Shamanic Snuff • Tsunu Native

Tsunu Native Hapé is the gentlest of our Tsunu varieties.
This blend features Tsunu ashes combined with medium-strength natural Moi Mapacho, typical of Acre state. The Tsunu ashes used are sourced from our Yawanawa friends, who are recognized as masters of Tsunu. While Tsunu is a commonly used ash in the region, the Yawanawa’s specific variety is distinguished by its unique properties. For the Yawanawa, there is only one true Tsunu, setting it apart from other species identified as Tsunu by locals.

The local Moi Mapacho variety from the upper Jurua region boasts a beautiful flavor and is completely natural, cultivated without pesticides.
This region, located in the most western part of Brazil, near the Peruvian border, is known for its Jurua Extractive Reserve.
Traditional communities here, often called Caboclo, engage in sustainable practices such as rubber tapping , living harmoniously with the forest. They adhere to principles of taking only what they need and learning from indigenous practices.

The Moi Mapacho , used in this blend, is a rustica variety with a delightful flavor. It is gentle on the nose and offers a mild effect, making it a pleasant choice for those seeking a smoother, more refined experience.

More about Hapé …

Hapé, also known as rapé (pronounced ‘haa-pay’), is a sacred herbal snuff created by indigenous Amazonian tribes. It is applied by blowing the snuff into the nostrils using an applicator during prayer and meditation. This practice helps users connect with Mother Nature, cleanse the mind, purify thoughts, bring clarity, achieve spiritual alignment, and clear negativity from the body, mind, and soul.

Indigenous tribes have used Hapé for thousands of years to heal their communities and connect with the Creator. The preparation of this plant medicine is a labor-intensive process, involving the ceremonial use of various Amazonian medicinal plants, leaves, trees, and seeds.
