These models come from our friend Carlito in Brazil, a master at his craft. This style Tepi is one that should be in more collections due to the ease of blow and ability to administer different styles of blows. The angle of these allows for the perfect fit and not getting any powder left behind is a benefit. They are durable, sleek, strong and easy to fill. I keep a similar model in my medicine bag.
Small size: Approx 5.5"-6" (9" across)

This piece is made from sections of bamboo linked together adorning two beautiful Angola feathers, wrapped in black and white chord.
- Black and White Balance: These colors are frequently used to represent duality and equilibrium. The white stands for peace, unity, and harmony, while the black can represent groundedness, protection, or the absorption of negative energy.
- Ancestral Connection: In many traditions, the spotted black-and-white pattern of the Angola hen is associated with ancestral protection and warding off the "evil eye" or negative spirits.
- Functional Design: High-quality Tepi reinforced at connection points to ensure powerful, efficient airflow for serving medicine

Each piece is lovingly crafted by artisan Kupi HuniKui from hand-harvested bamboo — carefully carved with epoxy, then hand-painted with dedication and care.
This is an extremely lightweight piece.
Every kuripé and tepi carries the energy of the forest and Kupi’s heart prayers, created to accompany your sacred moments with harmony and good spirit. ✨🌿
Kupi HuniKui was born in a village along the Muru River, deep in the Amazon rainforest, among the Huni Kui people.
From a young age, he was guided by the songs, prayers, and mysteries of the forest, carrying within him the living heritage of his ancestors and the calling to become a man of medicine.
Today, Kupi dedicates himself fully to the path of art, study, and spiritual dietas, expressing his sacred connection through music, painting, sculpture, and the creation of ceremonial instruments such as tepis, maracás, and headdresses.
Each piece he makes is a prayer — a bridge between worlds, translating the voice of the forest into art and beauty.
On his journey of learning, Kupi has undergone various dietas and studies with different peoples and sacred medicines, including ibogaine, wachuma, ayahuasca, kambô, hapé, and tobacco, walking with discipline, courage, and devotion in each step of his training.
He is also committed to English studies and advanced therapies, preparing himself to represent his people internationally with truth, balance, and wisdom.
In this new phase of his path, Kupi is also pursuing studies in frequencies and electronic sounds, seeking to unite ancestral chants with modern sound technologies that can expand the medicine of music and vibrational healing.
Anyone who feels called to support his journey is welcome to contribute to his studies, travels, and formation — an offering that nurtures not only one man but the continuation of an ancient lineage of forest wisdom @hauxlove

These are our simple style double nosed Tepis in a smaller size.
A double nostril tepi is a specialized shamanic tool designed for the simultaneous administration of hape into both nostrils. It represents a deeper, more intense and balanced approach to shamanic cleansing, focusing on the harmonizing of polarities within each use.
- Balancing Polarities (Light and Shadow): The core spiritual significance of a double-nose application is to bring balance between light and shadow, and to harmonize the masculine and feminine energies within an individual.
- Balancing Ida and Pingala Nadis: In yogic and energetic traditions, the left nostril represents the Ida (moon/feminine) channel, and the right represents the Pingala (sun/masculine) channel. Using a double tepi treats both simultaneously to bring the body's energy channels into harmony.
- Deep Alignment and Centering: The intense, simultaneous blast helps to instantly clear the mind, center the spirit, and create a profound sense of grounding, often used to align the practitioner for deep meditation.
- Symbolism of "Eagle Medicine": Often crafted with specific materials, double tepis may symbolize the "eagle," representing higher vision, truth, and the ability to see beyond fear and limitation.
- Rapid Energetic Release: The double dose provides a stronger, more immediate release of emotional, physical, and mental blockages compared to a single-nostril application, facilitating a faster, deeper spiritual journey
These measure about 7" from nose tip to blow end.
This piece is made from sections of bamboo linked together and has a beautiful Peacock feather hung from it.

What Is a Tepi? The Sacred Two-Person Hapé Pipe
A tepi (also spelled tepí) is a traditional Amazonian ceremonial pipe used to administer hapé — a sacred, finely ground grandfather herb and botanical snuff — from one person to another. Unlike the kuripe (a self-administration pipe), the tepi requires a practitioner, or pajé, to blow the hapé directly into the recipient's nostrils with a single, intentional breath. This act of giving and receiving is not merely physical; it is a moment of energetic exchange, trust, and ceremony.
The tepi is one of the most important tools in Amazonian plant medicine traditions. Among the Katukina, Yawanapi, Huni Kuin, and other forest peoples of the Brazilian Amazon, the tepi has been used for generations as a vehicle for healing, grounding, and spiritual alignment.

Tepi Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a tepi and a karipe (kuripe)?
| Tepi | Kuripe | |
|---|---|---|
| Administration | Two-person (practitioner to recipient) | Self-administration |
| Shape | Long, straight — typically 20–35 cm | V-shaped or Y-shaped |
| Ceremonial Role | Shared ceremony, healing sessions | Personal practice |
| Also Called | Hapé pipe, rapé pipe, ceremonial pipe | Karipe, self-applicator |
Note: "karipe" is a regional spelling variant of "kuripe" — both refer to the self-administration pipe.
