About Pau d’Arco Bark

Pau d’Arco bark comes from the inner bark of trees in the Tabebuia genus, native to the rainforests of Central and South America. Indigenous cultures have harvested this bark for centuries, preparing it as an herbal tea as part of traditional daily and seasonal practices.

The bark is carefully dried and brewed to produce a deep, woody infusion with a naturally earthy and slightly bitter character. Pau d’Arco has long been respected for its presence in traditional herbal preparations rather than for light or delicate flavor.

While this ingredient is not certified organic, it is responsibly sourced and selected for quality and authenticity, honoring the cultural traditions associated with Pau d’Arco tea.

Benefits & Wellness Role

Pau d’Arco bark has traditionally been used in herbal tea rituals centered on heritage, balance, and intentional preparation. Its bold profile encourages slow sipping and mindful enjoyment.

Pau d’Arco bark is commonly appreciated for:

  • Its long-standing role in South American herbal traditions
  • Providing a robust, earthy herbal tea experience
  • Being part of focused, intentional tea rituals
  • Its naturally caffeine-free nature

Because of its strength, Pau d’Arco tea is often enjoyed as a standalone infusion rather than blended with lighter botanicals.

Brewing Ritual & How to Enjoy

To brew Pau d’Arco Bark Tea, steep one tea bag in hot water just off the boil for 5–7 minutes. This allows the bark’s woody depth and herbal bitterness to fully develop.

Enjoy Pau d’Arco tea when:

  • You’re exploring traditional South American herbal teas
  • You prefer bold, earthy botanical flavors
  • You want a caffeine-free tea with intensity
  • You’re creating a deliberate, mindful tea ritual

Pro Tips:

  • Start with a shorter steep if new to bitter herbs
  • Enjoy warm during quiet, reflective moments
  • Pair with calming surroundings for a balanced experience
