About Chá de Bugre
This bag holds only the leaf, the part steeped for the tea, wild-harvested, then dried and ground with nothing added. Our Cha de Bugre Capsules hold the leaves, bark and fruit together.
For the tea, the ground leaf is steeped rather than simmered: a teaspoon in a covered cup of just-boiled water for 10 minutes, then strained, and taken before a meal. More in our Chá de Bugre herb guide.
