New batch! One of the most popular and strong Rapé's to date.

The Kaxinawa (Huni Kuin) Cumaru Rapé is a potent and revered blend made from the ashes of the Cumaru tree, and its seeds (Dipteryx odorata), a species known for its incredible hardness and spiritual significance. In the traditions of the Huni Kuin people, Cumaru is considered a "tree that does not rot," symbolising endurance and strength. This resilient nature is deeply respected, as the tree is believed to possess the wisdom of many enchantments and is associated with providing spiritual protection and warding off negative energies.

Cumaru ashes are particularly valued in Rapé preparation due to the wood’s density, which results in a robust and grounding ash. This ash enhances the Rapé’s ability to center the user, making it especially effective for deep meditation and spiritual practices. The Huni Kuin use Cumaru Rapé to enter trance-like states, where it helps to clear the mind and spirit, fostering a profound sense of calm and clarity.

This blend is recognised for its capacity to support respiratory well-being, making it beneficial for practices involving breathwork and mindfulness. However, due to its strong nature, Cumaru Rapé is best used with intention and care, particularly in ritual settings, as it can prompt a deep purging and cleansing experience. This makes it more suitable for occasional use rather than daily application. Cumaru ash brings strength to snuff yet has a quite dehydrating effect so it may cause clogging of the nose.

In addition to its grounding properties, Cumaru Rapé is praised for enhancing concentration and mental focus. It is a powerful tool for those seeking to align their physical and spiritual energies, facilitating a deep connection with the self and the universe. The Cumaru tree’s spiritual significance is further underscored by its role as a protector against negative influences, making this Rapé ideal for spiritual cleansing and safeguarding one’s energy.

The beneficial effects of Cumaru extend to promoting overall balance and well-being. The tree’s natural compounds are believed to support relaxation and mental clarity, making this Rapé particularly useful to support relaxation or when seeking to enhance one’s connection to the breath and the body.

Using Huni Kuin Cumaru Rapé is more than a spiritual practice; it’s a journey of transformation. The Rapé has the potential to activate higher energy centers, such as the third eye and crown chakras, leading to heightened spiritual awareness and insight. During rituals, practitioners often experience deep inner peace and stillness as the Rapé helps to open pathways to higher spiritual realms. Given its intensity, proper preparation and setting are essential, as the experience can be profound and deeply moving.

Whether used for grounding, spiritual protection, or enhancing overall well-being, Huni Kuin Cumaru Rapé offers a powerful and transformative experience that is deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of the Huni Kuin people.

We take great care to reprocess all received stock to ensure the finest quality powder. Often, Rapé arrives with varying levels of fineness due to the lack of professional sieves used by the tribe. To address this, we meticulously sieve all powders to remove rough bits and particles, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and effective powder at 150-micron fineness. We use laboratory-grade sieves and dehydrating equipment to achieve this quality. This is our standard because it provides the best Rapé experience.
