Taheebo Wellness tea about us

Our Story

If you're reading this, you might be where we were in 2018.

Searching for answers. Hoping something might help. We get it.

That October, Julien noticed a small bulge in his abdomen. For six weeks, biopsy results kept coming back inconclusive while the mass tripled in size. When the diagnosis finally arrived, it was advanced testicular cancer. It had spread to his lymph nodes, liver, and lungs.

Our local hospital said his case was too advanced to treat there. He was transferred to USC Norris Cancer Center in Los Angeles. I quit my job to be his full-time caregiver. I remember sitting in that hospital room thinking, "How did we get here?"

We threw everything at it. Conventional treatment. Holistic therapies. Prayer from people we'd never even met. And somewhere in all of that, a friend mentioned Taheebo tea.

So we looked into it. The research on Pau d'Arco looked promising. But finding a source we actually trusted was challenging. Most brands mix inner bark with outer bark without clear sourcing or certifications. We were dealing with cancer, we were not going to grab whatever's cheapest on Amazon.

We asked our contacts in the wellness world, and those who knew about Taheebo recommended just one source, a couple in Canada. They'd been through something similar years earlier and had been supplying pure Taheebo tea to those seeking natural support for almost 15 years.

Julien started drinking their tea daily. Three cups at first, then seven. It became an integral part of his healing regimen.

When that couple retired in 2019, we panicked. Where would we get our tea? Where would anyone? We were still in the thick of Julien's treatments, but we couldn't just let it disappear. So we started this little business ourselves.

Now we source the same IBAMA-certified inner bark from Brazil. Sustainably harvested. Third-party tested. It's what we drink every day.

If you're going through something hard right now, we hope this tea helps you the way it helped us.
