Botanical Name: Cinchona officinalis
Country of Origin: Ecuador
English Name: Cinchona Bark Powder
Also Known As: Ground Cinchona Bark, Cinchona officinalis Bark Powder, Dried Cinchona Bark Powder, Cinchona Bark Ground
Part Used: Ground bark of Cinchona officinalis
Description: Cinchona Bark Powder is produced from the dried bark of Cinchona officinalis, an evergreen tree native to the Andean regions of South America and cultivated in select tropical areas. The tree develops a straight trunk with layered bark that is harvested at maturity to ensure consistent thickness and quality. After harvesting, the bark is cleaned to remove surface debris and prepared for drying and milling.
The cleaned bark is dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving its natural colour, fibrous structure, and integrity. Once fully dried, the bark is finely ground into a uniform powder. This milling process produces a consistent texture while maintaining the botanical characteristics of the original bark material.
The finished powder ranges from light brown to reddish-brown in colour and has a fine, free-flowing consistency. The powdered form allows for precise measuring, uniform blending, and easy incorporation into formulations requiring finely milled bark material. The product is stable, clean, and suitable for storage and handling in a variety of applications.
Uses: Cinchona Bark Powder is used as a flavouring component in culinary and beverage formulations where finely ground bitter bark material is required. It is also suitable for use in botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, decorative displays, and other applications that require powdered plant material for texture, blending, or visual interest.
Storage: Keep them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture
