Handcrafted Wooden Tepi – Classic Design & Smooth Flow
This hand-carved Tepi, crafted by skilled artisans in Bali, embodies simplicity, functionality, and refined craftsmanship. Made from a carefully selected variety of woods, including Tamarind, Waro, Samara, Teak, and Coconut, each piece is naturally unique, displaying captivating grain patterns and a rich blend of light and dark tones. With a classic, undecorated finish, this 18 cm-long Tepi is a timeless and reliable tool for administering Rapé in a controlled and effective manner.
Expertly shaped for precision and ease of use, this Tepi features a moderate-diameter airflow channel, making it suitable for both experienced users and those new to Tepi application. The airflow is balanced and smooth, requiring a steady, medium-strength exhalation to effectively deliver Rapé into the sinuses. Its ergonomic length and natural grip allow for comfortable handling, ensuring a seamless and intentional application.
As a handmade product, each Tepi is one of a kind, with distinct variations in wood grain, color, and texture. These organic differences ensure that no two Tepis are exactly alike, giving each piece a unique character and energy. The Tepi you receive will be similar in shape and craftsmanship, but slight variations in tone and texture enhance its authenticity and individuality.
