Curiosa is a female-owned and operated importing business owned by Paulina Tamayo. Paulina focuses on importing various art from Mexico. She mainly imports Mezcal or as she calls it drinkable art. She started her import business in 2019. Her educational background is in international education and imports.
Paulina has a passion for culture, altruism, and experience. Because of her curious nature and admiration for Hispanic heritage, she enjoys exploring and learning as much as she can about Mexican culture. As a little girl, her parents commented on how her curiosity drove her to learn more. When she would find something that interested her she would research as much as she could about the subject. She loved to learn and had to know everything about everything. So, it’s no surprise why her parents nicknamed her Curiosa. She travels throughout the streets of Mexico to build a closer connection with her ancestors. During these expeditions, she discovers artisanal treasures, spend time with the local artisans, and learn about the process behind their craft. It’s the unique process and history of the artisans that drives her enthusiasm to learn more. This is why she launched her import company, Curiosa. Her goal is to enrich others about the history of Mexican culture and hope that the stories are shared with friends while enjoying drinkable art.
