TIJUCA spirits have their origins in different farms (fazendas) in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in the heart of the Mata Atlântica, the Atlantic forest of Brazil.
Here, fresh sugarcanes are harvested by hand, giving us their natural juice so that the cachaças used in the composition of TIJUCA spirits can be distilled.
By tasting TIJUCA rum and cachaça, let yourself be immersed in our tropical and rural world.
AT THE ORIGIN ARE THE FAZENDAS
Between the mountains and the ocean, the dense and mysterious forest slips everywhere. Such is the magic of the Mata Atlântica.
The atmosphere is imbued with tropical scents, refreshed by mountain air and sea breeze.
There is no pollution in these isolated places where the calm is only disturbed by the rustling of the forest and the cries of birds, including that of our toucan.
It is in this natural and privileged setting, where the soils are particularly fertile, in the mountains or on the coastal plain, depending on the terroir, that sugar cane grows in abundance.
IN IMMERSION
When you visit our fazendas, your heart rate slows and your head clears. You are now halfway between the sea and the clouds, high enough to see the future, low enough to feel the past.
If you are lucky, you will be able to meet our mestres cachaceiros busy around their stills and their barrels.
They will be happy to show you their fazendas, nestled in the heart of unspoiled nature, and to reveal their ancestral traditions to you.
We created TIJUCA spirits to share with you the treasures of these women and men whose know-how gives life to the sublime cachaças that are at their origin.
