OAK BARK 50G - FARM GROUP (Kora duba)(кора дуба)

What it is

Farm Group FARMGRUPP Oak Bark 50 g is a loose herbal tea material made from dried, crushed oak bark. People usually choose oak bark when they want a traditional, tannin‑rich plant infusion with a distinctly dry, astringent taste. In European herbal practice, oak bark has long been valued not for aroma, but for its high content of plant compounds that give the brew its intense character.

Key components

• Tannins – naturally occurring polyphenols that create the characteristic puckering sensation in the mouth.
• Gallotannins and catechin‑type tannins – abundant in oak bark; they bind to proteins on the mucous membranes and form a light protective layer, giving the infusion its “tightening” effect.
• Flavonoids, phlobaphenes and a small amount of essential oil – add to the plant’s traditional profile, though tannins remain the central feature.

Why people choose it

The raw material itself is interesting: oak bark is one of the most tannin‑dense herbs used in classic European phytotherapy, containing around 10–20 % tannins in the dry bark. This is why the infusion brews dark, tastes firm and slightly bitter, and is usually taken in small amounts rather than like a mild herbal tea. This format may suit people who appreciate simple single‑herb preparations and want to include a traditional botanical ingredient in their daily regimen in a measured way.

Who may prefer it

Farm Group oak bark may appeal to adults who prefer loose herbs over capsules, for example those who enjoy preparing an infusion at home and value more traditional plant forms. Because the taste is strong and astringent, it is often better suited to people who are already familiar with herbal teas and do not expect a soft or aromatic drink.

Precautions

As with many tannin‑rich herbs, moderation matters. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, giving herbs to a child, or using medicines regularly, it is sensible to check with a healthcare professional first. If the infusion feels too harsh for you or does not fit your digestion, reduce use or choose a milder herbal option.
