An ideal herbal tea for seasonal changes
Lapacho sapwood is central to the pharmacopoeia of the Kallawayas, the famous Amerindian people of itinerant healers who discovered this "divine bark". Its decoction, with its pleasant vanilla and lightly woody flavours, is ideal for consumption at the change of season. It is recognized for strengthening the immune system, improving blood circulation and for its draining and antioxidant effects.
To reap the benefits of lapacho, prepare it as a decoction in simmering water at 95°C for 5 min and leave to infuse for 10 to 15 min. To enjoy the infusion, 5 to 10 min is all you need.

Source of ingredients
Sateré Mawé Producers' Consortium (CPSM)
Terroir
In the heart of the Andira-Marau territory in the Brazilian Amazon, the Consortium des Producteurs Sateré Mawé (CPSM), a community of 16,000 Indians, practice the wild harvesting of Lapacho. The Sateré Mawé estate lies at the convergence of the Marau rivers, in the Andira basin. The climate is equatorial, with a rainy season from December to May. The soils are alluvial and lateritic. The region benefits from an abundance of freshwater resources, thanks to the many springs that flow through it. In addition, humidity is high, creating a very humid environment conducive to lush vegetation. The Amazon is one of the richest ecosystems in terms of biodiversity, home to tropical forests that are inhabited by thousands of species of plants and mammals, including the jaguar, capybara, howler monkey and marmoset.
Background and challenges
Created in 1987 by the Sateré Mawé Indians, the initiative to develop and preserve the territory has led to trade with France. The Warana project took shape and enabled the export of warana and Lapacho to the European market.
Lapacho is harvested under often arduous conditions, due to the difficult access to picking areas in the middle of the Amazon. In addition, global warming is affecting biodiversity, making harvesting less predictable and sometimes less abundant.
Community projects
The Warana project enables us to enhance the value of a native product, and improve access to culture, health and education. Through the creation of the University of Wara, the Sateré Mawé Indians are reclaiming their culture while gaining access to higher education. In addition, local populations are being educated and trained to respect biodiversity on a daily basis, in partnership with international forestry networks. Finally, the Sateré Mawé Indigenous Women's Association is developing economic opportunities through traditional handicrafts, in order to grant greater financial autonomy to the women of the community while promoting local culture.
