This kuripe has a built-in 10ml reservoir for your rapé. Made by the Tete Pawã collective from bamboo and resin. Everything in one - no separate jars needed.
The Tete Pawã collective makes ceremonial tools in the higher Juruá region of the Brazilian Amazon. This kuripe is designed with a built-in reservoir that can hold 10ml of rapé. It's attached directly to the kuripe, usually on the side or top, depending on the specific design of that piece.
The reservoir has a cap or lid to keep the rapé dry. When you're going to use the kuripe, you open the lid, take some rapé and close the lid again. No more separate jars in your bag that can leak. The base is bamboo, the reservoir often made of bamboo or hardened resin. The Tete Pawã collective works with natural materials and traditional methods.
Features: Built-in 10ml powder reservoir. Made by Tete Pawã collective. Bamboo and resin construction. All-in-one design. Cap or lid for reservoir. Handmade with natural materials.
You've got everything together. Kuripe and rapé in one object, nothing you can forget. Handy when heading out or if you regularly change locations. The reservoir is large enough for multiple applications.
Rapé attracts moisture. The reservoir with lid keeps rapé drier than an open jar or pouch. Especially in humid environments, this makes a difference. The rapé stays powdery longer and clumps less quickly.
Fill the reservoir with rapé through the opening. Use the kuripe as usual. Rinse the kuripe tubes after use, but keep water away from the reservoir if it still contains rapé. Empty the reservoir regularly to clean and add fresh rapé. Dry all parts completely. Resin and bamboo are sensitive to extreme humidity, so store in a dry place.
The reservoir holds 10ml of rapé powder, sufficient for multiple sessions. The reservoir is attached directly to the kuripe and has a cap to keep the powder dry. You no longer need to carry separate jars — everything is in one instrument.
The Tete Pawã collective from the Juruá region of the Brazilian Amazon crafts these kuripes. They work with bamboo and hardened resin using traditional methods. Each piece is handmade and therefore unique in shape and detailing. Learn more about the artisanal traditions behind rapé instruments.
