Agave Cupreata
This wild agave Cupreata, known as Papalote or Ancho, grows wild below the deciduous forest and oak trees.
This agave takes between 7 and 10 years to reach maturity, and will takes approximately 14-17kg of agave to produce 1 liter of mezcal.
With much pride we sustainably harvest these wild magueyes.
