It grows deep in the rainforests of Argentina and Paraguay. The Incas have used the extract from its bark as a tasty drink for hundreds of years. The natives revere the "tree of life" for its medicinal properties. There are very many health properties attributed to this bark. The red infusion is obtained by removing part of the outer bark, harvesting the second layer and grinding it.
