Blend Profile:

Yawanawa Tsunu Classic – A Foundational Blend That Traveled Far

More than just a hapé, Yawanawa Tsunu Classic is a piece of history. Among the first blends carried beyond the forest, it found its way into the world through travelers returning from Ayahuasca ceremonies and Yawanawa festivals—often shared in reused soda bottles long before hapé reached online shops.

Back then, few blends were known. Names like Tsunu, Força, and Meditação were spoken with reverence, and this particular blend helped shape that early chapter. Formerly labeled "Yawanawa Grey," we now honor it as Yawanawa Tsunu Classic, recognizing its deep roots and enduring legacy. It remains a bridge between worlds—simple, direct, and steeped in Yawanawa tradition.

This traditional blend combines Tsunu ashes with Moi, a sacred plant central to Yawanawa ceremonial life. The effect is sharp and clearing at first, then settles into a state of grounded alertness. Many describe the onset as intense but the afterglow as smooth, calming, and energizing. Deep breaths follow and eyes may water as the medicine moves through cleanly, leaving behind clarity and presence.

“Tsunu” is a widely used term in Amazonian hapé preparations. Among the Yawanawa, it typically refers to Pau Pereira (Platycyamus regnellii), though other tribes may use the name for different trees. What unites these ashes is not a fixed species, but a lineage of purpose.

Pau Pereira’s thick bark holds strong spiritual properties. Its ashes are known to cleanse, protect, and stabilize the energetic field—often used to prepare for deep spiritual work or release emotional weight. In this blend, Tsunu provides the structure and clarity, while Moi anchors the experience in grounded stillness.

We also offer a second Yawanawa Tsunu blend from a different source, with subtle differences in texture and energetic expression. But Tsunu Classic is the one that started it all—valued for its historical significance, smooth finish, and luminous clarity.

About Tribe

Exploring the Yawanawa Tribe....

ExploringtheYawanawaTribe....">

Situated along the picturesque Gregoria River, nestled between Peru and Bolivia, and not far from Acre, is the Yawanawa tribe. Their language is part of the diverse Pano linguistic family, native to Western Amazonia. The tribe's economy heavily relies on hunting and fishing, especially during adverse weather conditions when these activities become crucial for their sustenance.

Intertribal Relations and Historical Development

The Yawanawá, known as 'the people of the wild boar', share their lands harmoniously with the neighboring Katukina tribe. Marriages between members of the two tribes, as well as alliances with foreign groups, are common and date back to the colonial era. Initially, these alliances were formed around the exploitation of resources like caoutchouc. However, modern alliances are more focused on sustainable practices that support the cultural and economic stability of these tribes.

Shamanic Beliefs and Practices

Shamanism is deeply rooted in Yawanawa culture. The journey to becoming a shaman is rigorous, involving numerous tasks and trials, such as the daunting task of extracting the heart of an anaconda or facing a swarm of bees. Candidates must adhere to strict dietary restrictions, avoiding meat, fruits, and sweets, and focus solely on traditional medicine for a year. Hallucinogenic plants, including ayahuasca, pepper, datura, Hapé, and Rustica juices, play a significant role in their initiation ceremonies.

The "rare muca" plant is revered as the most sacred among the Yawanawa. Its root is consumed only during special ceremonies, primarily by men embarking on the path to become warriors or healers. These initiation rituals are marked by unique incantations, the use of smudging herbs, and the recitation of prayers.

Hapé Tradition

Historically, the Yawanawa tribe adopted the use of Hapé following the passing of a revered healer. This sacrament is believed to cure ailments of the mind, psyche, and body, facilitating a deeper spiritual connection and enabling astral travel. The Yawanawa's Hapé, known as “Rume”, is a distinctive blend, primarily composed of Txunú tree bark ash and a strong Rustica, similar to mapacho.

The Txunú tree bark, known for its healing properties, is often used in Amazonian tribes, particularly in ayahuasca ceremonies. It enhances the ceremonial experience, easing symptoms like vomiting and aiding in spiritual cleansing. Initially, only male tribe members and the pajé, or medicine man, were permitted to use Hapé. However, this changed with the initiation of Hushahu Yawanawá, the tribe’s first female shaman. Her leadership and expertise in creating Hapé have earned her national recognition and inspired other women to pursue shamanism.

Today, Hushahu is one of the Yawanawá's most esteemed spiritual leaders, known for her exceptional Hapé snuff. Her contributions have not only enriched the tribe's shamanic traditions but have also played a pivotal role in advancing the status of women within the tribe and beyond.
