B. Caapi Tukanaka Vine - Paste 30:1 | Concentrated

Tukanaka Red Caapi in 30:1 Paste

Tukanaka is a red-hued variety of Banisteriopsis caapi that grows in the Brazilian Amazon. The name Tukanaka distinguishes it from other Caapi cultivars, and the reddish coloration of the vine gives it the 'red' designation among practitioners. Like all Caapi varieties, it contains the beta-carboline alkaloids harmine, harmaline and tetrahydroharmine (THH). The red colouration runs deep into the vine's cross-section and is not merely superficial.

Production and Sourcing

The paste is produced from fresh-harvested Tukanaka vine by caboclo communities in the southern Brazilian Amazon. The 30:1 concentration ratio compresses 30kg of fresh vine material into 1kg of paste, making it a highly concentrated format that preserves the full beta-carboline spectrum. The red coloration of the source vine carries through into the finished paste, distinguishing it visually from the Caupuri and Ourinho varieties and making it easy for your customers to identify.

Expanding Your Caapi Range

Tukanaka paste offers a Brazilian-origin alternative alongside the Peruvian Caupuri paste and Brazilian Ourinho paste. Offering all three varieties allows your customers to explore the remarkable diversity within this single species. Each carries its own character and provenance.
