Brazilian Mimosa Hostilis root bark
About our Brazilian Mimosa hostilis inner root bark
The home of our Mimosa hostilis bark is Bahia in the Northeast Region of Brazil, where it is growing in its natural habitat. The region is widely recognized for its history and culture, but also its beautiful natural sights and hot weather. A hot dry winter and a cold rainy summer make a perfect combination for our Mimosas. People in Brazil call it “Jurema” or “Jurema Preta”.
We think you are wondering how the bark is harvested and processed. Answering right away the most frequent question: No, harvesting is not harmful for Mimosa trees and its population. Our suppliers are people of those places. They are very caring, farmers who love and feel nature in every expression. We agreed with them on the purpose of making the world a kinder place.
Our suppliers of Mimosa Root Bark carefully select only the adult trees for harvesting. The knowledge and experience help them to take the exact amount from a tree without harming it, which also influences the quality of the final product.
After the best root bark is picked, it goes drying, of course, the same day. Active ingredients are preserved by processing Mimosa indoors to avoid the devastating effect of the sun’s UV rays as well as extra moisture in a product. Further, already dried Jurema is divided into parts: one goes for processing into powder, the other for shredded finish.
Is it powdered or Shredded? Another frequently asked question we receive is about the difference in purpose, weight, and price between powdered and shredded Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark.
First of all, the form of Mimosa to work with is a personal preference. It is your right to choose, to look, and to try that is why we are offering both.
Our production has a special bark mill, which helps to process mimosa in the best way. The fibbers which are lighter of color are carefully sieved out, as a result, the end product has a darker color, which indicates its purity and highest level of filtration.
