Tepache Sazon ‘Pina Y Canela’

Transport yourself to the coast of Mexico with Tepache Sazón ‘Piña y Canela’, a vibrant fermented beverage that masterfully balances tropical zest and warming spice. Crafted in San Pancho, Nayarit, this brew is born from a tradition that uses locally grown honey pineapples, Ceylon cinnamon (known as canela), and piloncillo, a whole cane sugar that imparts richness without processed sweetness. The result is something special: a drink with real character, steeped in heritage and full of flavor.

What makes ‘Piña y Canela’ stand out is its texture and taste journey. First, lush, ripe pineapple aroma greets you, think honeyed fruit just under sunshine, with citrus-bright notes rising up. Then the canela enters: subtle, warm, aromatic, reminiscent of baking spices but never overpowering. As you sip, a gentle effervescence carries the flavor, mixing the juicy tang of pineapple, a light tartness, and the mellow sweetness of piloncillo. The cinnamon lingers on the palate, giving depth and warmth, and the finish is clean, slightly dry, and satisfying.

At 7% ABV, this tepache gives just enough kick to be considered an adult refreshment, while still feeling light when served cold. It’s naturally gluten-free, does not rely on artificial flavors or additives, and celebrates raw, unrefined components. Its fermentation process includes a secondary stage in Charmat-style tanks to build that sparkle and texture. 

Styling suggestions? Serve it ice-cold to highlight its effervescent nature. Pair with tacos al pastor, fresh ceviche, grilled seafood, or spicy wings where its sweetness and acidity can cut through richness. It also makes for excellent base in cocktails: blend with a splash of mezcal for smoky contrast, or top with sparkling water and lime for an easy spritz twist.

If you love beverages that tell a story, that spark conversation, or just something deliciously different from the usual, Tepache Sazón ‘Piña y Canela’ is your ticket. It’s more than a drink, it’s an invitation to taste tradition with every sip.
