Yawanawa Daime
This highly sought after Rapé has been prepared by a Daime community from area Rio Crôa, Brazil and is considered an extremely special blend. It is based on a very strong variety of Tobacco and jungle ingredients obtained from the Yawanawá. Specifically Parika ashes make this Rapé active in antibacterial properties which in turn helps the user to stay clear, focused and strong in extreme and physically difficult environments. Especially for those who are entering into long physical works lasting the course of days or weeks. Very balanced energy overall with minimal powder reaching the back of the throat makes this preparation perfect for the beginner as well as the regular user.

Kaxinawa Tsipi
This new and vibrant Rapè from the Kaxinawa is light brown in colour and it's aroma is embued with a sense of ascension and expansion. This effect is not only found in the olefactory sense but crosses over into its effect upon use. It is not sharp or harsh on the sinuses but for the discerning user it heightens ones senses and subdues the chatter of the mind while a greater appreciation for the sensory experience of the world around is felt. A tingling and excitation in ones sense of beingness becomes apparent. It is gentle with little body load, little eye watering, and no bad taste is experienced. It's effects may be mild for those used to harder "grey style" Rapè's yet they are very much present. It would be especially appropriate for newcomers to Rapè. Upon further getting to know this Rapé, it seems to aid in clearing the mind of the subtle background chatter present in our everyday routines. I a moderate dose, Tsipi can be overwhelming for those new to Rapé and time and space is needed to process the effects which will last for more than a few minutes. This blend has been ground to a very fine particle size and absorbs very well into the sinuses. It has its own particular colour and scent noticeably different from most other types of Rapè. Some sneezing is likely and the eyes tend to water almost immediately after application and the excess powder has a tendency to make its way downwards, meaning some physical purging is possible. After removal of the powder from the nose, the eyes seem to continue watering with infrequent sneezing and coughing. After the effects have resided the user is left in a calm and tranquil state ready to deal with the daily routines of everyday life. The background chatter is dissolved and one can focus on the here and now. Unfortunately we have very little information on the exact ingredients of this Rapè other than local Tabaco, Txunu ashes and a herb locally called "Tsipi" or "Tipy" which seems to add this vibrant characteristic. As with some ingredients from the jungle only a common local name is known. We will update this description in more detail once we have ascertained more about the ingredients used but we welcome any feedback on it. This is another one of several varieties of Rapé and ashes that were collected for us. A friend who travels through Acre has revisited many tribes in search for more knowledge and exchange. Now a few years onwards we proudly present this collection of genuine ashes and Rapé's.

Kaxinawa Tarauca
A new and rare Rapé! Unique and one-off. A must-have for the collector and connoiseur of Rapé. The scent of this new Rapé from the Kaxinawa (Huni kuin) is fantastic. Incredible deep Chocolate and Tabaco tones and an almost menthol like freshness that widens the nostrils are immediately apparrent upon inspection. Named after a river in Brazil "Tarauaca". It is a brown Rape. Unfortunately we have little information on its constituent parts but chocolate, Moi Tabaco, ashes and another unknown ingredient are suspected. It smells similar to the Kaxinawa Cacau Rapé but the flavour is deeper and fresher and the colour is darker. This is quite a special one, and we will not likely be able to obtain it again. Definately one for the connoisseur and collector of Rapé. This Rapé imparts an initial hit on the sinuses, the nose and face area but does not pentrate further into the head. It comes more as a pleasant pulsation than a piercing 'hit', that ebbs within a minute or so. Welling from the eyes arrives alongside a relaxation in the body and a slowing and cessation of thoughts. Some phelgm production occurs though we find this is a delayed effect. The afterglow from using this Rapé is a deeply grounding, calming and contemplative experience with relatively little body load. The Rapé maker is a paje (shaman) a son of the elder "paje" of the village. Money from this exchange goes towards the finishing of the medicine house of the village. The Kaxinawa tribe is the bigest tribe of Acre, with the most territories and area of teritorries. From which some territories (like Jordao) have over 30 Kaxinawa villages where over 3500 inhabitants of the Kaxinawa tribe live. Kaxinawas are known that apart of the traditional use of Rapé and Ayahuasca they also use Cannabis in their spiritual practice. This Rapé comes through a friend who yearly travels through the forests of Acre, collecting the rarest varieties of Rapé from the tribes he visits.

Nukini Kapixi Xani
This rare Rapé called Kapixi Xani is a very strong Rapè made by an experienced shaman from the Nukini tribe that has territory in Acre, municipalidad Cruzero do Sul, on the border with the national park “Serra do divisor“. This refreshing Rapé contains local herbs that are called "Kapixi" and "Xani", the strong Brazilian "Tabaco Corda" and Txunu ash. It is infused with the intention to give force to the spirit and in turn power to the body. Like most Nukini preperations it has its own unique flower scented aroma which feels inviting and warming, even before application. Overall very strong with an energy that wakes you up and grounds you into the present. The taste in the back of the throat, if it happens to make its way there, is earthy and like ancient mud. Minimal purging effects have been noticed but depending on the amount taken and ones state of being some nausea is possible. The preperations from the Nukini are some of the most pleasant and aromatic of all the Rapè blends. Even with the enhanced energies and power to the body the mental state is left calm and clear. This variety is sold out and only available in this set.

