Jambu Cachaça, also known as "cachaça de jambu," is a type of cachaca infused with the jambu herb. Cachaça itself is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice, originating in Brazil and is similar to rum but with some distinct differences in production methods and taste.

Jambu, also known as "toothache plant" or "paracress," is an herb native to the Amazon rainforest region. It is known for its unique numbing and tingling sensation when consumed, attributed to the presence of spilanthol, an active compound found in the plant.

When added to cachaça, jambu imparts its distinctive tingling sensation to the spirit, creating a unique and flavorful experience. It's a popular choice among enthusiasts of Brazilian spirits and those looking to explore unique flavor profiles.

Finding Jambu Cachaça can prove challenging as it's not widely stocked in many stores, and when available, it tends to sell out quickly and can be pricey.

However, Du Pará, a restaurant located at 714 Asa Norte, specializes in cuisine from the state of Pará and features a small section at the back offering products from the region, including two varieties of Jambu Cachaça. Available in 500ml or 1L bottles, the cachaça is reasonably priced.

Whether you're keen on experiencing this unique drink yourself or seeking a distinctive gift for friends at home, head to Du Pará to secure your bottle.
