The name Tiê is a tribute to the bird that is considered the symbol of the Atlantic Forest and one of the most spectacular birds in the world due to its reddish plumage. Cachaça Tiê was born in Aiuruoca, in the south of Minas Gerais, on the edge of the Circuito das Águas. It is part of the Terras Altas da Mantiqueira Circuit, the Serra do Papagaio and Serra da Mantiqueira State Park, being considered one of the best cities for Ecotourism and with a great tradition in the artisanal production of cachaça. Its production is artisanal and aligns traditional methods with the good manufacturing practices necessary to guarantee high quality, with a lightly perfumed flavor and aroma. From planting sugar cane to bottling the drink, Cachaça Tiê undergoes rigorous quality control. The cutting of the plant is done manually, without the use of fire, preventing undesirable components from appearing during fermentation, carried out in stainless steel vats with special yeast and for a controlled time. The fermented must, the result of the previous stage, is placed in a copper still to obtain the final product. Of the total distillate, only the heart is stored in stainless steel and oak barrels and is transformed into Tiê Ouro or Tiê Prata. Cachaça Tiê Carvalho 700ml is a drink stored for three years in oak barrels to reach the perfect point of maturation. The cachaça has a soft golden color, aromas redolent of caramel, smooth flavors and velvety texture. Robust, it has an alcohol content of 42%. Source: Cachaçaria Nacional.
