This Tsunu rapé from the Huni Kuin tribe combines mapacho with ash from the Tsunu tree. Suitable for those seeking a solid, spiritually anchoring rapé. The characteristic dark color and earthy aroma define this blend known for its grounding and protective properties.
This Tsunu rapé contains ash from the Tsunu tree (Peltogyne), a hardwood species from the Amazon region. The Huni Kuin tribe has used this dark, nearly black ash for generations because of its powerful grounding properties. Mixed with mapacho (Nicotiana rustica), it creates a rapé with an earthy, woody aroma that directly connects you to the strength of the forest.
The Tsunu tree is known for its purple heartwood and grows slowly in the rainforest. When the bark is burned to ash and mixed with mapacho, it produces a rapé that literally puts you back on solid ground. Users report that Tsunu works especially well when you feel overwhelmed or too much in your head - it brings you back to your center.
The Huni Kuin, also known as Kaxinawá, live scattered across the border region between Brazil and Peru. Their knowledge of rapé making is passed down from father to son, from mother to daughter. This tribe is known for treating every plant with respect and only using material that has been harvested at the right time.

Glass vial with 10 grams of authentic Huni Kuin Tsunu rapé
The Tsunu tree (Peltogyne) is a slow-growing hardwood species from the Amazon region, recognizable by its purple heartwood. The Huni Kuin tribe burns its bark into a dark, nearly black ash with powerful grounding properties. Due to its slow growth, the tree concentrates valuable minerals and compounds in its bark, making the ash exceptionally potent. The Huni Kuin consider Tsunu one of their most important plant medicines and have used the ash for generations in their most trusted blends.

The Extra Forte contains a higher concentration of Tsunu ash than the regular version, resulting in stronger grounding and protective effects. Where regular Tsunu rapé works gently but noticeably, Extra Forte delivers more powerfully. You feel the anchoring faster and deeper, and the protective qualities are more pronounced. This version is therefore particularly suited for experienced users seeking more intensive grounding or working with situations requiring strong energetic protection.
Tsunu Extra Forte is remarkably versatile. Use it when you feel overwhelmed or too much in your head, as it brings you directly back to your centre. It also works excellently for meditation, spiritual sessions, or as a daily ritual for grounding and energetic protection. Many users describe the sensation as growing roots that reach deep into the earth. The effects last 1-3 hours and feel solid and stabilizing.
