Abelha is a premium Brazilian spirits brand best known for its organic cachaca, handcrafted production methods, and deep commitment to sustainability, fair trade, and environmental responsibility. Founded in Brazil in 2013, Abelha (Portuguese for "bee") takes its name from the vital pollinator that symbolises biodiversity, balance, and ecological stewardship - values that sit at the very heart of the brand. Positioned at the intersection of traditional Brazilian craft and modern ethical production, Abelha has quickly become one of the most respected names in premium cachaça, appealing to bartenders, cocktail lovers, eco-conscious consumers, and spirits enthusiasts around the world.
Abelha was created with a clear mission: to produce a high-quality, organic cachaça that honours Brazil’s heritage while supporting small-scale farmers, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable business practices. Cachaca, Brazil’s national spirit, is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and is the essential base of the world-famous Caipirinha. While many large-scale producers rely on industrial methods, Abelha focuses on small-batch, artisanal production, working closely with family-run sugarcane farms to ensure ethical sourcing and exceptional quality.
It represents a new generation of spirits brands - authentic, transparent, environmentally responsible, and rooted in local tradition. By elevating cachaça to premium global status while protecting the ecosystems and communities behind it, Abelha has carved out a distinctive identity in both Brazilian culture and the international spirits scene.
It is not just a cachaca brand - it is a symbol of craft, conscience, and modern Brazilian excellence.
