Quassia Bark Chips: A Traditional Bitterwood Botanical

Quassia bark chips come from the Quassia amara tree. This tree grows in warm tropical regions. It is famous for its strong bitter taste. In fact, it is one of the most bitter plants in the world.

Because of this, people often call it Bitterwood or Amargo. Over time, many cultures recorded this plant in old botanical texts. Today, quassia bark chips remain popular for traditional and educational use.

Where Quassia Bark Comes From

Quassia amara bark grows in hot, humid areas. It thrives in South America, especially in the Amazon region. Harvesters collect the bark by hand. Then, they dry it slowly.

As a result, the bark keeps its natural color and texture. Because of careful handling, the plant stays close to its original form.

Botanical Features

Quassia bark has a pale color. It also has a very bitter taste. Because of this, it stands out among classic bitter plants.

We sell the bark as chips to keep it fresh. However, some people prefer to grind it into quassia bark powder for traditional projects. In addition, others use quassia bark powder for educational or specialty purposes.