Nukini Floresta
A famously popular Rapé. Differing from many other tribes, the Nukini charge the women with making and collecting the sacred Rapé. Therefore, the Nukini Floresta carries a powerful feminine energy and a pleasant and perfumed scent. One of the new ingredients in this blend is Eucalyptus. Its fragrant and flowery odors will provide a deep emotional journey and a meditative mindset that can be perfectly used for balancing and grounding. Its effect is highly uplifting and intensely cleansing: all negative energies and emotions can be washed out and a complete new balance on emotional, spiritual, and physical levels can be perceived. The physical cleansing will start with cleaning throat, sinuses, and head. Often minimal residues will be left in the back of the throat, it is important to spit out and remove all remnants once the effect has resided, as with all Rapé’s. This helps to visualize the cleansing process. If the intention is present, clarity and cleansing will continue beyond weeks or months after using Nukini Floresta.

Yawanawa Parika
The basis of this extraordinary and famous Rapé is Arapiraca Tobacco and Parica ashes. It is simple referred to as "Parika". This highly praised Rapé blend is cherished among connoisseurs and healers alike due to its strong powerful effects as well as its active antibacterial ingredients. This Parika is what you’d expect from a traditional grey Rapé, yet it is full of force. It hits like a needle in the centre of perception with surgical precision, eliminating all mind activity. This Parika is extremely high vibrational and helps with clearing of negative and stuck energies in the body and mind. An outstanding Rapé with minimal purging effects. Revered by the many people who have used this exquisite Rapé, as one of the best ever produced. A must for the collector. This is a highly praised Rapé made by a non-tribal shaman. All the ingredients have been collected from the indigenous themselves, yet they have been prepared by a close friend who visits the indigenous Yawanawá tribe peoples frequently.

Yawanwawa Kapakuru
This new Yawanawa Rape is named after its creator. Kapakuru is a member of the Aldeia (village) of Nova Esperanza in the Yawanawà tribal lands where he works as a school teacher teaching traditional language to the younger generations. A very important issue for maintaining their culture. Many tribes have lost their original language and with it an important part of their identity. In their village Kapakuru is very much respected and liked for his powerful Rapé, as well as his force when blowing the medicine. Applying a good Rapé admistration is considered a science and the effect can depend a lot on the intention and mental state of the person who blows it. It is the vital energy of the other you receive. In the tribes, most people, especially the elder, don’t let just any person apply Rapé to them. It has to be an elder or respected Shaman. Kapakuru follows the basic Yawanawà recipe of Tabacco and ashes made from the bark of the Tsunu tree. This fine powdered blend can be considered reasonably powerful and has strong expelling properties. in some cases sneezing can be expected. Minimal powder lodges in the throat and after removal leaves the user clear and free of blockages.

Nukini Trevo Cumaru
Powerful and highly praised. This Rapé is made with mainly a very strong type of Tobacco but has also local organic Tobacco mixed in. It uses Parika ashes. Apart from the Tabaco and the ashes it is made with a herb called Trevo Cumaru, it is a herb that helps against cough, bronchitis, astma and respiratory problems in general. Trevo Cumaru (Justicia pectoralis) a small herbaceous plant that is member of the Acanthaceae family. Sometimes referred to as Chambá, Trevo Cumaru is often used in Ayahuasca. Trevo Cumaru is noted for its smell which is pleasant for many people but can be unpleasant for others. The dried leaves contain compounds that produce a vanilla smell. It is commonly found in hallucinogenic snuffs (Virola) used by the indiginous tribes and is said to increase the absorption of other ingredients in the snuff. The Wajacas (shamans) refer to the leaves of the Justicia as "Bolek-Bena" meaning "Leaves of the Angel of Death."

Kaxinawa Cumaru
A deeply intense and strong dark style Rapé containing Arapiraca Tobacco and Cumaru ashes. Cumaru is extremely grounding and has the ability to put the user into deep trance like states. It easily makes it way into the back of the throat, and in some occasions can cause deep nausea and detoxification. As with the Canela De Velho, purging is quite possible and the aftertaste although quite pleasant is extremely strong and can cause a continuous stream of phlegm in the throat. Intention and setting have an important role in the administration of this Rapé and one should take time and space to prepare for its effects. Dipteryx odorata is generally known as Cumaru or Cumaru Ferro, which translates as "Iron Cumaru". It has traditionally been used by the Huni Kuin or Kaxinawa as a good base for making ashes for Rapé. In general the woods or barks used for ashes are all of hardwood trees, it seems the harder the wood, the better the ash. The beans of the Cumaru tree are medicinal and are used also in food preparation and perfume as a substitute for Vanilla. This Rapé is prepared with strong Arapiraca Tabaco and with the ashes of the Cumaru that augment the strength of the Tabaco even more, making for a good power Rapé with a special kick hitting the right spot.
