Amazon cinnamon leaf (Ishpingo)
Amazon cinnamon is an evergreen tree whose leaves and fruits taste like cinnamon. Used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, the cinnamon leaf was first discovered by Spanish explorers in 1542. However, it could never be used commercially due to a lack of drying and transportation facilities.
By purchasing Ishpingo you support biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest and prevent deforestation and monocultures.
Effect of Ishpingo
The oils in Ishpingo counteract bacteria and fungi and therefore help with stomach, skin and dental problems caused by bacteria or fungi.
Ishpingo has also been shown to have particularly potent and safe antithrombotic activity in the treatment of blood clots in the vessels, thrombosis.
preparation
Ishpingo tea can be brewed with boiling water and should be allowed to steep for at least 5 minutes. If you prefer, you can leave the leaves in the water longer; the tea won't become bitter.
Delicious combinations include hibiscus tea , guayusa , vanilla guayusa tea , our Amazon vanilla powder , and ginger tea . Ishpingo is also suitable for baking and cooking.
