All the traditions and heritage of Mexico live in our agave plants (Agave means "in Greek"). The Tepeztate agave matures at 20 years for an optimal harvest, under extreme natural conditions. Tepeztate has thicker leaves, which contain part of the sugar. More fibrous than other types of Agave, the Tepeztate offers unparalleled organoleptic qualities. Their hearts or piñas are slowly cooked in pre-Hispanic volcanic stone pits for 3 to 4 days, under the mantle of their leaves. The agave juice is traditionally extracted by scraping the cooked piñas with a stone pulled by a mule called a Tahona. It is then fermented in oak vats and distilled twice in copper stills.
