Lapacho Tea

Lapacho tea, also known as Pau d’Arco, is a distinctive herbal infusion made from the inner bark of the Tabebuia avellanedae tree, which grows in the rainforests of South America. Long used in traditional medicine by indigenous peoples of the Andes and Amazon regions, lapacho is valued for its potential immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, thanks to active compounds like lapachol and quinoids. The tea has a naturally caffeine-free profile and delivers a smooth, earthy flavour with subtle notes of vanilla and spice. When prepared—typically by simmering the bark gently rather than steeping like a standard tea—Lapacho yields a rich, nourishing brew with a long-standing heritage of natural healing.
