{"product_id":"buna-rao-rape","title":"Buna Rao rapé – Huni Kuin","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBuna Rao rapé: rare, deep and fragrant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrength: 7 out of 7. Character: rare deep hapé, liquid dreams, ancestral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are places in the Amazon where the air feels different. Richer. Protected. As if the forest itself has drawn a boundary and says: here it is safe. In such places Buna Rao grows. And that atmosphere is in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao rapé is made by the Huni Kuin in Acre, in the Brazilian Amazon. It has strength 7 out of 7, the highest on our scale. This is not a blend to start with. It is a blend to grow towards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Buna Rao?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao is the name of a plant from the tradition of the Huni Kuin. In their lore it is called the \"enchanted plant\". You do not find it everywhere. It requires a certain place and the right conditions. The Huni Kuin harvest it with care, precisely because it is so rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend also contains Buna Tura. You can also find that plant in our 7 Eva's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn other sites you sometimes see the same name written differently: Anu Buna Rau, Buna Rau or Ana Buna Rau. We stick to Buna Rao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the bottle, and you will notice it immediately. The scent is warm, resinous and almost sweet. Different from all other varieties in our assortment. For many people that scent is the first thing they remember of Buna Rao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapé is pronounced as \"ha-pé\". That is why you also see the spelling hapé. It is a fine plant powder that the Huni Kuin have traditionally used in ceremony and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Buna Rao is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao is also made entirely by hand. The plants are dried, finely pounded and further pulverized by the sun. Then everything goes through a large sieve. What remains is a superfine powder. During the work, songs are sung and prayers are said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapé you see elsewhere is often a bit coarser and grainier. Buna Rao is almost powdery. With a strong blend like this you notice that extra: you need very little of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLimited stock, honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao is available in small quantities. If it is sold out, you wait for the next shipment. That is how it goes with a plant that does not grow on demand. Want to know when it is available again? Send Kevin a message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKevin has had a connection with a Huni Kuin village in Acre for about eight years, with daily contact via WhatsApp and video calls. The rapé comes directly from them, without intermediaries. Kevin does the final check. Then Buna Rao goes directly into a dark bottle that blocks uv-light. This way, the prayers and songs remain captured in it. Going to the village is at the top of his list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Huni Kuin are also called Kaxinawá. They themselves choose Huni Kuin, \"the True People\". So do we.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"They get the price they ask. I never haggle. And besides, a part of the proceeds goes back to the village.\" — Kevin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do people experience Buna Rao?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you know that? You come home after a day full of people. You are tired, but not from your own things. You have picked up all sorts of things that are not yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is exactly when many people choose Buna Rao. They describe a clear feeling of what is theirs and what is not. As if a boundary comes around them that they themselves should have drawn. Open to what is good. Closed to what is heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there is something that often comes up with Buna Rao: radiance. Many people say that something in them starts to shine that normally remains hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the label are three words: rare deep hapé, liquid dreams, ancestral. See those words as an image. Some experience Buna Rao as deep and dreamy, with a feeling of something old. Others mainly as clear and protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat many people experience with Buna Rao\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA clear feeling of your own boundary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA feeling of being protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRadiance: showing more of yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDepth, sometimes dreamy, with a warm scent that lingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is experience, not a promise. Everyone experiences rapé differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Buna Rao rapé for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao is for a smaller group. For that group, it is difficult to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou work all day with people\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a facilitator, coach, ceremony leader or in healthcare. You give a lot and you take in a lot. Many people in such a role use Buna Rao to come back to themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou feel a lot from others\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome people are naturally open. They immediately feel the atmosphere in a room. That is a gift, and it calls for a clear boundary. Many people experience that Buna Rao supports this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou want to show more who you are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot as a trick, but from within. Many people experience with Buna Rao a warm radiance that truly belongs to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou are already experienced with rapé\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuna Rao has strength 7 out of 7. Therefore, do not start with this blend. Are you new? Start with Tsunu, Rosa or Murici. Do you already know rapé well? Then Buna Rao is a special deepening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-fr\/pages\/keuzehulp\"\u003eWhich rapé suits you?
