The Mulateiro tree (Calycophyllum spruceanum) is native to the Amazon rainforest and is admired for its smooth bark, which naturally peels away as the tree grows. This remarkable characteristic has made it one of the Amazon's most recognizable trees and inspired its traditional nickname, Tree of Youth.

This blend honors that botanical heritage while celebrating the artisan craftsmanship and traditional preparation methods preserved by the Yawanawá people.
