Process & Production

Mijenta Blanco Tequila is produced using carefully selected 100% Blue Weber agave cultivated in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

The highland region is known for its distinctive growing conditions, including mineral-rich soils and an environment that supports the development of mature agave.

The production process begins with the harvesting of mature agave plants.

Once harvested, the long, pointed leaves are removed to expose the central hearts, known as piñas.

These agave hearts contain the carbohydrates that will eventually be converted into fermentable sugars.

The agave is cooked to transform its complex carbohydrates into sugars suitable for fermentation.

This cooking stage also develops the characteristic flavors of cooked agave that contribute to the finished tequila.

Following cooking, the agave is processed to extract its fermentable sugars.

Fermentation then converts these sugars into alcohol while contributing additional aromatic and flavor complexity.

Under the guidance of Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero, the production process emphasizes the preservation of natural agave character.

The fermented liquid is distilled to produce a clear tequila with a balance of cooked agave sweetness, citrus, herbs, and delicate floral characteristics.

As a Blanco tequila, Mijenta Blanco is bottled without oak barrel aging, allowing the flavors developed through agave cultivation, cooking, fermentation, and distillation to remain prominent.

The finished tequila is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).

Its additive-free production philosophy allows the natural character of Blue Weber agave to define the drinking experience without relying on added flavoring or sweetening agents.
