Hey nexions, I just tried the Herbal Peculation method and for some reason on the first 2 sticks of vines i tried were purple color. Then the last 2 sticks of vines i pounded up, re-placed cotton balled and it came out yellow? do you think this is difference in quality? Which one should i drink in terms of potency?


The B. Caapi was advertised as Yellow Caapi

The darker stuff will be more potent, you may want to reduce it down a little bit. The first jug looks like it barely extracted anything.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I might also note that this was from the same order & bag of vines and looks like i got 2 potent vine-sticks out of 9oz seems like a lil bit of a rip off but i might be talking out my other end maybe potent vines are hard to come by?

purple?? that sounds very weird to me..I have never ever seen a purple caapi brew..are you even sure it is caapi? If I had a purple caapi brew I would be wondering if I really had caapi.

well from the pic it just looks kind of darkish red which is pretty normal for aya

yeah red is fine..usually when reduced and brewed thoroughly it will be a deep dark reddish brown..sometimes amber.

I'm reducing it now, It is defiantly red brown. Maybe the light was hitting it weird or something, or dare i say it at the risk of comprising my extraction skills i forgot to fully wash all my tea bottles so there's a hint of purple
