Camucamu Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Camucamu (Myrciaria dubia) is a bushy shrub or small tree of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, native to the flooded riverbanks and oxbow lakes of the Amazon basin in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, where it stands in water for several months of each year. It grows 3 to 5 meters with slender branches, glossy, pointed opposite leaves, and small white, fragrant flowers. The fruit is a round berry 2 to 4 centimeters across, thin-skinned and purplish-red when ripe, with pale, extremely sour pulp around one or two seeds; it is harvested by canoe and ranks among the richest natural sources of vitamin C. We extract the dried fruit.
