1 A toddy tapper’s work is a labour of love, beginning in the early morning, often on the shoreline, when the air is still cool.
2 They ascend the coconut tree with skill and grace, deftly slicing the stem of its flowers and collecting the sap in a clay pot.
3 Like acrobats, they tightrope from tree to tree, their dance ending only when they have collected as much sap as they can carry.
4 A toddy tapper’s valiant efforts on between four to six trees will, eventually, bring one 700ml bottle of arrack.
5 Once in the distillery, we lovingly refine and nurture the coconut nectar, as we have done for decades, to bring you the world’s finest, purest arrack.
