Rapé Ayo

This Rapé Ayo is my own creation. I have worked with rapé for about 18 years now. The next step of making my own rapé feels very natural to me. In the development and completion of this snuff I did not hold back. Besides Sabiá Mapacho and Parika ash, this snuff also contains Aya in 2 forms and also Yopo, hence the name Ayo.
It is infused with very old and wise aya. As an extra addition, it also has dried and pulverized aya residue in it.

For people who like to go deeper, I made a different and stronger version of this type of rapé. The aya força I made and which can be found here is the fundament of rapé Ayo double. This snuff is not for everybody. If you are oversensitive to yopo it can block your nose for several hours.

Pure Yopo can be a strong entheogenic snuff if you can get potent seeds and correctly prepare them. The Yopo I am using is fully active and quite potent. The added amount of Yopo’s function is to deepen and broaden your experience.
With a relatively low percentage of Yopo it brings just enough power to stay in balance with the other forces at work. This is a very potent Rapé that might not be for everybody. It also might sting/burn your nose more than you are used to.

About Banisteriopsis Caapi/ Aya

This tropical vine can grow up to 30 meters in length, twining on other plants for support. Caapi vine can become old of age and up to 100 years and older. Banisteriopsis caapi, a vine, is the primary ingredient of Aya, a traditional medicinal tea from the Amazon region. A tea with just the caapi vine is called Aya.
Some indigenous people distinguish more than 40 species of Caapi vine. Indigenous shamans and others say that they can enter a different state of mind with an infusion of only the B. Caapi. This vine is seen by most of the 72 tribes as the “master plant” that provides concrete information about other plants. They claim that the vine is responsible for their excellent botanical knowledge.

Climate and Rapé Quality

Proper storage is crucial to maintaining the quality of rapé. Humidity, temperature, and air exposure fluctuations will affect the product over time. For instance, in colder or drier regions, rapé can lose its natural moisture, becoming brittle and harsh to use. On the other hand, in areas with seasonal humidity or inconsistent storage conditions, it can still clump or develop mold if precautions aren’t taken. Regardless of where you live, investing in airtight containers, storing rapé in a cool and dark place, and monitoring humidity levels will ensure that its aroma, potency, and texture are preserved. Proper storage shows respect for the sacred nature of rapé and ensures that you’re receiving its full benefits every time you use it.

Tips to Preserve Snuff Quality

To ensure your Rapé Ayo stays fresh and potent for as long as possible, especially in humid climates:

  1. Airtight Containers: Use containers with tight seals, such as screw-cap tins or vacuum-sealed jars, to minimize air exposure.
  2. Cool, Dark Storage: Store rapé in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. In tropical environments, consider using a climate-controlled storage space.
  3. Avoid Frequent Opening: Minimize the time the container is open to prevent exposure to fluctuating humidity and air.

Handling & Preparation of Rapé Ayo

I sieve Rapé Ayo and all other snuff in my shop using a 120-micron, high-grade stainless steel mesh. This meticulous process ensures:

  • An exceptionally fine powder.
  • Consistent fineness in every batch.
  • Removal of unwanted particles.
  • Optimal absorption and effectiveness.

To preserve quality, I store all rapé in dry, vacuum-sealed containers. These careful steps ensure every product meets the highest standards of freshness and effectiveness.

Maintaining Freshness and Potency

  • The stockroom is always kept:
    • Cool and dark to preserve the blend’s freshness and potency.
    • Free from excessive moisture and humidity, which can quickly ruin rapé.
  • I take extra precautions to:
    • Protect rapé from heat, light, and air exposure.
    • Keep everything organized for easy access and quality control.

Labeling Process

  • I handle the labeling myself to avoid:
    • Mislabeled products.
    • Misplaced batches.

When someone orders rapé, they can trust they’re receiving exactly what they asked for. While I strive for perfection, I occasionally make small mistakes, but these are rare and will be corrected.

Handling New Stock

When new shipments arrive, I carefully transfer the rapé into proper containers. This minimizes unnecessary exposure to air or light. I also:

  • Rotate stock regularly to ensure older batches are used first.
  • Store rapé in vacuum-sealed containers to maintain its freshness and quality.

Respecting the Product

Handling rapé is not complicated, but it requires attention to detail. For me, it’s about respecting the product and ensuring it reaches customers in the best possible condition.
