Quassia Products

Quassia

Quassia is the most bitter tasting known plant in the world. This bitterness comes from the phytochemical quassin. When quassin is compared to quinine, another bitter phytochemical, it can be measured as being roughly 50 times more bitter. In small quantities this quality has made Quassia a favourite ingredient in bitters. Quassia is native to the Caribbean and South America and counted as a shrub or small tree. It has beautiful large red blooms and distinctive glossy leaves. Find all our Quassia products below.

After careful harvesting, selection and cleaning the Quassia brak chips used to make this tincture undergo a process of cold percolation in order to extract the active constituents into tincture form. The cold percolation method employs a gradient circulation of the solution which keeps the plant ingredients in perpetual contact with the ethanol. This technique is faster and more efficient than maceration and ensures there is less waste of precious plant materials. This premium quality product is manufactured to GMP standards and Quality Assured by Indigo Herbs. It is 100% pure botanical ingredients, completely free of synthetic ingredients with absolutely nothing added.
