About Bashawa Rapé (Hapé)
Bashawa is worked with to balance, align and clear — the one the Katukina reach for to dispel heavy energies and gather the attention. This regular strength blend from the Katukina tribe of Acre, Brazil pairs tobacco from tribal lands with the ash of the tree the blend is named for, burned and sieved to a fine, even powder in the Katukina way: each blend built on the wood of its own tree.
Bashawa is the Guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliense), a tree of the flooded forest. It lives where the ground itself gives way — riverbanks, swamp margins, land that spends half the year underwater — standing with its roots in water that rots most other timber, and growing forty metres all the same. That is the character the ash brings to the blend: a tree that stays clear and sound in conditions that unsettle everything around it.
In the rapé traditions of Acre, guanandi ash is valued as steadying and cleansing — worked with to settle the field, release what is heavy, and hold a centred, even state. A companion for meditation, study, and concentrated spiritual practice: it clears the field first, then holds the attention where you place it. “One of my favorites,” as one verified reviewer puts it.

This Bashawa rapé comes to us directly from the Katukina tribe of Acre, Brazil — prepared in their villages, with tobacco from their own lands.

About Rapé (Hapé): Benefits & Safety
About Rapé (Hapé): Benefits & Safety
Rapé (hapé) is a traditional Amazonian preparation crafted from finely ground plants, botanicals, and tree ash, used ceremonially by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin across many generations.
Blends vary widely — most fall into three broad categories: Spirit & Ceremony, Grounding & Release, or Strength & Clarity — each reflecting the intentions of the tribe and maker. Traditional use is ceremonial, approached with clear intention and respect for the plants and the tradition.
Please approach this rapé with care and clear intention — best used in ceremony or with conscious purpose.
