Double Mahogany Tepi | Caobo Snuff Applicator | Rapé Applicator Tepi | Rapé Blowpipe

These Rapé Double Mahogany Tepi ‘s are handmade by our friend Maximiliano who lives in the Andean mountains of Ecuador based on our design. Double Mahogany Tepi ‘s are a new design that we made together with our friend based on a design that we have come across in Brazil among several tribes we visited. The double mahogany tepi with double exit allows you to load the tepi only once and give the full force of the rapé to the recipient in one go.

We have been working with Maximiliano for over 3 years and have visited his workshop several times. He is very passionate about his work and we love supporting his family business.

Made of Mahogany which is a kind of wood, with straight-grained appearance, reddish-brown timber of three tropical hardwood species of the genus Swietenia. It is indigenous to the Americas and part of the pantropical chinaberry family, Meliaceae.

Kuripe or Tepi

Traditionally, it is administered through either the Tepi or Kuripe. The Kuripe is a for self-administration and the Tepi is used when blowing the snuff for another person. The V-shaped applicator or Kuripe, connects the nostril to the mouth. The Tepi is a long blow pipe that connects the nostril of the receiver with the mouth of the blower, who then blows the rapé into the nose of the receiver.

Opening the Chakras

In general, the tribes believe Rapé facilitates the opening and clearing of the chakras, facilitates a sense of grounding and connection to the earth. Some think it supports the release of disease from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Furthermore some say that using rapé opens the third-eye chakra, decalcifies the pineal gland, clears mental fog and confusion. Finally it releases negative thought patterns and most of all it supports our connection to the breath and expands our connection to Spirit.
