The founder


The founder of Tzumi Muraya EIRL is originally Dutch and has been living periods in local communities of the Peruvian Amazon. Since 2003 he has been dedicating himself with great compassion to the traditional uses of medicinal plants and trees from the Amazon rainforest.

As he discovered the potencies of widely used medicinal plants and -trees in the Amazon basin, he successfully started to introduce and promote these in the Western World, which resulted in his own exportation business.

Through his gained experience and important contacts that he made during the years, Tzumi Muraya EIRL is now able to give answer to a growing demand of the high quality natural products that are offered through this website.
