What the Teas section lists

Teas is the name of this section of the Mycotrop Smartshop. It brings together thirteen dried botanicals: leaves, flowers, bark, a vine and two herbs, each in a stated cut. The supplier files seven of them in its own teas range, which is where the name comes from. Each product page gives the common name, the Latin name, the plant part, the cut and the origin. Like everything at Mycotrop, these products are sold strictly as collectible or souvenir items: the pages describe the material, not a preparation. Do not consume.

Guayusa leaves from Ecuador and Peru

Five of the thirteen products are guayusa, Ilex guayusa, a species of the holly family (Aquifoliaceae). The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) records it as native to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Ecuador and Peru each supply whole leaves and finely cut leaves, so you can compare the same cut from two origins. The fifth product is a finely cut leaf blend from Ecuador that pairs guayusa with cedrón, the lemon verbena Aloysia citrodora; the supplier packs it in 75 g.

Barks, a vine and two herbs

Three products are bark from Brazil, each in a different form: emburana (Amburana cearensis, legume family) in whole pieces, mulungu (Erythrina mulungu, also a legume) shredded, and pau d’arco (Handroanthus impetiginosus, bignonia family) as a powder. Clavo huasca is a shredded vine from Peru, Tynanthus panurensis, another member of the bignonia family; WCVP lists it as native to Bolivia, northern Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

The two herbs also come from Peru: muña (Minthostachys setosa, mint family) and chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri, Phyllanthaceae), both shredded. Ishpingo is sold as whole leaves from Peru under the name Ocotea quixos, which WCVP now lists as a synonym of Mespilodaphne quixos (laurel family). The blue pea flowers are Clitoria ternatea, a legume that WCVP records as introduced in Thailand.

Twelve of the thirteen products also appear in Smart Seeds & Herbs, the largest plant section of the shop, with more than 160 dried plants, resins, tinctures and capsules. Both sections belong to the Smartshop.

Preparing and enjoying

Ceremonial cacao is pure cacao paste: grate or chop it, then melt it in hot water or milk without letting it boil. Teas and leaves are infused as directed on the label.

Precautions

Cacao contains theobromine and a little caffeine; guayusa, mate and guarana contain caffeine: keep to moderate amounts if you are pregnant, sensitive to caffeine or have a heart condition.
Theobromine is toxic to dogs and cats: keep cacao out of their reach.
If a blend contains other plants, read their product pages before use.

Storage

Keep cacao and teas dry, in a closed container, away from light, heat and strong odours.

Discreet delivery

Orders are packed on working days and leave in plain outer packaging that does not describe the contents. Once your order has shipped, we email you the tracking link when one is available. Estimated delivery times, right of withdrawal and exceptions: Delivery, tracking and returns.
