Tongkat Ali - organic powder 10:1

Tongkat Ali powder, an iconic root from Southeast Asia

Tongkat Ali is the common name used for a root associated with the botanical traditions of Southeast Asia. Its name is sometimes translated as "Ali's walking stick," and it appears in numerous folk tales from the region. In powder form, it is distinguished by a very strong, earthy, and naturally bitter taste.

This Secrets d’Eden reference is currently titled "Tongkat Ali – organic powder 10:1." The historical record also mentions Eurycoma longifolia, the root of the plant, and a 20:1 ratio. This information is inconsistent. Pending the technical data sheet and the supplier’s certificate of analysis, the only authoritative source is the label of the batch received: it must confirm the exact naming, plant part, ratio, composition, any organic certification, and the recommended serving size.

An intense aromatic profile

Tongkat Ali has a pronounced vegetal bitterness. It is better suited for rich-flavored preparations than for very mild recipes. If your product label allows for use in a beverage, it can be combined with unsweetened cocoa, coffee, chicory, carob, vanilla, or a plant-based drink to round out its aromatic profile.

Its bitterness is a gustatory characteristic, not a reason to increase or decrease the amount used yourself. Strictly follow the consumption instructions on the sachet corresponding to your batch.

Composition and mandatory information to check

• Botanical name: the historical record cites Eurycoma longifolia; to be confirmed on the label.
• Plant part: the historical record cites the root; to be confirmed on the label.
• Ratio: the title shows 10:1 while the old description indicated 20:1; no value should be considered confirmed without supplier documentation.
• Formats: several quantities are available depending on the selected variant.

Before any use, check the packaging for the full list of ingredients, net quantity, recommended daily serving, warnings, allergens, best-before date, batch number, origin, organic status, and any indicated ratio. In the absence of this information, do not determine a dose yourself.

How to incorporate it into a preparation?

Use this product only according to the instructions on your batch's sachet. If the label authorizes use in a drink or recipe, first dilute the indicated serving in a small amount of liquid, then incorporate it into a coffee, plant-based drink, cocoa, or culinary preparation suited to your taste.

Avoid mixing several plant extracts or concentrated powders in the same preparation without having precise product indications. Never exceed the serving size recommended by the marketer.

Cocoa-chicory drink idea

• a hot plant-based drink;
• unsweetened cocoa or soluble chicory;
• vanilla or cinnamon according to your taste;
• the serving of Tongkat Ali strictly indicated on your packaging, if its use in a drink is authorized.

Heat the plant-based drink without boiling it. Dilute the authorized serving in a small amount of liquid, then add the cocoa or chicory. Mix thoroughly and adjust the recipe with vanilla or cinnamon, without increasing the amount of powder.
