Tepache has a tropical, fruity, lightly sparkling, mildly sweet, and pleasantly tangy flavor profile made from naturally fermented pineapple. Our tepache is enhanced with ginger and turmeric, adding layers of earthy warmth, subtle spice, and depth. Many customers describe it as refreshing, smooth, lightly funky, and naturally complex with delicate caramel-like undertones from fermentation.

Because tepache is a living fermented beverage, its flavor and carbonation may naturally evolve over time. You may notice increased tartness, stronger fermentation character, natural fizz, or slight sediment from spices and fermentation.

These are normal characteristics of active fermentation and do not necessarily indicate spoilage. For the best drinking experience, keep refrigerated and open bottles slowly to release any natural pressure buildup.

Yes. Tepache is made from pineapple and other plant-based ingredients and contains no dairy. 

Yes. Tepache is a living fermented beverage that naturally contains active cultures and beneficial fermentation compounds produced during the fermentation process. 

Like many naturally fermented foods and beverages, tepache may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring alcohol produced during fermentation. The amount is typically very low and similar to what may naturally occur in other fermented foods.

Tepache contains active cultures that naturally continue developing even while refrigerated. As fermentation progresses, you may notice increased carbonation, pressure buildup, stronger tanginess, mild sediment, or changes in flavor.

These are normal characteristics of active fermentation and do not necessarily indicate spoilage when properly refrigerated.

If you're new to fermented beverages, we recommend starting with a small serving and gradually increasing your intake as your body adjusts. Individual tolerance may vary.

There is no strict rule. Tepache may be enjoyed with meals, as a refreshing afternoon beverage, after physical activity, or anytime you want a naturally fermented tropical drink. 

Upon receiving your tepache, allow it to chill in the refrigerator before opening. Temperature fluctuations during transit may temporarily increase fermentation activity, and chilling helps the beverage settle and return to its optimal flavor and carbonation.

Keep refrigerated at all times and store in the coldest part of your refrigerator.

Because tepache is naturally fermented and lightly carbonated, open bottles slowly and carefully to release any pressure that may have built up during storage.

For optimal flavor, carbonation, and quality, we recommend consuming tepache within 5–7 days while refrigerated. As a living fermented beverage, it may naturally become more tart and fizzy over time. 

Tepache is generally considered safe for children. However, we recommend introducing fermented beverages gradually and consulting your child's pediatrician before regular consumption, especially for younger children or those with dietary sensitivities or health concerns.
