Tsunu Rapé is a traditional Amazonian botanical blend made using ash derived from the bark of the Tsunu tree, a key element in many indigenous plant-based preparations.

Within Amazonian traditions, Tsunu ash is widely used as a foundational component in Rapé blends, contributing to their structure and overall composition. Its presence reflects a deep understanding of plant materials and their roles within traditional preparation methods.

This Rapé (Hapé) incense blend is available to order within Europe. Each preparation is carefully sourced and offered in small batches, with a focus on authenticity, quality, and respectful handling.

Prepared using traditional techniques passed down through generations, Tsunu Rapé preserves both the botanical integrity of its ingredients and the cultural knowledge behind its preparation. The use of Tsunu reflects a long-standing relationship between indigenous communities and the forest, where each material is selected and prepared with attention to its origin and characteristics.

Due to its foundational role, Tsunu is often combined with other botanical elements, forming the basis of many traditional Rapé (Hapé) incense blends found across the Amazon. We collaborate with indigenous communities and local producers in the Amazon region, supporting traditional craftsmanship, fair exchange, and environmentally conscious harvesting practices.

We use simple paper zip bags to reduce waste and support the health of the planet. This minimalist packaging reflects our focus on quality over excessive branding and aligns with our commitment to mindful, sustainable resource use.
