Understanding Theobroma cacao
Theobroma cacao is the scientific name of the cacao tree, with ""cacau"" being the Portuguese term for it. The genus name derives from Greek, meaning ""food of the gods."" Theobromine, an alkaloid found in cacao, is a vasodilator, diuretic, and heart stimulant. The word Cacao has its roots in Nahuatl (Aztecan) cacaua, which is the origin of cacahuatl, translating to ""bean of the cocoa tree.""
Native to the Amazon basin, the cacao tree has spread to other parts of the Americas and beyond. Tribes that utilize the ashes for their Rapé obtain them from native trees growing wild along riversides in the jungle. This ash is 100% authentic Amazonian.

Primarily used by the Huni Kuin and other tribes, the bark and wood from the native cacao or cacau tree are burned to create ashes for their Hapé. The small trees with thin trunks make ash production a challenging process, resulting in a rare and authentic medicine.
