A Comprehensive Tequila Tour 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 100 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 known 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 & time! Myth of the Worm There is a butterfly that, in its Larval or pupal stage, can live in the espadin, a Oaxacan agave. Long ago someone discovered that these Maguey worms were a delicious and nutritious food. To this very day people still eat them roasted or fried. One day, some manufacturer decided to insert a worm into the bottle. The idea was that a worm, as a living being, would devour any evil spirit hidden within the Mezcal! Its also been said that worms were placed in the bottle to measure alcohol content. When the worm died, the alcohol percentage was correct. There’s also the aphrodisiac or psychedelic attributes of the worm…that's probably just the Mezcal!

There are two fundamental types of tequila. Those designated 100% de agave and mixtos. From the two 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.
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 the wood.

So, replace them in your favorite drink. Compare their flavors in margaritas or preferably, sip them straight out of the glass…and enjoy.
