Our premium lapacho tea contains valuable nutrients such as calcium, iron, potassium, and rare trace elements such as strontium, barium, iodine, and boron, which are often lacking in the average diet.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

Cultivation & Processing

Our premium lapacho bark tea is sourced from wild-grown lapacho which has been sustainably harvested in the Brazilian Amazon according to traditional harvesting methods.

In order to ensure the long-term preservation of the trees, only small amounts of the bark are harvested from each tree. This allows the rainforests to be used in an ecologically sustainable way, avoiding exploitation and destruction.

The inner bark is removed from the outer bark and placed in a small wind tunnel that blows away leaves, dust and earth. The bark is then ready to be chipped and packaged. This natural processing method ensures that the lapacho tea is pesticide-free, environmentally friendly, and retains optimal raw quality.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

For an aromatic flavour: 1 heaped tbsp bark tea per 500ml boiling water in a pot; allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Tea should then steep for 15 minutes. Sweeten to taste (traditionally with honey).

Note: A splash of lemon juice while simmering can refine the flavour and help draw out the minerals. Amazon bark teas are very rich, and individuals with sensitivity should begin with small quantities of tea.

Packaging

High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.

Recommended Teapot

Ideally a large glass or porcelain teapot with a tea strainer.

Recommended Storage

Ideally store in a quality tea caddy made from cherry tree bark (wooden, kabazaiku chazutsu) or an airtight, double-coated metal tin.
