Tabaco Arapiraca
Arapiraca Tabaco is made from rope Tabaco, which is a Nicotiana rustic strain. This is about 20 times stronger than our traditional Tabaco, Nicotiana tabacum. This powder is made from fermented rope Tabaco. When the Tabaco is harvested it is first fermented and then turned into ropes and rolled up on rolls. After this process it sits on the rolls to mature. When we prepare the Tabaco for rapé it is dried in the sun, beaten and sieved. You can find this item here.

Tabaco Sabia
Nowadays most Tabaco varieties used in Rapé production are not native to the state of Acre. Acre is the state where the biggest part of indigenous Rapé by far is made. The only regional type is the milder Moy Tabaco. Some of the main Tabaco producing regions in Brazil are the North Eastern town Arapiraca in the state of Alagoas and Minas Gerais in the centre of the country. The most sought-after variety of late is known as Sabiá Tabaco, which is a Nicotiana rustica variety. It is one of the stronger Tabaco types around and it has a pleasant natural flavour. Many Tabaco varieties are sauced and that interferes with the flavoor of the Rapé. This one is natural although it has a potent Tabaco flavour. It is used in Rapé varieties like the Yawanawa Daime, the Kuntanawa Alfavaca da Mata, some of the Nukini and other all-time favourites. You can find this item here.

Our Cacao (or as in Brazil, Cacau) ashes are burned from the native Cacao tree of the region, the original wild Cacao. The Huni Kuin or Kaxinawa have used cacao bark traditionally to burn ashes for Rapé production.

Also, Cacao trees are relatively small in the Amazon, not like for instance a Tsunu or Cumaru tree.
