Stephane Jansegers –
If not as fine as the colombian manbe used for community empowerment and social health, extremely fine with great ballance of yarumo ash (cecropia sp.)… it is for shure a product of quality, shipping is fast (10 days to france!) And the taste is fresh. Way better than “just” a coca flour. I took the opportunity to recook it with some local leaves ash (oak, kiwi, laurel), blend it for more time and pass it again through a fine tissue. The result is than rather excellent. Thank you for taking care of the good quality and the nice prayers too. The quality of the packaging is also a testimony of the amount of care you put in your products. Thank you.
