Bitter Kola, also known as Garcinia kola, is a plant found in Central and Western Africa. Bitter kola reddish yellow seeds have a sharp, bitter, astringent, aromatic flavor; somewhat resembling that of a raw coffee bean that eases into a slight sweetness with a lingering pepperiness as you chew. Virtually every part of the bitter kola tree has been known for its medicinal value.

Nigeria is a principal producer of bitter kola with about 150,000 metric ton annually. Cameroon, Benin, Gabon and Sierra Leone are also known for their large production.

In Nigeria, bitter kola fruits is available for harvest from March to November. However, at Acme Global Merchants Ltd, our export delivery is throughout the year.
