| The ancient Aztecs considered the agave
plant a gift of the gods (so do we at Blue
Agave!). Apparently, so do a host of other
Americans. The United States leads the world
in tequila consumption, surpassing even Mexico
itself. At Blue Agave, we feature over 75
tequilas! Contrary to popular thought, tequila
is not made from cactus. It is made from agave,
a member of the Lily family and a plant also
know as Maguey in Mexico. Tequila comes from
five states in Mexico: Jalisco, Nayarit, Guanajuato,
Michoacan, and Tamaulipas. There are strict
production guidelines and officially demarcated
regions set by the Tequila Regulatory Council
of Mexico. |
| There are more than 400 agave varieties.
Only one type, however, is permitted in the
production of tequila. The Agave Tequilana
Weber or Blue Agave. Tequila is made from
the blue agave's fermented and distilled juice.
Each plant, or pina, can grow to as much as
150 pounds and take 8 to 12 years to reach
maturity…a true labor of love and time! |
| |
| |
| There are two fundamental types of tequila.
Those designated 100% de agave and mixtos.
Here at Blue Agave we serve only those fashioned
from 100% blue agave. From the basic clarifications
come three major types of tequila: |
| Blanco - (also called silver or plata) is
tequila as it comes from the still, aged no
longer than 60 days in metal tanks. This is
the purest flavor of agave and my personal
favorite. |
| |
| Reposado - ("rested") is where wood aging
begins. These tequilas must spend between
two months and one year in wood tanks or barrels. |
| |
| Anejo - is aged in oak barrels for at least
one year. Here, the herbal qualities of tequila
are meshed with the mellowing characteristics
of wood. |
| So, replace them in your favorite drink.
Compare their flavors in margaritas or preferably,
sip them straight out of the glass….. and
enjoy. |
