Kaxinawá Força Murici – Grounding Clarity from the True People

Function and Composition

Kaxinawá Força Murici is a deeply traditional and widely respected Rapé blend made by the Huni Kuin, also known as the Kaxinawá people. It features artisanal Arapiraca Corda Tabaco and ashes of the Murici tree (Byrsonima crassifolia), a species native to the Amazon rainforest. The preparation follows classic Huni Kuin methods, producing a potent yet balanced Rapé ideal for general use, both in ceremony and everyday grounding practice. Despite the Huni Kuin’s vast array of sacred snuff recipes, Murici Rapé is considered their staple—much like rice and beans in Brazilian cuisine.

Energetic and Ceremonial Qualities

This Rapé offers a sharp, clean, and penetrating effect that many describe as “like a nail through the center of perception.” It clears the sinuses quickly and powerfully, followed by a soft, stabilizing aftereffect. Energetically, it brings attention to the lower chakras—supporting focus, movement, and strength. It is also linked to a feeling of uplifted calm, making it suitable for moments of fatigue, meditation, or evening relaxation. The spiritual activity it fosters is subtle yet sustaining, described by the Huni Kuin as essential for keeping the spirit alert and joyful, especially during community gatherings.

Murici Ashes – Cleansing and Grounding

The Murici tree is highly regarded for its energetic clearing properties. Its ashes are used in Rapé to help dispel dense or stagnant energies, particularly in the abdomen and lower energetic centers. Among the Huni Kuin, Murici is associated with joy and vitality. The tree’s fruit is cherished by forest animals, and its bark and wood produce a soft, light-colored ash that blends smoothly with Tabaco. It is said to facilitate clarity, physical grounding, and a re-centering of one’s awareness. To read a comprehensive article on the Murici ashes, click here.

Arapiraca Corda Tabaco – Smooth Strength and Balance

This blend uses artisanal Arapiraca Corda Tabaco—fermented, aged, and twisted into dense ropes. Known for its dark, smooth, and well-balanced character, Arapiraca is milder than Sabia yet still strong and grounding. It delivers a clean flavor, and provides a dependable base for Rapé used in both meditative and ceremonial contexts. In this blend, it serves to unify the light, subtle energy of the Murici with a firm and centering Tabaco spirit. To read a detailed article on the Arapiraca Corda Tabaco, click here.

The Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) – Innovators and Keepers of Forest Wisdom

The Huni Kuin, or “True People,” are known for their experimental and vast plant knowledge, especially in the realm of sacred medicines. Living across Brazil and Peru, they belong to the Pano linguistic family and are recognized for their visionary artistry, music, and deep relationship with Ayahuasca, Kambô, and Rapé. While many tribes follow fixed recipes, the Huni Kuin are known for improvising with seasonal and locally available plants, creating blends that reflect personal and spiritual intuition.

Despite this creative approach, Murici Rapé remains a foundational blend—used to maintain spiritual readiness, cleanse fatigue, and support clarity throughout the day. As such, it is often the first blend learned and the one returned to again and again, whether in solitude or community. To read a detailed article on the Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá) tribe, click here.

Setting the Standard for Ultra-Fine Rapé

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 a smooth and effective powder at 250-micron fineness—slightly less fine than most of our Rapé. We use laboratory-grade sieves and dehydrating equipment to achieve this quality. This is our standard because it provides the best Rapé experience.
