INTRODUCTION TO TEQUILA
Tequila is made from the agave plant, of which there are numerous varieties across Mexico and the world. Only one variety, the agave tequilana Weber azul, is used to make tequila. This noble plant is a member of the lily family and grows for 7 to 10 years under the hot Mexican sun before being harvested.
It is agave that gives tequila its unique flavour and its unique effect on the nervous system.
Tequila is a synthesis of the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican culture and Spanish culture. The Spaniards, upon arrival of what is now Mexico, found that the natives had an alcoholic beverage called pulque, about the strength of beer.
There are a number of requisites that must be satisfied before tequila can be certified. The agave variety used may only be the blue Weber tequiliana sort. The growing of the agaves and production of the tequila may only be done in a demarcated region, similar to the case of cognac. It must be distilled at least 2 times, and it must be produced under the strict supervision of the CRT – the Tequila Regulatory Council.
The History of the Agave
The agave plant’s uses can be dated as far back as 12,000 years ago where ancient Mesoamericans would use the fibres for construction material, clothing and tools. The sweet, milky juice from the agave – aguamiel – was fermented to make pulque. When the Spanish arrived, they brought with them the art of distillation. They took this art and applied it to the agave. This has evolved into what we know today as tequila.
