Organic White Willow Bark

Organic White Willow Bark from Albania

Organic white willow bark is carefully sourced from Albania and prepared in convenient tea-cut pieces for brewing and blending. Harvested from *Salix alba*, this naturally caffeine-free botanical has a mild, slightly bitter flavour with earthy, woody notes that create a distinctive herbal infusion.

White willow (*Salix alba*) has a long history of use in traditional European herbalism dating back centuries. The bark naturally contains plant compounds including salicin, as well as polyphenols and flavonoids, and has traditionally been prepared as an herbal infusion or decoction.

Traditionally, white willow bark has been used in herbal medicine for the relief of occasional pain, including headaches and minor aches and pains, and to help relieve fever associated with the common cold. Its naturally bitter character and long history of traditional use have made willow bark a familiar botanical in Western herbal practice.

White willow bark produces an earthy, woody infusion with mild tannins and a pleasantly bitter finish. Enjoy it on its own or blend with complementary herbs, roots, and spices. Licorice root, lemon, or a touch of honey can help soften its naturally bitter character.
