Sananga & Sananga rapé
When I was starting to travel to Brazil, about 18 years ago I heard stories about a rapé made with Sananga plant powder. The idea of this blend made no sense to me. Sananga is a liquid extract that’s used for eye treatment.
Why would somebody add powdered parts of this plant to make rapé ? All my contacts in rapé Brazil confirmed and said “These are two separate medicines and should not be joined together”.
There have been various sources selling this type of rapé with Sananga or at least claiming their rapé had Sananga in it. I always felt I did not want a rapé in my assortment where I have conflicting feelings.
It’s good, no more conflict
With the knowledge that it is the Sananga root and bark ashes that make part of the blend all is in balance. Sananga ash and with all ashes it’s about working with mineral salt. The healing properties come from here and the energetic imprint that migrated from the plant form to the ashes through the burning process.

About the Tribe
The Kuntanawa people (known as “the tribe of the babassu Palm or Babassu coconut”). They have always defended their spiritual tradition as their principle of existence.
They have always used plants that connect with the beings of the forest and the spirits. Thus learned how to heal the tribe using traditional medicine. To this day the Kuntanawa people keep their practices.
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 Sananga 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 Sananga
I sieve Rapé Sananga 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.
