The Agave Tequilana Weber Variedad Azul is the only one of the two hundred species of agave that exist in Mexico, which according to the rules of the Tequila Regulatory Council, its use is allowed in the production of Tequila, as long as it comes from the areas covered by the designation of origin.

The tequila agave began to grow naturally in the ravines of the Tequila, Jalisco area. The ancestral settlers found that by cooking it, mashing it and adding water, they obtained a glorious nectar that made them happy, which is why it was integrated into their festivals and rituals. Don Pedro Camarena, our great-great-grandfather, a landowner of great dynamism and vision, commissioned Enrique Hernández (a muleteer who transported agricultural products from his hacienda to the city of Guadalajara), to travel to Tequila on his trips and bring back baby agave plants.

The baby agave plants (hijuelos) are of amazing resistance, they do not only endured the journey of days before wilting or being planted, but they also easily adapt to the climatic conditions of the temperate lands, different from the warm areas where they originate from. Over the years, the agaves showed that the red soil of The Highlands of Jalisco, due to its mineral-rich contents, exceeded other agave plants of the Tequila region in sugars and size, which meant that Tequilas made with agaves planted in The Highlands of Jalisco, have better quality and flavor.
