A modern Mexican soda with an origin story from the streets of Mexico, tepache combines pineapple, turbinado sugar, spices, and carbonated water to make a refreshingly delicious, lower sugar soda.

Yes and no. They’re both fermented and probiotic but Tepache contains less sugar and is naturally flavored. Tepache is made from pineapples, kombucha is made from tea. A byproduct of Tepache’s fermentation process is lactic acid (also found in yogurt) which is good for your gut. It has less acetic acid than kombucha, giving it a less funky flavor than kombucha.

Not at all. Our versions of Tepache are made with turbinado sugar, but most of the flavor comes from the other fruit elements that we add like fresh mango, apples, or oranges. Tepache is naturally flavorful and delicious. It’s also less than 40 calories a can. Win-win!

Our Chief of Fermentation, Rafael Martin Del Campo is a 3rd generation Tepache maker born and raised in Mexico City. The entire De La Calle team studied over fifty versions of Tepache to ensure the right balance of sweetness to tang. They wanted to craft recipes that harken to the traditional flavors of Tepache while bringing a fun modern twist that suits the American tongue.

We currently offer 5 different flavors that range from a more traditional Tepache taste profile, to something with more of a kick like our Picante chili mango flavor. We recommend trying them all, and even pairing them with tequila for a deliciously refreshing (and healthier) cocktail!
