Tara Pod Tannin Powder

Dried ground Tara pods that are wild harvested in Peru from native Caesalpinia Spinosa bushes that grow in the Andes on dry, poor soils are the cheapest source of ‘clear’ tannins to make white leathers, or to tan fish and other skins without adding any tannin color. Tara tannins have a very light natural color and they are used to obtain very clear leathers with good light and heat fastness. Light fastness means that it won’t darken with age, so the clear tannin color stays clear, and natural dyes stay true. Tara gives fullness and softness to leathers with a smooth and firm grain. Tara tannins also confer to leathers a grain cracking resistance that is higher than any other vegetable tanning agent. We get this Tara directly from Peru allowing us to offer it at a great price. Compare to Dye houses that sell it for $30 a pound or more. Tara is a gallo-tannin, most typically used in softer leathers. For deer, goat or sheep hides you need 2-4 lbs. per hide depending on the size and thickness of the hide. Guaranteed to be at least 52% tannin. Basic instructions on its use are included.

Verified Review 5/5 Exactly what was needed to help me tan my bison hide. 18 hours ago Anonymous Verified Review 5/5 Worked great for yielding a pale, nearly white veg-tan for following with bright colors 3 days ago Camille Reviewer 5/5 The mimosa bark extract shipped quickly and did a great job tanning a sheepskin. 4 days ago Camille Reviewer 5/5 The mimosa works great! Tanned a full sheepskin with 5lbs of the extract. 4 days ago Camille Reviewer 5/5 The wetscraper arrived promptly and feels really sturdy. I bought it for cleaning up a full sheepskin someone gave me, but the skin was actually so clean already that I haven’t put the scraper to use yet. It will come in handy with the next skin, probably! 4 days ago Anne F.
