Handcrafted Bamboo Tepi for Ceremonial Use

A tepi is the traditional tool used for partner application of sacred plant blends. Unlike a kuripe (designed for self-application), the tepi is a longer pipe that allows one person to administer the blend to another. This plain tepi is crafted from natural materials and features a straightforward, unadorned design suited for regular ceremonial use. The length provides the distance needed for controlled, even delivery.

How Tepi Differs from Kuripe

Where a kuripe is a V-shaped pipe for directing one's own breath, a tepi is a straight, longer instrument. The person administering places one end at their mouth and the other at the recipient's nostril. This plain model is functional and durable, built to last through repeated use. The unadorned design makes it suitable for ceremonial settings where utility takes precedence over aesthetics, and the natural materials develop a unique patina over time.

For Ceremony Suppliers

Tepi applicators are essential tools alongside kuripe applicators for anyone working with sacred plant blends. Stocking both types ensures your ceremony-oriented customers find everything they need in one place. This plain model serves as a reliable entry-level option and is the most frequently reordered tepi in our range.

What is the difference between a tepi and a kuripe?
