Pai Pai Small Mezcaleros - Set of 2
A set of 2 small clay cups sized for sipping mezcal the traditional way: neat. Individually handmade in the Pai Pai community of northern Baja, México. We recommend drinking mezcal straight, which will allow you to experience the nuances in aroma and tasting notes of this special spirit. The mezcal will taste extra earthy and special when sipped from these tiny ancestral vessels. Designed and handmade by Daria Mariscal in a remote town of northern Baja. Daria harvests and processes local clay, and shapes each mezcalero by hand before burnishing, sun drying, and ground firing to finish (the smoke and flames create the beautiful marbled appearance). This pottery technique has been practiced by generations of Pai Pai members, an indigenous community in Baja pre-dating the Spanish settlement with currently less than 200 people. Daria speaks Pai Pai and Spanish. The clay is unglazed and porous; it will absorb liquid when in use and water when being washed. We recommend fully rinsing each
