The bark is collected from high altitudes of 7000 feet with environmental awareness to preserve involves cooking the bark twice, consecutive washings, chopping and beating with wooden mallets. The soft pulp is poured over a wooden-frame and spread evenly by gently shaking the floating frame in a water tank and then sun dried.
