Welcome to The Mimosa Company FAQ section. With over 6 years of hands-on experience in sourcing, quality testing, and global distribution, we are proud to provide answers backed by real expertise and customer-first service.
What is Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark?
Mimosa Hostilis (also known as Jurema Preta) is a tree native to Brazil and Mexico, highly valued for its rich tannins, vibrant natural dyeing properties, and traditional uses in various cultural practices. We sell only the highest-grade root bark, carefully harvested and sustainably sourced from trusted partners.
Where do you source your MHRB from?
All of our Mimosa Hostilis root bark is wild-harvested from Brazil and Mexico, in collaboration with small, sustainable harvesting cooperatives. We never work with mass producers or over-harvested farms. Each batch is ethically collected to protect both the ecosystem and the integrity of the bark.
How do you ensure the quality of your Mimosa Root Bark?
Our MHRB goes through a two-stage quality check:
- At the source, tested for natural color, moisture level, and tannin retention.
- At our U.S. facility, we verify freshness, potency, and cleanliness before final packaging.
This process ensures you receive 100% natural, high-quality bark — whether in powdered, shredded, or whole form.
How long has The Mimosa Company been in business?
We’ve been in operation for over 6 years, working directly with artisans, researchers, and botanical experts. Thousands of satisfied customers across the globe trust The Mimosa Company for their Mimosa Hostilis root bark needs.
Is your Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark safe and legal to purchase?
Yes. We only sell MHRB for botanical research, dyeing, incense, and educational purposes. It is your responsibility to know the legal status of this product in your country or state. We do not ship to regions where this product is restricted.
Can I request a certificate of analysis (COA) or origin?
Absolutely. As part of our commitment to transparency and trust, we provide a COA and sourcing verification upon request. This document proves the origin and natural composition of the bark.
Why does your MHRB have a distinct smell and vibrant color?
The deep purple-red hue and earthy aroma of our MHRB are signs of authenticity and freshness. Our bark is never chemically treated or exposed to high-heat processing. We preserve its natural dyeing and botanical properties from harvest to delivery.
How is my order packaged?
We use discreet, moisture-proof packaging to maintain freshness and protect your privacy. Bulk orders (1kg and above) are vacuum-sealed and double-wrapped for extra protection during transit.
How long does shipping take?
- U.S. orders: Typically 3–7 business days.
- International orders: 7–15 business days, depending on customs.
We also offer discreet and trackable shipping. Our 2024 shipping success rate was 95%, and we’ve maintained a 100% delivery success rate so far in 2025.
Will the bark I receive look exactly like the product photos?
Yes, what you see is what you get. We take actual product photos of our shredded, powdered, and whole root bark to give you an accurate representation. No stock images or generic mockups.
What makes your MHRB better than others?
We don’t just sell root bark, we’ve built a community based on trust, quality, and sustainability. Our founder spent years in South America building relationships with indigenous cooperatives and learning proper harvesting methods. That expertise is reflected in every package we ship.
What’s something most people don’t know about Mimosa Hostilis?
Most customers don’t realize that MHRB harvested at different altitudes contains slightly different tannin profiles, which can affect its dyeing strength. We blend root bark from varied altitudes for enhanced richness and color depth, a unique practice that sets us apart.
Do you use pesticides or additives?
Never. Our Mimosa root bark is 100% organic, non-GMO, and free of additives or synthetic treatments. It is wild-harvested, sun-dried, and tested for contaminants.
Can I talk to a real person if I have more questions?
Yes! Our customer service team is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable about all things MHRB. Reach out anytime via support@themimosacompany.com.
Do you allow misuse of this product?
Absolutely not. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone attempting to purchase for illegal use. Our products are for botanical and educational use only.
