Aya — the vine of souls
Rapé Aya – also called Caapi or Cipó – is a rare ceremonial blend from the Kuntanawa people, built on the ash of the finely ground vine Banisteriopsis caapi. In Amazonian tradition, this vine is known as the “vine of souls”.
Gentle and ethereal in character, it is traditionally associated with ceremony, inner vision and the heart – a blend for deep inner work and quiet reflection.

The botanical story
Banisteriopsis caapi
The base of the blend is ash from the finely ground Banisteriopsis caapi vine. Aya, Caapi and Cipó are all names for the same liana – “cipó” simply means vine in Portuguese.
The blend is handmade by the Kuntanawa people. It has a soft, pleasant aroma, often described as reminiscent of wine.

One of my absolute favorites. It relaxes me physically and helps me go deep—to understand the details of how and why I act. Becoming aware of the motives and intentions behind my actions helps me change my attitude toward myself. And that brings another layer of release. Sometimes I approach a ritual with a specific intention, but Aya brings me an insight into something completely different, which is ultimately much more important.
