This place has very good inner bark only Pau D'arco, and sells it at a very low

price. I used it and it tastes just like all the others.

You can also try Pacific Botanicals and they too provide both the powdered and

course supply of Pau d' Arco as well as a lot of other herbs. I have used this

group many times. Just beware of those that overcharge and be fooled by the old

'you get what you pay for' thought.

I am now thoroughly confused. I have been buying Pau-D-Arco as a powder and

making it into a tea as per directions. On the Raintree site they are

selling it strictly as a tincture. Can someone please shed light as to how

Pau D'Arco is to be bought and used?

[Guest guest]

You buy the Pau d' Arco grinds...............powdered is supposedly best to work

with, and make a tea out of it.

A Cup to a gallon of distilled/purified water slow boiled in a SS pot for 25- 30

minutes. It is difficult to filter without getting lots of grinds so one can

'decanter' it as suggested to me. I first strain it through a very

fine SS filter and then decanter it a couple of times.

I also remember 's advice......... " Drink copious amounts " . I also

think I recall mentioning Pacific Botanicals as a source but maybe

someone can let us know if that is a correct recollection. You clearly want a

'bulk' source because at $25.00 a pound the price is steep (no tea pun intended)

and I do clearly recollect stating that prices are " all over the place "

so don't be turned off by what appears to be reasonable prices.

I found an old glass percolator in the basement. It was my mother's

probably from the 50's and I use it to percolate my tea. It is perfect as

the grinds stay in the basket. Showed it to he said it was awsome

because percolating it is like in a chemistry lab. If you google " glass

percolator " you will find it anywhere from antique shops to a repro at

Target. My percolator is made all of glass including the insert and the

basket.

I have been making the tea fro quite some time but on one of the sites that

someone supplied it said that tincture is best and not to buy the powder.

This was confusing.

Sounds like you have something in the percolator. Never saw glass insides too

and I'm ancient. Forget the tincture stuff and stay with the tea. You do not

know the strength of the tincture or whether or not what you need is in the

tincture.

IT is not glass *in the percolator* The percolator is made out of glass.

Looks like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-PYREX-Flameware-Glass-Percolator-7756-MIB-/230480149\

739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0

but you can find a new one with plastic handle and insert for much less at

target.

Greetings,

Corning made the percolators and tea pots out of glass. I cried when my

last one broke, they made fabulous coffee. I would buy one if I could

find it. However, good stainless percolators are available from

Lehmans.com, as well as glass drip coffee makers, if you can afford them.

Bright Blessings,

If you google corning glass percolator you will find many 2nd hand sources

selling them at wildly different prices. There are also newer versions with

plastc insert instead of glass. I found mine in the basement but have since

then googled it to find for others. It really works great for the pau

d'arco tea because the grinds stay in the basket and you do not have to

strain.

[Guest guest]

Joe,

I was purchasing Pau D'arco from Pacific Botanicals. However, what got me

suspicious is the fact that their price for Pau D'arco is 5 times cheaper than

everyone else's. Also they don't provide any detailed information about their

product, neither send you any instructions on how to use it. Do you have any

information on the fact that this is the company that we can trust? I never

heard mentioning this company. He gave me a brochure from

www.pau-d-arco.com. This website doesn't sell any Pau D'arco, however this is

very informative site and that's where I got my initial education on Pau D'arco

from.

Hanna

Hi ,

Thank you for your post. The brochure that I got from you

(http://www.pau-d-arco.com) says that even though the outer bark looks and

smells the same, it's essentially useless products. And I rather pay more for

the product that I know will be beneficial to me. However, the sad thing is, the

regular consumer can't tell the difference if it's inner bark or outer bark or a

mix. Can you recommend a supplier that you trust?

Thanks,

Yana

Prince Imports, Inc., P.O.Box 2507, Gearhart, Oregon 97138 has really good Pau

d'Arco (www.princetea.com) (100% Tabebula Avellanedae). I have several 1 lb.

bags of the tea and it appears to be really good stuff and was recommended to me

as such.

I've seen glass perculators in antique shops and thrift shops. Some in very

good condition. Also some are made by pyrex - stove top.

Did you try ebay?

Ok, let's face it aluminum or plastic is not good for the body....but that is

all that is available anymore. Maybe we can do like they did in the old

days.....just use a pan.

I buy from rain-tree.com. They tell you whether the item you want is organic,

sustainable, etc. I find their products of good quality and not horribly

expensive. It's founder Dr. knows about her products. She was in

Texas before but has moved to Nevada. I am not sure if she still does

consultations. If you have doubts on product to buy, call them.

My notes on Pau D'Arco brands:

www.southernherb.com “reliable, good prices, all from Hanna Kroegerâ€

www.Princetea.com (good brand; $25/lb; affiliated w/ DeLongs)

www.oralchelation.com/taheebo/witch.htm#T4

www.aomega.com/lforce/price.htm (good, economical brand)

I know nothing about these brands.
