New batch. Note: As with all Rapé, differences between batches are to be expected, for those used to this variety you will find this batch slightly different than you may be used to.

Kaxinawa Força Murici Rapé is one of the most sought-after and traditional blends offered by the Huni Kuin, also known as the Kaxinawá people. Revered for its powerful and clear vibrational energy, this Rapé is crafted using the ashes of the Murici tree (Byrsonima crassifolia), a species native to the Amazon rainforest. The Murici tree holds significant cultural and spiritual importance among the Huni Kuin, known for its ability to ground and clear the mind, making it an essential part of their spiritual practices. It is a classic of the Huni Kuin tradition. A nice, sharp and uncomplicated Rapé that is great for general use.

In the rich tradition of the Huni Kuin, Murici Rapé is more than just a tool for physical and mental clarity; it is a conduit for spiritual connection. The use of this Rapé is deeply ingrained in their cultural practices, often used to cleanse energies that accumulate in the lower parts of the body, particularly the lower chakras. The Huni Kuin believe that the Murici Rapé helps fight fatigue and keeps one spiritually active, providing the strength needed for daily tasks and warding off illness. Its effects resonate deeply with the throat and heart chakras, promoting a sense of joy and equilibrium that is crucial for community gatherings and spiritual ceremonies​.

Users of this Rapé often describe the initial sensation as sharp and penetrating, akin to a "nail" entering the senses, which instantly clears the mind of any lingering thoughts. This powerful opening of the sinuses and energetic vibration through the body leaves a clear mind and a comfortable, subtle buzz. The fine powder of this Rapé absorbs directly into the nasal passages, minimising any physical purging and leaving a calm, serene state of being. This makes it particularly effective for evening use, helping to gain focus and inner power before meditation or sleep​.

The Huni Kuin, which means "True People," are more commonly known as the Kaxinawá. With a population spread across Brazil and Peru, they are known for their vast knowledge of plant medicines and their experimental approach to creating Rapé blends. Unlike some other tribes that follow strict recipes, the Huni Kuin are known for their innovation, incorporating a wide variety of plants and ashes in their preparations. Despite this diversity, the Murici blend is a staple, much like rice and beans in Brazilian cuisine—a fundamental part of their daily rituals and spiritual practices.

This blend is highly favoured by those who seek a grounding and clarifying Rapé that not only aids in physical and mental cleansing but also fosters a deep connection to the spiritual world. Whether used in small or large doses, Murici Rapé is praised for its ability to induce a state of tranquility and heightened awareness, making it a valuable tool for both personal and communal rituals.

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.

Kaxinawa means "People of the Bat" and is a name that was given to them by other enemy tribes. They are one of the biggest tribes in Acre state spread over different areas of the state with many communities and still exist in Peru as well. The Kaxinawas or Huni kuin (meaning true humans) are considered to be one of the biggest tribes in Acre, as they account for 42% of the indigenous population. They belongs to the Pano linguistic tribes that habitat the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon. Moreover, their leader is a respected shaman that vigorously stands up for his tribe in public and through organizations: He founded the União das Naçoes Indigenas (UNI/AC) and ASKARJ, and he is a cofounder of the Alliance of Forest Peoples and of the International Council on Human Rights (IACHR). These organizations are speaking for the rights of the indigenous communities, as well as for human rights and the protection of the rainforest (Aya Conference 2014, Ibiza).

In addition, the Kaxinawas apply Rapé for mental healing, mostly in combination with chanting. Rapé connects the tribe with spirits of the jungle and - depending on the exact ingredients - it can cure, heighten concentration, improve hunting, or be a connector with the spiritual nature.
