Details
Queen of the Forest is a heart-centered and spiritually clarifying Hapé blend crafted by the Huni Kuin people of Acre, Brazil. This potent blend carries the nurturing and uplifting qualities of feminine forest energy. It’s known for gently clearing stagnant thoughts, brightening the mood, and opening the energetic pathways of the heart and mind. With its smooth strength and spiritually invigorating effect, it offers a well-balanced experience of grounding, clarity, and uplift.

When to work with it
This Hapé is ideal for use in emotionally heavy moments, spiritual preparation, or when a boost of clarity and connection is needed. It can be worked with before meditation, prayer, or creative focus to quiet mental chatter and deepen awareness. Many find it effective during stressful times or when feeling weighed down, as it invites lightness, joy, and a deeper connection to inner peace. It’s a beautiful ally for heart-centered practices and reflective spiritual work.

Sacred ingredients
Queen of the Forest is made with a base of strong Amazonian Mapacho tobacco combined with the ashes of sacred wood—often Cumaru or Samaúma—each known for their clarity-enhancing and spiritually protective properties. Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) is frequently included in this blend, bringing a feminine, heart-opening quality. Though not psychoactive in this form, Chacruna is energetically associated with vision, presence, and the spiritual light of the forest.

Craft & tradition
This blend is hand-prepared in small batches by Huni Kuin artisans using ancestral methods. The leaves and bark are sustainably harvested from the rainforest, sun-dried, and processed with reverence and prayer. The entire preparation is treated as a sacred act, with songs, blessings, and intention woven into the medicine. Each batch reflects the lineage and care of its maker, offering a bridge between the spirit of the forest and those who work with this medicine respectfully.

Huni Kuin perspective
To the Huni Kuin, Queen of the Forest represents the feminine guardian spirit of the rainforest—a force of balance, compassion, and clarity. The Samaúma tree, often linked with this blend, is revered as the “mother of all trees,” holding a special place in tribal cosmology. This Hapé is used to invoke spiritual protection, emotional resilience, and visionary connection. It is respected for its ability to open the heart and clear the mind while aligning one’s energy with the wisdom and beauty of the forest.
