Huni Kuin-rapé, from their hands to your ritual
Rapé from people I know, from a Huni Kuin village in Acre. Super fine, handmade and freshly bottled.
A fresh shipment almost every month
What makes our rapé special
Experienced users recognize it immediately: this is genuine craftsmanship.
Superfine
Rapé you see elsewhere is often coarser and grainier. Ours is extra-fine, almost powdery. That shows how much craftsmanship goes into it. And you need less of it.
Handmade
Dried, finely pounded, crumbled by the sun and sifted. Without machines, with song and prayer.
Fresh, made in small batches
A new shipment arrives almost every month, with all varieties.
Dark glass
Bottled immediately in a dark bottle that blocks UV light. Open it and you can smell how fresh it is.
Fifteen species from the forest
Each with its own character, in 7.7 or 15 grams.
How to read the golden diamonds
Each strain has a strength from 1 to 7, just like on the label. The more diamonds that light up, the stronger the blend. Not sure? Start lower and gradually build up.
Strength scale from 1 to 7, as on the label. More diamonds means stronger.
Soft and friendly
Gentle to get to know. Noticeable, but mild.
For example, Rosa (3) and Cacau (4)
Sturdy and balanced
Most species. Tsunu and Murici are strong, yet still a good start.
For example, Tsunu (5) and Samaúma (6)
Very powerful
Only for those who already know rapé well and are seeking depth.
Murú (7) and Buna Rao (7)

Answer to your questions
What is rapé?
Rapé (pronounced "ha-pé") is a fine plant powder traditionally used by the Huni Kuin in ceremonies and meditation.
Which type suits me?
It is best to start with a milder variety, such as Rosa (3 out of 7). Tsunu and Murici are strong, yet still a good place to start. The selection guide compares them side by side.
What does the strength level 1 to 7 mean?
It is the same scale as on the label. The more gold squares, the stronger the blend.
How fresh is the rapé?
A new shipment arrives almost every month, in small batches. Immediately upon arrival, the rapé is placed in a dark bottle that blocks UV light.
How do I store rapé?
Cool, dry and dark. Always close the bottle tightly, as moisture is its greatest enemy.
