Made from Banisteriopsis caapi and Nicotiana rustica, this snuff evokes ancestral knowledge and communication with earth spirits. It opens doors of light and helps balance the darkness. Our Caapi Rapé is made exclusively for us by a friend deeply involved with medicinal plants and who has been trained by ‘curandeiro’ healers from many parts of South America. The Ayahuasca vine leaves used in our Caapi Rapé are Banisteriopsis caapi yellow leaves and harvested in the Colombian Amazon Basin area.

What is Rapé?

Rapé, pronounced ‘ha-pey’ in Portuguese, is a traditional snuff used by various indigenous tribes of South America, predominantly tribal people from Brazil and Peru. Rapé blends contain a ground mixture of plants, tree bark, seeds, and ash. The fine powder is blown into each nostril through a bone or bamboo pipe called a ‘Tepi’ or ‘Kuripe’. The Tepi applicator is a long blow pipe that connects the nostril of the receiver to the mouth of the person that administers the snuff. The Kuripe is for self-application. The V-shaped applicator connects the nostril to the mouth allowing the snuff to be self-blown into the nose.

Each tribe has its own rapé formula, and usually, it is women who gather the ingredients. The selection, mixture, and grinding process are regarded as a ritual only to be performed by a reputable healer. The snuff is typically made in small batches according to the specific needs of the person being treated or the ceremony’s occasion.
