Descripción
Rapé Envira Ferro
Envira ferro is a South American name given to trees from the Oxandra genus. The Shawadawa people use the bark and trunk of this tree to make the ash that gives its name to this rapé. Blended with fine Arapiraca Mapacho makes it a bright, not too extreme but still powerful Shawadawa rapé. No additional herbs, just Arapiraca Mapacho and Envira Ferro Ash.
About the Tribe
Shawadawa (also known as Arara del Acre, Shawandaua, Shawanaua, Shawanauá, Shaonahua, or Shaodawa) is an indigenous group that inhabits the southwest of the Brazilian state of Acre. This tribe came in contact with Western “civilization” only at the beginning of the 20th century. The entire tribe currently consists of only 550 souls. Shawã means Macaws and Dawa means family, so they are the Macaw family.
Today, the main objective of the Shawãdawa people is to protect their lands, and their forests, where all our natural medicines are present. They are also always looking to save and maintain their culture, and the teachings of their ancestors.

Handling & Sorting

- an extremely fine powder.
- a guaranteed consistent fineness

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 Envira Ferro stays fresh and potent for as long as possible, especially in humid climates:
- Airtight Containers: Use containers with tight seals, such as screw-cap tins or vacuum-sealed jars, to minimize air exposure.
- 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.
- Avoid Frequent Opening: Minimize the time the container is open to prevent exposure to fluctuating humidity and air.
Handling & Preparation of Rapé Envira Ferro
I sieve Rapé Envira Ferro 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.
