Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you the story of El Hefe. He stands at the crossroads of flavor and destiny, poised to uncover the secrets of one of the most elusive recipes ever conceived.
An Aztec treasure, concealed for generations. The old man, whispering secrets, promising the world, with just one elusive ingredient left written on an old piece of paper, handed down from generation to generation...
As a parting gift, El Hefe's abuelo hands him a tattered piece of paper listing the ingredients for this game-changing, one-of-a-kind elixir. But the last, secret ingredient is to be passed down verbally by its guardian, and never written down.
But if only acquiring this recipe were that easy, because as Abuelo leans into El Hefe to whisper the final ingredient in his ear, he passes on to tierra de los muertos - The final ingredient a complete mystery to El Hefe and the world.
It wasn't until El Hefe, in a fit of frustration one evening, accidentally spilled a glass of tamarindo into the last of his passed-down Tamarico that he realized what the missing ingredient was.
Tamarico tastes like something strangely familiar to Hefe - Sweet, sour, spicy and delicious. That's it! Tamarico tastes like the Mexican candy from Hefe's childhood, but with a major kick! Bringing sweet memories of good times spent with his Abuelo, Hefe realizes that these buenas vibras must be shared with the world. El Hefe makes this his mission, and thus begins the next chapter of his life.
Trust me Chico, drink Tamarico.
