Description

Organic sugarcane is hand-harvested from the laderas (hillsides) above the palenque (distillery), from altitudes that range from 700 to 1200 meters (2,300 – 3,900 feet) above sea level. The harvested cane is transported by horse, donkey or mule to the trapiche to be milled that day.
Batches distilled from low-altitude cane are harvested between 700 and 900 meters. Batches distilled from cane higher than 900 meters are from lower-yielding cane. Check your batch number: CA (Caña Alta) batches are from 900m – 1200m altitude, batches CB (Caña Baja) batches are from 700 – 900 meters above sea level.
