Aroeira invites us to look at what we are leaving for later and recover our capacity to begin.

What makes Rapé Aroeira distinct

There are things we want to do and things we know we need to do. Yet we leave them for tomorrow.

We put off a conversation, a project, a decision, a task or something we have promised ourselves for a long time.

For us, Aroeira speaks of responsibility and action: recognizing what is in our hands and taking our part, without doing more simply for the sake of doing more.

What am I leaving for later? What am I waiting for before I begin? What depends on me that I am still not doing?

Composition

  • Base: Rustic Amazonian tobacco
  • Ingredient accompanying the tobacco: Aroeira
  • Origin: Brazil

How we understand it

At Ancestrina, we associate Aroeira with the moment we stop waiting for something outside us to set us in motion.

For us, responsibility means recognizing our capacity to respond: looking at what is before us, distinguishing what is ours to do and acting.

In our energetic reading, we associate Aroeira with the first chakra, a territory we relate to the earth, our foundation, a sense of security and the possibility of supporting ourselves as we move forward.

Aroeira reminds us that movement often begins before every doubt has disappeared, when we take the first step.

Origin and Production

Ancestrina’s rapés are made directly by elders of the Marubo, Munduruku, and Yanomami tribes in Brazil, with whom we maintain a direct relationship.

These preparations are made for Ancestrina based on each community’s traditional knowledge. When a variety contains tobacco, the tobacco used is rustic Amazonian tobacco grown by the communities themselves.

Each rapé retains its ingredients, but it does not follow an industrial formula with identical proportions. The quantities may vary from one batch to another depending on the knowledge and intuition of the Mayor who prepares it.
