Ground catuaba bark from Brazil
This pack contains the bark of Trichilia catigua, sold under the trade name catuaba and ground to a fine, cinnamon-brown powder. The supplier, Maya Herbs, gives the plant part as bark, the form as powder and the country as Brazil. Mycotrop stocks it in three sizes, 50 g, 250 g and 1 kg, so the choice comes down to quantity alone.

Botanical identity
Adrien de Jussieu described Trichilia catigua in 1829, in Saint-Hilaire’s Flora Brasiliae Meridionalis. GBIF and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants accept the name and place it in the Meliaceae. The checklist gives a native range covering Bolivia, Paraguay, north-eastern Argentina and five regions of Brazil: North, Northeast, West-Central, Southeast and South. Catuaba is the trade name the supplier uses; both the label and the supplier listing tie this product to Trichilia catigua.
The pouch and the powder
The first photo shows a kraft stand-up pouch with a green Maya Herbs label: Catuaba in large letters, the Latin name, the word Powder and a Made in Brazil seal. On this label the Latin name is printed as “Trichila catigua”, without the second i. In a terracotta bowl beside the pouch lies a heap of fine, light reddish-brown powder; the second photo shows the bowl on its own.
Other catuaba formats
The same species is also available as shredded catuaba bark, with visible fibres, and as a catuaba dry extract in much smaller packs.
Packaging and delivery
Business days are packing days: your catuaba powder goes into neutral outer packaging that does not mention the contents. Where the carrier provides tracking, we email you the link once the parcel has left. See Delivery, tracking and returns for estimated delivery times and for the 14-day right of withdrawal and its exceptions.
