How do I prepare the Para Bita Mix?

You can store the dried herbal blend in the provided pouch in a cool, dark place (such as a cupboard). When kept well sealed, the herbal mix can last more than a year.

What is the difference between Para Bita and Para Bita Mix?

The difference lies in the composition.

The Para Bita Mix contains an additional ingredient: Luangu Teetei.
Luangu Teetei consists of stems that can be steeped separately in hot water to make tea. In some traditions these stems may also be prepared in other ways, but for this tea mix only the infusion method is used.

Important to know: Para Bita naturally has a strong aroma and a very bitter taste.
For people who are not familiar with it, this may take some getting used to. The Para Bita Mix is intended for those who consciously want to experience this bitterness.

If Para Bita or the Para Bita Mix is new to you, it can be seen as a first introduction. For those who seek a stronger experience, the full Para Bita Mix may be an option.

How do I prepare the Para Bita Mix?

Bring water to a boil.

Use 2 tablespoons of chopped leaves per 250 ml of hot water.

Add 3 stems of Luangu Teetei.

Let the mixture steep for 7–10 minutes.

Strain the herbs and pour the tea into a cup.

Drink the tea as warm as desired.

For additional guidance, see the shop section for a step-by-step preparation guide.

How should I use the Para Bita Mix?

Maximum 1 cup per day

Do not use continuously for long periods

Always alternate with rest days

Use in moderation and listen to your body.

Can I create my own Para Bita Mix?

Yes. Within Surinamese herbal traditions it is common to purchase herbs separately and combine them according to personal preference.

By buying the individual herbs, you can create your own herbal combinations.
