Cumaru: Huni Kuin rapé with cumaru wood ash
Cumaru is a rapé (also written rapeh or hapé) from the Huni Kuin range, named after the people also known as Kaxinawá. According to the supplier, Huni Kuin artisans in Acre, Brazil, burn the wood of the cumaru tree and blend the ash with tobacco. In the forest the tree is also called cumaru ferro ("iron cumaru"), a name the supplier links to the hardness and weight of its wood. Mycotrop lists Cumaru in 10 g and 50 g; both sizes hold the same blend.

The cumaru tree (Dipteryx odorata)
GBIF lists Dipteryx odorata as an accepted species of the legume family (Fabaceae); its seeds are known as tonka beans. Kew’s World Checklist of Vascular Plants gives its native range as northern and west-central Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela. The supplier states that only the ash of the wood goes into this rapé, not the bark or the seeds.
Cumaru elsewhere in the range
Cumaru is also sold as a separate product: the Brazilian Cumaru powdered bark ash in the Ashes category, which is made from the bark rather than the wood. Among the Huni Kuin blends, Uxi is likewise based on the ash of a single tree species, Endopleura uchi. All blends under the people’s name are listed in the Huni Kuin category.
Rapé: what is known
Rapé (also spelled hapé or rapeh) is the name for Amazonian snuffs, most often made of finely ground tobacco, usually Nicotiana rustica, mixed with bark ash or other plants. In Portuguese, rapé simply means snuff; the word comes from the French “râpé”, grated. There is no single recipe: the blend changes with the people, the region and the purpose, and tobacco-free rapés also exist.
Among several peoples of Acre, including the Huni Kuin, the Yawanawá and the Noke Koî (Katukina), rapé has a ritual role. It is blown into the nostrils with a tepi, a long pipe handled by another person, or with a kuripe, a V-shaped applicator used on one’s own.
| Known compounds | Nicotine, in very variable amounts: 0.6 to 4.8% in the rapés analysed by a US CDC laboratory. Alkaline ashes make the nicotine easier to absorb (Stanfill et al. 2015). |
|---|---|
| Reported effects | Brief burning in the nose, watering eyes, runny nose; dizziness, nausea and sometimes vomiting, which practitioners call a “purge”. Rapé is not psychedelic. |
| Traditional use | Shamanic and communal use among the Huni Kuin, Yawanawá and Noke Koî of Acre, often in ceremonies where ayahuasca is also present (ISA; Faria 2016). |
| State of research | Chemical analyses of commercial products, with no clinical study of rapé itself. Health data come from studies of smokeless tobacco. |
Good to know
- Rapés with tobacco contain nicotine, which is addictive and speeds up the heart; they are not suitable during pregnancy or for people with heart disease.
- The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies smokeless tobacco as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
- Nicotine is toxic to children and pets: keep rapé out of their reach.
- Do not share an applicator: traces of blood can remain on the tips.
Storing rapé
Keep rapé in a tightly closed container, dry, away from light and heat: the powder takes up moisture and clumps quickly.
