What Is Chaparro Amargo?

Scientifically known as Castela tortuosa, Chaparro Amargo is a thorny shrub native to Mexico and parts of Centre America. Common names include crucifixion thorn, crown-of-thorns, goat bush, or bitter bark. The name translates to 'bitter shrub', reflecting its naturally bitter taste. Traditionally, the leaves and bark are harvested and dried to create a potent herbal tea. Evergreen Herbs offers this traditional remedy in a convenient, resealable stand-up pouch that locks in freshness and flavour.

How to Prepare Chaparro Amargo Tea

Making Chaparro Amargo tea is straightforward. Uses roughly one teaspoon of the dried herb per cup of boiling water. Steep for 5–10 minutes, adjusting to your preferred strength. Because of its intense bitterness, many people add a drizzle of honey or a squeeze of lemon. Alternatively, you can prepare a cold infusion by steeping the herb in cold water overnight. The versatility allows you to tailor it to your taste. Whether served hot or iced, Chaparro Amargo offers a unique, earthy flavour profile.
