My old dried chakruna is grey, black looking. is this normal? Also, i have powderized it for ease of extraction. Do you think 3x 20 min boils of this black stuff should be enough to get most goodies out, before reducing? Thank's. "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

Green grey leaves I have also, but grey black no. Looks dead tissue to me. 20min x3 times is enough to get the active out IMO. Smell like tea n,n spirit !

Thanx rom. I'm starting to think maybe they are a brazilian variety or maybe even salvia leaves? "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

mine were dark grey, looking sortof black. When powdered it made a black mess. Managed to boil out some deep reddish drink. I guess it must be old Chakruna then! "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

Yes, maybe chaliponga leaves, that are darker also IME, but it depends if they were dried in sunlight (darker) or in black room. See, I dried salvia leaves and the one that drops and stay on ground go brown dark, the one I hand pick and dry in cupboard are green. dark green but green, no brown, grey or black. Was your supplier legit ? Smell like tea n,n spirit !

I guess i can try a little bit of the leaves maybe like 10g worth to test. Should be ok if it's Chaliponga, or Salvia...but not if they are TOE!  ....  "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"
