Quassia Chips Powder

Botanical Name: Quassia amara
Origin: Mexico

Quassia Chips are prepared from the wood of the Quassia amara tree, a species long recognised for its intensely bitter character. Traditionally valued within herbal systems, Quassia has been used for generations in practices that emphasise the role of bitterness in traditional preparations.

Offered in chipped form, Quassia is well suited for the preparation of herbal bitters, infusions, and tinctures. Beyond internal herbal traditions, it has also been historically utilised in non-culinary applications, particularly in natural gardening and plant care practices, where its bitter compounds are appreciated for their deterrent qualities.

Quassia Chips continue to be explored today by those interested in traditional bitter herbs and their diverse historical applications.
