Tobacco-related products

Hapé (also known as rapé) is a sacred ancestral medicine, a finely ground snuff crafted from Amazonian plants, most often featuring Nicotiana rustica — a potent, sacred Brazilian tobacco. For countless generations, Indigenous peoples such as the Huni Kuin and Yawanawá have carried and transmitted this sacred wisdom. Far from a recreational substance, hapé is a powerful spiritual ally, traditionally used in ceremony for grounding, inner clarity, energetic cleansing, and deep connection to Spirit, Nature, and the wisdom within.

Legality

The sale and possession of hapé are legally permitted in many countries, including the United States, where it is generally classified as a non-recreational tobacco product. However, legal classifications and regulations may vary significantly by country, state, or local jurisdiction. Customers are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the applicable laws and regulations in their respective locations prior to making a purchase.

Our hapé products are intended strictly for adults aged 21 and over. By placing an order through our store, you affirm that you meet the minimum legal age requirement applicable in your jurisdiction.
