Description
Alma Tepec (“Soul Mountain”) is the first Mexican ancestral chile liqueur handmade from smoke-dried Pasilla Mixe chiles grown in the remote Sierra Mixe mountains of Oaxaca. Rich and savory notes of smoke-dried red fruits, chocolate, sweet spices and caramel followed by a warm lingering heat on the finish reveal the reason the rare Pasilla Mixe chiles are coveted by chefs around the world. Grown according to ancient tradition and custom, the chiles are rarely found outside of the region in which they are grown. Alma Tepec aims to deliver the flavors of Oaxaca’s ancestral chiles to consumers beyond the borders of Oaxaca while directly partnering with local producers at the source to preserve and revive the endangered ancestral chile varietals native to Oaxaca. Alma Tepec is a tool for creators, those that wish to adventure beyond traditional flavors, and for those that aim to revive old traditions to create new depths of flavor in mixed drinks.
