Have you ever had the famous "Caipi" at a party? Do you know which spirit is used to do the cocktail? And, have you wondered why it was tasting so, hm... peculiar?
That's not the cachaça's fault (the Brazilian spirit from sugarcane), but the quality of the cachaça you are drinking. Unfortunately, the majority (90%) of cachaça in Germany comes from industrial producers. This means the sugarcane plantation has to be fast harvested, and sometimes the fields might be burned down to speed the process. Plus, the distillation method is continuously processed, making all the high levels of alcohol end up in the bottle you drink from.
As Brazilians, we asked ourselves why there is no quality cachaça in Germany, and that's why we created Malandra: a traditional, handcrafted, sustainable and small-batch cachaça. We want to bring the best of Brazil to Germany, that's why we partnered with a small producer in Brazil and developed Malandra only for you. In the future, we also plan to help an organization for environment conservation in Brazil.
