These tall, flowering trees grow naturally in the rainforests and highlands of Central and South America, particularly in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.

Indigenous cultures in these regions have used Pau d’Arco for centuries to brew medicinal infusions from its inner bark.

Today, it’s enjoyed globally for its earthy flavour and traditional health-supporting properties.
