Kapena starts with the finest 100% Agave Tequila. Select Blue Weber Agave Plants are harvested in the Los Altos (Highlands) region of Jalisco. Each agave plant takes 8-10 years to reach the perfect age. The Los Altos region is known for its rich soil and large agave plants. The temperatures in Los Altos drop considerably in the evening which requires the agave plants to take longer to reach maturity. We believe that quality is worth the wait. Our Select Blue Weber Agave Plants then go through the cooking, fermenting, and distilling process. Our expert distillers meticulously separate the heads and tails (lower quality tequila with unwanted aldehydes produced at the start and end of the distilling process) from the "heart" or highest quality tequila. The result is a mellow, smooth, and ultra-pure, 100% Agave Tequila worthy of the Kapena name.
