Maleza Bitters Licor Artesanal de Axiote Annato Liqueur NV 700ml

Refreshing and aromatic citrus fruits from Yucatán, such as lime and orange, are paired with the warmth of axiote (annatto seed), fresh ginger and a hint of habanero chili. Axiote/Annatto, the gold of Mesoamerican cultures, is food and condiment; it is medicine and ritual. Indispensable in many dishes from southeastern Mexico, the aromatic seed is related to rites to Xipe Totec, a deity associated with the fertility of the earth and rain. This charming spice is used as a pigment and, among other things, has many medical properties. It has anti-inflammatory powers, reduces oxidation and aging of cells, and helps with vision problems, bones, respiratory system, acid reflux/ gastritis, and burns — a true gem.
