Lapacho Tea - Organic-Gourmet Tea

This beverage is actually the inner bark taken from the Tabeuia avallanedoe to make lapacho tea. The trees suffer no harm when their bark is peeled off as they grow again relatively quickly. The tree is native to the tropical rain forests between Mexico and Argentina where it can live for up to 700 years. It is known as the divine tree. The watery extract from the bark was used centuries ago for natural healing, and later, the Indians in Paraguay, Peru and Bolivia made tea from the lapacho bark as a drink to enjoy and to heal. History indicates that the native peoples have been using this beverage for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. It has been used as a treatment fevers, infections, colds, flu, cancer, arthritis, diabetes and many more ailments. We cannot make medical claims and if you are under the care of a healthcare provider, we always reccomend discussing alternative treatments prior to use.

Brewing instructions:
Add 4 level teaspoons to 32 oz of boiling water, let simmer for 5 minutes and let steep for 15 minutes. Or, use 1 teaspoon per 6 oz cup and steep for 10 minutes. Sweeten with SBS Teas Flavored Sugar Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar. Iced Tea Instructions:
Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
