Пить — значит призвать присутствие.

Warana — eye of the gods in the Sateré-Mawé language. When the fruit ripens, its scarlet skin opens to reveal a shape irresistibly evoking a human eye. Over a thousand years of use by the peoples of the Rio Maués basin. A stimulant unlike any other: slow-release, matrix-bound, civilisationally old.

The mushroom of the mountain monk — from the Japanese Shugendō (Yamabushitake) to the Mori 2009 revolution (Phytotherapy Research). A Chinese imperial treasure for 2,000 years, with hippocampal neurogenesis via NGF/BDNF validated clinically today. A plant of the long, cumulative and reversible course — for those who want to build a quality of cognitive presence over 3 to 12 months.

Fifteen hundred years of Kichwa wayusa upina — the morning circle where the night's dreams become the day's decisions. Caffeine, theobromine and chlorogenic acids = a long wakefulness with no spike, no crash. Present in the INFUSE Love Elixir alongside Damiana, Blue Lotus, and Rose of Damascus.

The Guaraní say ayyu — the word-soul, the word-flower. Lorca says duende — what rises up through the soles of the feet. Heidegger says Sage — the saying that does not describe but calls. Henri Gougaud speaks of the word that knows when to fall silent. Four traditions, one same finding: some languages have words for what ours has forgotten to name.

Animism is not a religion — it is a grammar. Eduardo Kohn, Robin Wall Kimmerer, David Abram, Bayo Akomolafe, Anna Tsing: seven INFUSE editorial rules for keeping the plant a subject within the sentence.

A rare plant of the sun and of warm nights — one that does not light desire but keeps it company. Companion of the Guaycura of Baja California, Maya-Aztec ally of Cacao, and today part of INFUSE's Love Elixir and Euphoria Blend.
