About Amargo
Amargo (Quassia amara), also sold as Surinam Quassia, is a small tree of the quassia family. Its wood is known as a natural bitter, and this bag holds the bark.
Steeped in just-boiled water, the ground bark gives a strongly bitter cup, as its Spanish name suggests, which is why the traditional measure is only 1/2 teaspoon. More in our Amargo herb guide.
Also from Raintree: Amazon A-P and Amazon A-V.
Amargo Powder FAQ
Can't find your answer? Contact us.
How do I prepare Amargo Powder?
Traditionally as an infusion (a steeped tea): 1/2 teaspoon per cup of water, steeped in just-boiled water for 10 minutes, then strained. It is traditionally taken 1 cup, 2 or 3 times a day, before or with meals.
Who is Amargo Powder for?
Adults who want to support healthy digestion and a healthy appetite* with a traditional steeped tea. It is not for use during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or when trying to conceive. If you have a health condition or take medication, talk to your practitioner before use.
Is Amargo Powder quassia bark or quassia wood?
It is the bark of Quassia amara, the plant also called Surinam Quassia, dried and ground with nothing added. The tree's wood has its own use as a natural bitter, but our bag holds only the bark. It is not Jamaica Quassia (Picrasma excelsa), a different tree with the same common name.
What does Amargo tea taste like?
It tastes very bitter. The bitterness comes from naturally occurring quassinoids, chiefly quassin and neoquassin, and it is why the plant is called Amargo, the Spanish word for "bitter".
Which Raintree products also contain Amargo?
Amargo is one of the herbs in two capsule products, Amazon A-P and Amazon A-V.
Can I buy it in the UK?
Yes. It is sold on our UK store and shipped from the UK. Simply use the store switcher on our site.
