Discover the Ingredients of Colombian Guarumo Rapé
The main ingredient of this rapé comes from the forest pioneer tree Yarumo (cecropia membranacea). The plant leaves are shade or sun-dried, burned over a fire, or placed on an upside-down pot on hot coals to make snuff. The dried leaves are then crushed, pulverized, and often sifted. Nutshells and pots can serve as mortars.
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.
Experience the Ritual of Rapé
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.
