Mezonte Tepe

Description

Despite its name, Mezonte Tepe is NOT made with maguey Tepextate. Instead this gets its name from the Tepehuano community where it’s produced, at the border of Jalisco, Nayarit, and Durango. This reclusive community insists on isolation from western culture ​and the specific location of this distiller is somewhat mysterious. Mezonte is a nonprofit organization that promotes, supports, and preserves the production and practices of traditional agave spirits. Mezonte’s main objective is to create awareness of the cultural and biological value that these spirits represent.
