Tepache is a fermented pineapple beverage with pre-Columbian roots — a street-cart staple across Mexico, made from pineapple, piloncillo, and spices and consumed with live cultures like kombucha. Tepache Sazón brings that tradition into a bottle, produced in San Pancho, Nayarit on Mexico's Pacific coast from hand-harvested piña miel, a honey-variety pineapple prized for its balance of sweetness and acidity.
The process borrows from Charmat-method sparkling wine: primary fermentation with champagne yeast in stainless steel, then secondary fermentation with fresh pineapple juice, artisan piloncillo, and Ceylon cinnamon — the softer, more aromatic canela of Mexican cuisine, not the cassia cinnamon common in the US. Flash pasteurized for stability. At 7% ABV.
PAIRINGS :
| Fish tacos | tartness and effervescence cut through battered fish; the cinnamon note bridges the salsa |
| Al pastor tacos | pineapple-on-pineapple harmony; bubbles lift the achiote-pork marinade |
| Spicy ceviche | tropical fruit and acidity mirror the citrus; carbonation cools the chile heat |
