New batch. As with all Rapé, differences between batches are to be expected. For those familiar with this variety, you may find this batch slightly different from what you are used to.

This is another exquisite Rapé crafted by our esteemed Kuntanawá Rapé producer, featuring a unique plant from the Kuntanawá tribe, a thin vine known as “Veia de Pajé” or "Shaman’s Vein". Also referred to as the "Heart of the Boa Constrictor" due to its heart-shaped leaves, or simply "Jiboinha", meaning "Little Boa", this herb is utilized by the tribe for various magical practices in the forest. Through friendly conversations, they shared some of its uses and powers: bathing with this herb is believed to enhance business prospects, attract positive relationships, and bring good fortune. It is also valued for hunting, helping to be less visible while attracting prey. In Rapé preparation, it wards off negative energies and attracts positive ones, acting as an energetic magnet. It is crucial to maintain a firm and focused mind to attract the right things. Additionally, it offers protection against jealousy and spiritual persecution, guiding us towards proper conduct and spiritual alchemy. Veia de Pajé is a significant plant in the Kuntanawá tribe's traditions, used in various shamanic practices and rituals. It possesses magical properties that can influence one's luck, attract positive energies, and provide protection. The vine is utilized not only in Rapé but also in spiritual baths and other rituals to harness its full spectrum of benefits, knowledge often kept within the tribe and shared through trusted, friendly exchanges.

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.

Like the Nukini, the Kuntanawa tribe became almost extinct due to the massacres of the latex cycle. One single family was left after the rubber boom and only since the beginning in 2000 a small group of Kuntanawa started to claim their indigenous heritage (Pantoja et al. 2014; Labate et al. 2014). Unfortunately, their culture is still under threat and the Kuntanawa are still struggling to regain full ethnic recognition and they are trying to regain their territory. Nowadays, there are only about 250 members left that are scattered throughout the region of Acre, Brazil. In order to survive, the Kuntanawa are joining other Pano linguistic tribes and they are organizing festivals together to share their traditions, their rituals, and their culture with foreign visitors. This small Pano linguistic tribe strongly values the ritualistic use of Ayahuasca to teach them and to guide them. The Kuntanwa even hold a strong believe that Ayahuasca will unravel their ancient knowledge and bring back their partly lost traditions (Pantoja et al. 2014). However, their language seems to be irrecoverably lost (Labate et al. 2014).
