These raw Palo Azul chunks, harvested from the Cyclolepis genistoides tree, are known for their distinct fluorescent properties when steeped in water. When prepared as a traditional tea, the wood releases phenolic compounds that create a natural blue tint under reflected light, from naturally occurring flavonoids.

This bulk wood format is a versatile raw material for those who prefer traditional decoctions over processed extracts or powders. Each chunk is cut to a size that allows for consistent water flow and thorough extraction of its natural chemical profile, making it a reliable choice for traditional tea. Unlike shredded bark, these solid wood pieces maintain their integrity and potency for longer storage periods.

This sustainably sourced Palo Azul is free from artificial dyes, additives, or fillers, ensuring a clean and authentic experience for botanical enthusiasts. By using the raw wood, users can verify the quality of the material through its characteristic blue fluorescence, which serves as a natural indicator of purity and strength.
