Natural Wild Cordyceps Sinensis of Bhutan In Bhutan, Cordyceps sinensis thrives at altitudes between 4000 to 5000 meters above sea level, in the cold, grassy, alpine pastures of Bumthang Paro, Thimphu, Wangduephodrang, Gasa, Lhuntse, Trashigang, Trashiyangtse and Haa. Every year collectors spend four weeks in May/June collecting Cordyceps under the harsh conditions of the high altitudes. In 2002 the harvesting of the cordyceps was legal only in Lunana geog under Gasa dzongkhag where the living condition of about 158 households has reportedly improved.People in the higher regions of Paro, Thimphu, Wangduephodrang, Gasa, Lhuntse, Trashigang, Trashiyangtse, Haa, and Bumthangcan now harvest the Yartsa Goenbub (Cordyceps sinensis) legally, following a royal command issued by His Majesty the King on June 17, 2004. Until  2002, the forest and nature conservation act prohibited farmers from harvesting and selling the cordyceps. But some farmers in the cordyceps growing areas were known to have been harvesting the plant illegally and selling it across the northern border to Tibet and China. Only experienced collectors manage to find 10 to 50 pieces of grade ‘A’ quality a day. For its high value, Cordyceps is considered the Gold of the Himalayas. Today, apart from few live caterpillars collected from Lingzhi taken to UK and at the research center in Yusipang, there is no adulteration and artificial cordyceps business in Bhutan. Moreover, the Royal Government of Bhutan with its development philosophy of Gross National Happiness has always been cautious in terms of forest based natural product extraction. Cordyceps sinensis being one of the valuable natural products, the Royal Government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests protects its habitat, regulates collection and coordinates the auction of cordyceps. Further, in order to promote sustainable management, check illegal trade and duplication, only the villagers from cordyceps growing areas are allowed to collect at a particular time in season monitored by the local leaders and forestry officials. The transaction process also ensure check and balance where buyers will have to fill up how many kilogram’s of cordyceps they buy from the farmers and for how much. The transaction between the buyers and the sellers should take place in presence of the sales committee comprising the local leader and a forestry official who will be the witness.Buyers can go to any cordyceps growing places and buy the plant and after having bought the plant from the farmers, they will have to get a clearance from the Bhutan Agriculture Food Regulatory Authority which will issue a certificate to the buyers wanting to export it to other countries.  The certificate will maintain that the package contains cordyceps to avoid buyers getting into problems with the forestry and customs personnel when they export it to other countries. Recently, a team of experts from the Ministry of agriculture and Forests observed that the density of the cordyceps growth were about 5 per square meter which was more compared to other neighbouring countries of similar altitude having one cordyceps per square meter.

Product Description The fruits of a prickly ash tree, traditionally used in Oriental Cooking.   Other Common Names: Chinese Pepper, Fagara, Sichuan Pepper, Szechwan Pepper, Anise Pepper, Thingy (Bhutan), Timur, Timut (Nepal). Botanical Name: (Zanthoxylum piperitum)   Description & Use: Not a true pepper but the dried, burst seed pods of a prickly ash tree. The taste is hot like pepper, lingering and somewhat ‘fizzy’ on the tongue. It is used in many Asian recipes, especially stocks for making roast duck and pork. The black seeds within the seed pods are tasteless and gritty when ground. At Herbie’s Spices we select the very highest quality that has been graded and cleaned. Warning; some prickly ash thorns may remain after cleaning, so we suggest you look for thorns and remove them if you are using Szechuan Pepper in its whole form.
