  1. Irie,

    Great responses from all!!!

    It certainly has a long interestingly controversial history...

    The plantation owner described having the drying barn stacked high of sacks of beans!!!

    I know the large orchard of them was cut down about 15yrs ago.....

    Anyone know if they grow from cuttings???

    My camera busted, again, atm, but I'll see what snapshots I can get??

    Respect,

  2. Irie,

    As FancyPants said....Caapi leaves.

    I find they potent a brew & enhances the other ingredients.

    But I use so many different herbs in my teas it would be hard to list....

    I mostly just wander around the garden & feel what is right for the tea, that is needed for the time..

    Recently been using sida cordifolia & P.alba flowers as a tea for coughs....

    The kids seem to enjoy it but they're bouncing off the walls!!!

    Respect,

  3. Irie,

    As far as I'm aware Cascabel (Peruvian name) & Caupuri (Brazilian name) are synonymous.

    I have several vine from seeds of cascabel, from a brazilian source....

    Quite distinctive due to the round enlarged nodes...

    Not had a chance to compare strength.

    Respect,
