Acacia Confusa Update 9-12-17

Greetings friends!
Acacia Confusa update 🙂
 
The majority of our preorder delay has been relative to the demand for the Extra Finely Shredded Acacia, and its processing procedure. Having demanded a majority of this from our supplier, it has always made the process of getting all 3 varieties slower than ideal.
 
The root of the problem with the Extra Fine, especially this year, has been the equipment used to Grind and Mill the bark down to a powder.
 
We usually try to get Powder to provide as our Extra Finely Shredded Acacia;
 
When we demand from our supplier that they grind it all the way to a Flour ( the finest powder of particulate size you can achieve with such machinery) the ware on the equipment, and the time it takes to produce it goes up exponentially!!
 
Our exclusive, awesome and reliable supplier in Hawaii has always had a hard time keeping up with our demand (hence the preorders!), but it seems that the repeated ware on the equipment and maintenance necessary to produce the Powder in abundance dwells at the root of this delay.
 
That being said, I’m here to inform that for the time being, we are having to withdraw our demand for the Powder, and instead will be offering slightly larger grain sizes (still smaller than the Fn shredded) as our Extra Fine.
 
I’m sure you all can understand, we are doing this to expedite the fulfillment of all preorders and get everyone the wonderful Acacia root bark which they need…!
 
We’re excited to be proceeding forward to get everyone taken care of promptly. Thank you for your support <3
 
Best wishes,
Zach of Eternity

White Sage Leaf

Another great addition to our stock is White Sage Leaf..!
We’ve had a lot of requests for this and we are proud to now be able to carry some fine Wild Harvested specimen.

Used traditionally and in modern times as a smudging tool to help cleans energy or space.
I have always really valued this herb’s smoke when feeling tense or imbalanced energies. With proper intention and respect it really does seem to clear the air much more than can be done without it.

Picture will be coming soon, we have our photographer coming down to stay for a bit

New Energizing and Stimulating Herbs

Here’s our new energizing and stimulating herbs…
Organic and Fair Trade Yerba Mate
Wild Harvested Guarana Seeds
and Organic Gotu Kola!
We will have these available in capsules as well as loose herb material for tea use. These are are really great herbs and are a great change of pace for anyone’s morning brew. These all go down a lot smoother for me than coffee (which i love but am taking a break from). It’s cool to introduce others to less-common herbs which serve the same function of helping us to get flowing, it’s always healthier to mix it up.

Betel Nuts

More Betel Nuts, which have gotten very popular through this year, are on the way to us from India! 🙂
This shipment will also have a very cool dream herb which we’ve never worked with yet…Entada Rheedii.
The E. Rheedii seeds are so cool, as large as your palm it looks like, and the inner meat is crushed and eaten to induce vivid dreams and to help one learn from their dreams.
Very excited to get these in stock! It’ll be a couple weeks at least, but they are on the way!

New Plants on the Way!

We have a bunch of cool plants on the way!
The first which I will announce is Blue Lotus Flowers…!
This has been requested for a while, and we’ve sampled some which we feel are pristine enough to be in our stock.
We are proud to be able to offer this teacher plant, very unique and warm friendly essence.

Will be in stock within the month! Hopefully closer to a week 🙂

Our Morning Glory Seeds Are a Unique Species

So it turns out our Morning Glory seeds are a unique and somewhat rare species…!
We were originally told Ipomoea Tricolor, which is what we were seeking, and what the Aztecs used traditionally for magic and spirit work.
I was quite disappointed to find out that these are not I. tricolor…but after researching the strain which we have obtained, which is Ipomoea Palmata (also known as I. cairica), I am now very fascinated!
This is a teacher plant which is not well documented…may or may not have traditional use in shamanism.
We are very interested to get some feedback from anyone who has purchased these! We haven’t had any complaints and we’ve sold quite a bit of these seeds already, but i haven’t heard any specific review of the seeds either.
We will be getting I. Tricolor soon as well. But for now, it is an exciting venture to be on a ‘new frontier’ of sorts…we have the opportunity to get to know a new teacher, and document its lessons!
Amazing how a stressful conundrum can become a beautiful opportunity!
Have a great day guys! 🙂
