Earthy, bold, and deeply connected to South American botanical tradition, Pau d’Arco is made for experienced herbalists and adventurous botanical explorers.

Also known as Ipe Roxo, Lapacho, and Taheebo, Pau d’Arco comes from the inner bark of a flowering tree native to regions of Central and South America. Unlike delicate leaves and flowers, the cut bark is traditionally simmered in water to create a robust botanical decoction.

The finished preparation has a deep, woody aroma, mild natural bitterness, and a clean, earthy finish. Pau d’Arco is offered as an individual raw botanical ingredient for traditional preparation, botanical study, and informed herbal practice.
