Apurinã rapé at Mycotrop

Awiry is the only blend in the shop sold under the name of the Apurinã. Its supplier reference RAAP01 matches the references RAAP01-10 and RAAP01-50 on the product page. The supplier offers further sizes; Mycotrop stocks 10 g and 50 g. Rapé is also written rapeh or hapé. As with every item in the shop, Awiry is sold strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

How Awiry differs from ash-rich blends

The supplier compares Awiry with rapé in general. The table sets out that comparison together with the product data.

Product	Apurinã Rapé – Awiry
Ingredients named by the supplier	Awiry leaves, plant-derived ash
Share of ash	about 8 %; the supplier puts most rapé at around 50 %
Tobacco	none used, according to the supplier
Nicotine	contained in the Awiry plant, according to the supplier
Colour	green powder
Pack sizes	10 g (RAAP01-10), 50 g (RAAP01-50)

In the supplier’s account, the green colour reflects the large proportion of raw leaf powder. Harvest takes place in the dry season; the leaves are then sun-dried and ground to a fine powder without fermentation.

What is known about the Awiry plant

Very little. The supplier writes that the botanical identity of Awiry has not yet been formally established in accessible scientific literature. For that reason this page gives no Latin name and does not link Awiry to any known species.

The Apurinã, as described by the supplier

According to the supplier, the Apurinã also call themselves Pupỹkary or Popukare. The supplier places their communities throughout the region of the Purus river in the Brazilian Amazon and assigns their language to the Arawakan family. It also says it deals with Apurinã families and elders without intermediaries. These details are the supplier’s own; Mycotrop has not checked them independently.

Tins, packaging and delivery

The supplier’s photo shows the blend in round metal tins with screw lids and a green printed label.
