English Name: Cha De Bugre Leaves
Also Known As: Cha De Bugre Leaf Cut & Sifted, Cordia salicifolia Leaves C/S, Dried Cha De Bugre Leaves, Cha De Bugre Herb C/S, Bugre Leaves, Cordia Leaf C/S
Part Used: Dried leaves of Cordia salicifolia, cut and sifted
Description: Cha De Bugre Leaves C/S is produced from the dried leaves of Cordia salicifolia, a small tree native to tropical regions of Brazil. The tree typically grows 5–10 meters tall and develops slender branches with broad, glossy green leaves. The harvested leaves display natural green to olive-green tones and retain a slightly fibrous texture after drying.
The leaves are carefully cut and sifted into uniform pieces that preserve their structural integrity and visual characteristics. The cut and sifted form makes them easy to handle, blend, and incorporate into botanical mixtures and creative projects where recognizable leaf fragments are preferred.
Leaves are harvested during the active growth period, thoroughly cleaned to remove natural field residue, and dried using controlled air drying or warm air methods to reduce moisture while preserving colour and texture. Once dried, the leaves are mechanically cut into uniform fragments and sifted to ensure consistency in size and appearance.
Uses: Cha De Bugre Leaves C/S is used in botanical craft projects, decorative jar arrangements, resin art, potpourri-style blends, and educational herb kits. Its broad leaf fragments and natural green tones make it suitable for visual displays, layered botanical compositions, and creative applications that require intact plant material with a natural, leafy appearance.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
