Kaxinawa Special
A very rare Rapé. A special blend from the Kaxinawa. Sourced by a traveler that made friends in remote settlements in the forests of Acre, Brazil. This high energy and very appealing Rapé seems to modulate energy around the temples of the head and calms the mind of chatter and distractions. Very mild at first with a warming energy that grows into a clear open awareness of the present. A good starting point for those wishing to experience Rapè for the first time and equally it is sought after by those looking for something different and rare. The fine powder absorbs well into the nostrils and is easy to blow out afterwards. Overall a very nurturing and gentle Rapè with its own special qualities.

Kaxinawa Cumaru de Cheiro
Very popular and highly praised Rapé. The Kaxinawa people are some of the most experimental tribes when it comes to making Rapé. Cumaru de Cheiro has a strong initial effect with a typical "grey" flavor. Very fresh overall with a heavier vibration to follow and time is needed to process. Similar to many Forca types this particular variety is extremely powerful on the inset. If the body is too congested with toxins, some nausea and purging may follow and the effects seem to flow through the body rather then the mind. Afterwards a floating sensation is noticed. Powder easily makes it way into the back of the throat and can cause extra purging even after the main effects have worn off. A lot of residue is forced from the body and much phlegm is ejected afterwards. An extremely potent preparation from the Kaxinawa tribe. Care is needed to not overdo the amount taken. Be gentle and moderate in your first connection to this Rapé. This variety is extremely strong.

Kaxinawa Lourinho
Kaxinawa Lourinho, AKA Huni Kuin Nisun. This delightful and rare green Rapé from the Huni Kuin is a special Tabaco free Rapé for medicinal and spiritual use. This Rapé is made with a special undisclosed mixture of local herbs from the Huni Kuin tradition. This a good Rapé for use in ceremony, when a person gets taken by dizziness or strong unmanagable energies. A good application of this Rapé is indicated to clear away the negative energy and release the person of this accumulation of tension. In their tradition they call this state “Nisun”. This can also happen in daily life, it is like a spiritual affliction, a shadow that comes over the person. Some of the psychological symptoms that are associated are being fidgety, confused thoughts and emotional unbalanced feelings. The physical symptoms of Nisun are headaches, insomnia, lack of appetite and at times dizziness and fatigue. Where above we talked about more serious cases of this accumulation of negative energy. Nearly on a pathological level, we all know how we sometimes get a bit down, after a long day where things don´t flow so well we can feel a bit charged and so on which is a gentler form of this accumulation of bad energy. For these moments the Huni Kuin Lourinho is a wonderful medicine to clear away these energies and leave one feeling light and refreshed, like a herbal bath for the mind. On a lighter tone this is a great Rapé for those who don´t like tobacco, it has a delightful refreshing scent guaranteed to lift the spirit and clear the mind and just leave you with a pleasant feeling. This Rapé was made by a student of their traditions and already a great knower of plants and medicines. He works together with his father, the chief of their village, on the tribal lands close to Tarauacá in Acre state. Their land is the smallest Huni Kuin land but at the same one the most productive in agricultural production. They plant a lot and have quite some fishponds where they hold fish for food and to help with their income. Life is not always easy where they are; although they live pretty close to the road the access to their communities is terrible and in the rain season you can only get in by foot, a long walk, especially carrying supplies. Supplying medicines, not only Rapé, helps them to make life a bit easier while doing something positive for the outside world, sharing their knowledge and wisdom. This Rapé serves as a mild yet intelligent tool for the beginner, or for those that prefer a tabaco free Rapé. It ofcourse also blends well with Tabaco, Mapacho or Rapé or ashes, to create your own unique personal Rapé blend.

Kaxinawa Taraucaca
A new and rare Rapé! Unique and one-off. A must-have for the collector and connoisseur 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 Rape 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 rape imparts an initial hit on the sinuses, the nose and face area but does not penetrate 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 Rape 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 biggest tribe of Acre, with the most territories and area of territories. 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.
