Wild Cherry Bark tea has been used by Native Americans as well as ancient Chinese herbalists for many centuries and is still enjoyed today in various parts of the world.
The wild cherry tree covers the eastern half of North America, dotting the landscape with its shady branches full of flowers and juicy, tempting fruit. The wild cherry tree is a favorite for landscaping because of its beauty, especially in the spring, when its branches are covered in fragrant white cherry blossoms. The fruit it produces is popular in a variety of recipes, including jam, ice cream, pastries and especially dark chocolate treats. However, it is not its leaves, flowers or fruit, but the bark of the tree that is used to produce this herbal tea. Wild cherry bark tea is made from the powdered bark, and produces a cherry-like scent, nicely complementing the pleasant, earthy taste it offers.
Along with making a smooth, enjoyable bark tea, wild cherry bark has many good things to offers. Like most bark teas, wild cherry bark can supply you with essential micronutrients. Wild cherry bark is a natural source of calcium, iron and potassium. It also contains a number of active constituents, including flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol, coumarins, gallic acid, and acetylcholine. Many of these constituents offer antioxidant properties, making wild cherry bark tea a fine addition to any herbal tea collection.
