What is Cachaça
Cachaça is one of the oldest spirits in the world and has been bringing friends and communities together since the 16th century. In Brazil, it is beloved by all, regardless of occupation or class. Pure cachaça is made from freshly- pressed sugar cane juice, fermented, and distilled using natural methods.
About Cãna
Cãna is an expression of togetherness. It is a blend of three unique cachaças, sourced from different regions of Brazil, each teeming with its own culture and traditions—a perfect synergy.
Cãna serves as a conduit, a tropical transportive experience to the rest of the world. Giving a new meaning to connection, to the feeling of belonging, to being one with nature. Remember, summer is everywhere.
The Process of Making Cãna
When making Cãna, our goal is to introduce the world to cachaça in the most natural way. When distilling, we repeat the process three times to ensure a balanced & refined taste. After it's processed, we add pure spring water from the nature reserves on our farm. Finally, we filter our cachaça through coconut husk charcoal to remove impurities and to add freshness in aroma and smoothness in taste.
HARVEST
To make CÃNA we use 100% Brazilian sugar cane, which is hand-cut and harvested once a year.

Founder Story
The creation of CÃNA begins, as most beautiful things do, with a longtime friendship. While living in New York, two Brazilians: the art director, Guilherme Junqueira, and the entrepreneur, Nick Walker, found themselves longing for home.
Embracing the Brazilian
emotion of saudade, a
nostalgia for a place or
happiness that once was, they
went searching for the classic
Brazilian spirit to share with
their American friends. What
they found was disappointing
and inspired the idea to bring
a high-quality cachaça to the
world.
The pair of friends returned to
Brazil to find a product they
would be proud to call
Brazilian. After a two-month
long road trip throughout
Brazil, they finally found what
they were looking for—the first
Cãna recipe and design. With
this they returned to New
York and began sharing it
with friends.
The taste of Cãna cachaça is a transportive experience. When you open the bottle, the warmth of summer, the freshness of tropical forests, and the depth of friendship will all flood your senses. This is what we call Brazilianship. The pursuit of the perpetual tropical summer.
