Cinchona Bark

Cinchona Bark is a distinctive botanical ingredient known for its intensely bitter flavor and historical significance in traditional herbal preparations. Sourced from the bark of cinchona trees, it has a long history of use as a source of quinine. Its strong, earthy bitterness makes it quite different from mild herbal teas and is of particular interest to those exploring the history of botanical ingredients.

We offer cinchona bark for those interested in learning about traditional botanicals and their historical applications. Due to its naturally occurring quinine and other alkaloids, cinchona bark requires particular caution and should not be treated as an ordinary tea ingredient. Quinine can cause serious side effects and interact with medications, and the alkaloid content of raw bark can vary. Avoid self-medicating with cinchona bark or preparing it for internal use without medical supervision. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before considering any product containing cinchona.
