In the tradition and know-how of the village of Tarasco is produced this artisanal sugarcane Charanda, which contains Cordyceps mushrooms, the same ones that generate a feeling of well-being, energy and vitality. Cordyceps mushrooms have been considered for thousands of years to promote longevity and higher energy levels. According to the beliefs of ancient cultures, this mushroom promoted balance between body and soul. These mushrooms are widely used in Mexico for "medicinal purposes". The cane juice is distilled twice in copper pot-stills and then left to rest in ex-bourbon barrels for at least 24 months. Then mushrooms are added and left for about three months, then bottled.

Casa Tarasco

Casa Tarasco, Uruapan Charanda, a family tradition since 1907. The Pacheco family has been producing Charanda in the city of Uruapan in the state of Michoacán, Mexico for more than 113 years. The ‘Uruapan’ brand takes its name from the hometown of the Pacheco family, which has a long history in the region. However, the family’s involvement with distillation goes back even further. In 1908, Don Cleofas Murgia decided to switch from mezcal production to distilling sugar cane, as mezcal was not particularly popular and sugar cane distillates offered more profitable, visible activities. Miriam Pacheco now runs the family company, continuing the tradition of Charanda production. The Pachecos’ desire to protect and preserve the local tradition of sugar cane distillation was highlighted in 2003, when the family secured the creation of a D.O. (an appellation of origin) protecting all Charanda producers.
