Rapé Caneleiro Shanenawa

From: 2,48

After a lot of patience and talking with several friends in Brazil I am now happy to offer this Caneleiro variant from the Shanenewa tribe. I feel blessed to offer this snuff from a very small tribe who makes just a few types of high-quality traditional tribal rapé.

Descripción

Rapé Caneleiro Shanenawa

  • Rapé Caneleiro Shanenawa, a prestigious snuff from the Shanenawa tribe, offers a nice energetic balance. It delivers strong but stable initial effects with pleasant, sweet after-tones and minimal phlegm production.
  • The Shanenawa make only a few types of rapé. The chief has appointed two members of the tribe to continue the tradition of making rapé.
  • The Caneleiro bark (Cenostigma macrophyllum) produces excellent ash. Although it is less common than Tsunu, it delivers great effects. The Indians in Acre treat Caneleiro and Canela de Velho in the same way, as both plants share similar properties. However, they are distinct trees. Caneleiro is smaller, while Canela de Velho is larger, though both belong to the same family and share similar medicinal properties.
  • This plant works to reduce pain and inflammation, particularly in the joints, back, and conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism, as well as aiding in blood purification.

About Cenostigma Macrophyllum

  • The first recorded sighting of this Brazilian species occurred in Mato Grosso over 150 years ago.
  • This tree thrives in the North, Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast regions of Brazil. From September to December and again from February to July, the tree becomes covered in clusters of yellow flowers, which resemble orchids. These flowers attract various insects and birds with their fragrant scent.
  • The Caneleiro tree typically grows between 10 to 20 meters in height.

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 Caneleiro Shanenawa 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 Caneleiro Shanenawa

I sieve Rapé Caneleiro Shanenawa 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.
