The people behind the blend

The Kuntanawa – a people reborn

The Kuntanawa are an Indigenous people of Acre, part of the wider Pano cultural family of the western Amazon. Nearly erased during the violence of the rubber boom, their descendants publicly reclaimed their identity in the 2000s and now lead a remarkable revival of their language, songs and ceremonies along the Tejo River. Their traditions are rooted in forest wisdom, prayer and the protection of ancestral lands – a struggle for territorial recognition that continues today.

For them, Jatobá is the grandfather of the forest – strong, wise and protective. Its ash is prepared with prayer and sometimes combined with other plants into a harmonious blend.
