Nukini Floresta - A Bright Forest Ceremony

Function and Composition

Nukini Floresta is a well-loved and revitalising Rapé, prepared in the traditional feminine-led style of the Nukini people. It features three core ingredients: Sabia Corda Tabaco, Tsunu ashes (made from bark and wood), and a small amount of Eucalyptus leaf powder, giving this blend its signature clarity and brightness. Light in texture and tone, it is fragrant and expansive without being overpowering.

This blend is crafted by experienced Nukini women using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. It reflects a balance between spiritual grounding and emotional freshness—bringing the forest’s clarity directly into the body. While it begins with a light, sharp entry through the sinuses, the deeper effects unfold gradually: clearing energetic residue, uplifting the emotional body, and gently supporting mental spaciousness.

Energetic and Ceremonial Qualities

Nukini Floresta is designed for clearing and uplifting, especially on the mental and emotional levels. The experience often begins with a sharp opening of the head and upper respiratory channels, clearing out stagnation, fog, and heaviness. As the effects settle, users often report a wave of lightness, balance, and spacious awareness—making this blend ideal for emotional reset, ritual preparation, or reconnecting to inner clarity after a challenging period.

The presence of Eucalyptus brings a clean aromatic freshness that supports breathwork, focus, and subtle perception. Used with intention, Nukini Floresta becomes more than a physical medicine—it acts as a spiritual purifier, capable of aligning the inner terrain with the rhythm of the forest.

Sabia Corda Tabaco – A Smooth and Focused Foundation

This blend is anchored by Sabia Corda Tabaco, a twisted cord of Nicotiana rustica prized for its smooth but present force. It is known for offering strong grounding without heaviness, and a focused presence that brings both body and breath into harmony. In this blend, Sabia Corda provides a stable base, allowing the lighter elements to shine while holding the user in a space of rooted awareness.

Tsunu Ashes – Purifying Structure from Wood and Bark

The Tsunu ashes used in this blend are made from carefully selected bark and wood of sacred Amazonian trees. While the name “Tsunu” is often used generically among the Nukini, the ashes carry specific energetic characteristics: they purify, protect, and elevate. Here, they act as both an activator and a carrier, facilitating deep absorption of the Tabaco and plant essence while supporting clarity and spiritual alignment.

Eucalyptus Leaf – Aromatic Lightness and Emotional Cleanse

Though not a native plant to the Amazon, Eucalyptus has become a respected addition in many Indigenous Rapé traditions. Its leaf powder brings an aromatic sharpness that opens the sinuses, clears energetic congestion, and stimulates the higher senses. In Nukini Floresta, Eucalyptus softens the intensity of Tabaco, adds a fragrant freshness, and supports a light, cleansing journey through the mental and emotional body.

The Nukini People – Forest Keepers and Carriers of Feminine Medicine

The Nukini are a small but resilient Indigenous community of the Pano linguistic family, living along the rivers and deep forested regions of Acre, Brazil. With a population of around 750 people, the tribe has survived cultural disruption, displacement, and the trauma of the rubber boom. Today, they are known not only for their resistance and revival—but also for the unique feminine lineage of Rapé preparation within their culture.

Among the Nukini, it is the women who carry the knowledge of plant mixing, forest gathering, and sacred medicine preparation. Their Rapé is often floral, fragrant, and energetically refined—holding a quality of intuitive healing that sets it apart. Nukini Floresta exemplifies this tradition, offering a gentle but clear medicine that connects body, spirit, and nature in one breath. To read a detailed article on the Nukini tribe, click here.

Natural Variation and Care Notes

As with all tribal Rapé blends, Nukini Floresta may show minor variation in texture, colour, or scent depending on season, drying method, and plant maturity. Its texture is soft and dry, making it easy to work with for both beginners and experienced users. As always, it is important to spit out any residue after the effects subside to complete the energetic release. Store in a sealed container, out of sunlight and moisture. Use with respect and intention—this is a sacred forest medicine, not a recreational substance.

Breath Practice for This Blend

Upon application, breathe in (through the mouth only) with courage, and let the exhale fall by gravity. Begin nasal breathing only after the clearing has begun.

Customer Report

"...Thank you very much for this beautiful Rapé. Strong, intense, and opens the heart for beautiful inner experiences. Good to use on a multi-day process to go deep on emotional releases. Asking an intention accompanies too, but you can just let yourself be guided by the Rapé. Good advise for large doses: Have time for the experience and be calm..."

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 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.
