Fine Grind vs. Coarse Cut: How to Choose

Both of our Taheebo Wellness Teas come from the same tree bark: the inner bark of Tabebuia impetiginosa/avellanedae, sourced from Brazil, traditionally used to support the immune system, gut health, and overall wellness. The only difference between the two is how finely that bark is cut, and that's what sets the strength of your cup.

Fine Grind brews the stronger, more concentrated cup. Coarse Cut brews a lighter one. Same bark, same price, same 100 cups per pouch. The choice comes down to how strong you like your tea.

Fine Grind

Close-up of Fine Grind Taheebo bark

Our original grind: finely ground bark that's not commonly sold this way elsewhere. Because more surface area of the bark is exposed to the water, it brews the stronger, more concentrated cup of the two, using the same amount of bark per batch as Coarse Cut.

To brew: 1 quart + ½ cup water, 3 tbsp Fine Grind tea. Bring to a boil, then a gentle rolling boil for 25 minutes. It needs a fine mesh filter to strain out the small particles.

Choose Fine Grind if:

  • You want the strongest, most concentrated cup
  • You don't mind adding a fine mesh filter to your setup

Coarse Cut

The same bark, cut into small shreds and sticks instead of ground fine, for a lighter cup. This is the more common cut-and-sift style you'll find from most Taheebo sellers online.

To brew: 1 quart + 1 cup water, 3 tbsp Coarse Cut tea. Bring to a boil, then a gentle rolling boil for 30 minutes. Works with any strainer you already have. Currently a limited batch.

Choose Coarse Cut if:

  • You prefer a lighter cup
  • You're still figuring out how strong you like your Taheebo
  • You'd rather not buy a separate filter

What's exactly the same either way

  • Price and yield: both are $39/lb pouch, about $0.39/cup with free shipping on 2+ pouches, or $0.44/cup with shipping on a single pouch. One pouch makes 100 cups either way.
  • Caffeine-free, sugar-free, vegan.
  • Same bark amount per batch (3 tbsp). Fine Grind uses the same amount of bark as Coarse Cut; the finer cut is what makes the cup stronger.
  • Both are prepared as a decoction, gently simmered rather than steeped. After brewing, cool, cap, and refrigerate; best enjoyed within 8 days. Full method on our Brewing Instructions page.

Not sure which strength you'll prefer? Try Coarse Cut first, then move to Fine Grind's stronger cup on your next order. For more on why people drink Taheebo tea, see Pau d'Arco Tea Benefits: A Complete Guide.

Help with my digestive system

Tahebo tea has been helping me out for several years, my digestive system as of late (last 10 years) have been off, cramping, bloating and just not feeling well. Using Tahebo tea at least 4 to 5 times a day has made a huge difference in my digestive system.

Pleasant Tea

We are using this tea as part of an elimation of yeast and healing leaky gut program. It has a pleasant taste and I like to add ginger to it to enhance the flavor. It reminds me of the flavor of black licorice.

Beverly Hennet
Great taste

This tea didn't taste bad like we expected. The taste is great and it has helped with inflammation in my friend's legs and joints. I have noticed more energy.

Love this tea

I drink a couple of glasses a day. Love the taste. I find it very refreshing. I use the coarse ground. The less processed the better.

Gut health

I started drinking this tea after a friend told me about how much it helped her gut health, knowing I had similar issues. I've been drinking it for about 2 1/2 weeks and I have had a noticeable improvement in my gut health; less bloating, gas and anxiety.. I am so thankful for this tea!

Gotta Love My Taheebo

I make a large container of Taheebo Tea and store it in the fridge. It is my go to ICED TEA beverage. It’s clean, it’s healthy, and it’s great for detoxing and other benefits. I even put some protein powder in it and mix it with Ceylon Cinnamon for extra anti-inflammatory power! Cheers to all you Taheebo Tea drinkers!!

Energy.

I have been using the product for less than 1 month. I have new found energy and I have been able to sleep at night. I think the Tea coupled with my lifestyle of proper eating and exercise is a winning combination.

Thank you.

I really like your fine ground Taheebo tea. I will be ordering exclusively in the future.

Third order

I believe I notice differences in healthy body functions since starting to use Taheebo Tea. Less tired and less brain fog. I believe enhanced prostate health too. I continue to brew and consume morning and night. Recent blood tests were good too, an improvement, Taheebo Tea use is a major diet change since both blood panels.

Enjoying my Tea

I have been struggling with perimenopause symptoms, joint inflammation, and sinus issues. After making some diet changes, I also added Taheebo tea in hopes of relieving some of these symptoms and boosting my immune system. I am drinking 1 to 2 cups per day and am happy to say that my health has improved. I will be buying more Taheebo fine grind tea. I am so happy to learn more about natural ways of healing and strengthening my body. Thank you!
