Bush for clearing, grounding, and everyday herbal tradition Carrion Crow tea is a traditional herbal infusion found in parts of the Caribbean, where it is commonly prepared from plants in the Stachytarpheta genus (often referred to as porterweed or verbena species, depending on the region). Across different islands and households, it has been used as a simple bush tea—prepared at home, shared within families, and passed down through everyday practice rather than formal instruction. “Brew it and let it settle.” Like many traditional herbs, Carrion Crow is naturally rich in plant compounds such as flavonoids and iridoids, which are commonly found in the Verbenaceae family. These compounds have been studied in various plants within this group for their antioxidant activity, though research specific to traditional preparations is still limited.
