Caapi Cipó Rapé

About Caapi Cipó Rapé (Hapé)

This strong blend is among the most ceremonially resonant we offer. The Kuntanawa of Acre combine the bark of the Caapi Cipó vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) with the leaves of Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) — the two plants at the heart of traditional Ayahuasca ceremony, and a partnership that indigenous Amazonians have understood for generations as one of the great wonders of the plant world. The vine is a massive, reaching liana that winds around the tallest trees and climbs toward the sky — spoken of in Amazonian tradition as the guide, the one that opens the door. Chacruna is the light that pours through it: a feminine spirit in Amazonian cosmology, illuminating what the vine reveals. Together with organic tobacco from Kuntanawa tribal lands, they form a rapé whose ceremonial depth is immediately felt.

Practitioners return to this one consistently. It is grounding and deeply centering — "clears the playing field, my mind settles, and I feel rooted and grounded," as one long-term practitioner put it — yet warm and expansive at the same time. Reviewers note hints of chocolate or cinnamon in the aroma, and a warm, prolonged vibration through the body during meditation. Many use it daily: to return to center after demanding days, to deepen their practice, or to open space before ceremony. Others describe it supporting vivid, lucid dreams. A little goes a long way.

A note on this blend: Caapi Cipó rapé is a ceremonial nasal preparation — not a brew, and not psychoactive. The Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis are present for their traditional and botanical significance, valued in rapé form for grounding, centering and ceremonial depth rather than visionary experience. It contains no DMT or psychoactive alkaloids in active form.

This Caapi Cipó rapé is meticulously crafted by the Kuntanawa tribe of Acre, Brazil, for our customers.
