FAQ

Tijuca is a young company from Bordeaux.

It was created by a group of friends who are passionate about cachaça and Brazil.

It aims to develop a range of inventive spirits based on blends of cachaças.

We create innovative recipes.

We import cachaças from Brazil, aged in endemic wood.

We assemble them on site or in Cognac country.

We produce a white port barrel finish for our BBR rum.

We use premium and eco-responsible packaging.

Cachaça is a type of rum produced in Brazil.

Like agricultural rum, it comes from the direct distillation of surgar cane juice.

Tijuca produces blends of cachaças aged in different woods according to original recipes.

For its BBR rum, Tijuca deviates from the Brazilian definition of cachaça by the sweetness brought by the finish in white port barrels.

We carry out fermentation without adding any products.

We only do one distillation in a copper still.

We do not introduce any chemical additives into the recipe.

In keeping with the Brazilian cachaça tradition, TIJUCA spirits are not aged in the European sense of the term.

They are aged, for a few years at most, in different endemic wooden barrels.

It is these woods that give such a special appearance to our products.

Our BBR rum also benefits from a finish in white port barrels (French oak).

There is no tradition of Brazilian Rum.

The blending of cachaças is very unusual.

Our recipes are innovative.

With its finish in white port barrels, our BBR rum is unique.

Our next products will be even more innovative.

The toucan participates in the growth of the Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) by spreading seeds.

This tropical forest is one of the most threatened on the planet. It has lost 90% of its original area.

Man poses the greatest threat to toucans. He destroys their forest and hunts them.

TIJUCA works to safeguard the Mata Atlântica.

TIJUCA practices fair trade with its local producers: fair prices, sustainable agriculture, water management, reuse of waste.

TIJUCA avoids abundance in the use of resources necessary for the marketing of its products: low-mass and recyclable bottle, innovative policy of over-packaging.

Part of the turnover is donated to a local community to preserve the forest: A bottle sold represents a tree planted in the Mata Atlântica

An opened bottle of spirits will keep for a very long time under good conditions:

Stored vertically

Protected from light and humidity

Protected from extreme temperatures (Min 10° Max 20°)

Once the label is removed from the bottle, you have a carafe (BBR and TNW rums) available to you indefinitely.
