Its ultra-fine texture and characteristic aromatic profile make it a high-level ally for ritual, meditative, or guided introspection contexts.
Rapéh: a living tradition, carried out with respect
Our Rapéh honors the heritage of the Amazonian people through meticulous production methods that respect the environment. We work with producers who follow traditional practices and select high-quality raw materials, seeking to preserve the character of each blend: from fresher, more aromatic profiles to deep, earthy compositions.
Origin and craftsmanship in small batches
Each blend is produced in micro-batches to maintain sensory control (aroma, color, and fineness). The process includes careful drying of the plants, progressive grinding to obtain an ultra-fine texture, and sifting to ensure a homogeneous distribution of particles. This attention to detail improves consistency between batches and the clean sensation when used traditionally.
Benefits of the proposal (experience-based approach)
- A crisp, clean sensation thanks to its ultra-fine grind and selection of raw materials.
- Defined sensory profiles: fresher, more balanced, or deeper options depending on your context.
- Responsible production that prioritizes small batches and traceability of origin.
Storage and best practices
To preserve its character: store rapéh in a dry, cool, dark place, tightly closed and away from sources of moisture. Avoid unnecessary container transfers so as not to lose aromatic volatility. Keep the product out of the reach of children and pets.
Cultural and spiritual significance of Rapéh
Rapéh (also spelled rapé or hapé) is a medicine traditionally used by various Amazonian peoples, including the Yawanawá, Huni Kuin (Kaxinawá), Katukina, Nukini, and Yawanawa, where it forms part of spiritual, community, and healing practices that are passed down from generation to generation. It is not a simple “product”; it belongs to a living cultural context with specific songs, prayers, and protocols.
- Meaning and purpose: In its tradition, Rapéh is used to center the mind, promote grounding, and open a space for silence and attention. It is often accompanied by prayers and chants that guide the intention, and can be used before ceremonies, meditations, or moments of decision-making to gain clarity.
- Traditional uses:It is generally administered with tepi (applied by another person) or kuripé (self-administered), prioritizing respect, intention, and the accompaniment of someone with experience. The selection of mixtures and their preparation are based on local knowledge and the relationship with the territory.
- Ethics, respect, and reciprocity:Honoring Rapéh involves recognizing its indigenous origin, avoiding trivialization, and supporting responsible and fair supply chains. Whenever possible, it is recommended to learn about the people of origin of each mixture, the harvesting practices, and the impact on communities and the forest.
