Blue Agave

Blue Agave

Agave tequilana, also known as Blue Agave or the tequila agave, is a common member of the Agave genus native to Mexico. The popular alcoholic beverage tequila is made from a specific strain of Blue Agave known as “Weber’s Azul.” This is done by harvesting the heart of the plant, roasting and crushing it to retrieve the sugary nectar aguamiel, and then fermenting and distilling the aguamiel into tequila. Though in the wild it will produce a flowering stalk up to 16ft. in height, in a commercial environment this stalk is often cut off to focus more energy on the heart for a better yield when manufacturing tequila.
