Frequently Asked Questions

What does "tahona-crushed" mean?

A tahona is a large volcanic stone wheel, traditionally pulled by a tractor or mule, used to crush cooked agave piñas into juice and fiber together. It's a slower, more labor-intensive alternative to the roller mills and diffusers most modern tequila producers use.

Does the tahona method affect how a tequila should be enjoyed?

Tahona-crushed tequilas are often full-bodied enough to sip neat, letting the extra texture and earthiness from the stone crush come through, while still working well in cocktails that call for a more traditional, robust tequila.

What does tahona-crushed tequila taste like?

Because the stone wheel crushes agave fiber and juice together rather than separating them mechanically, tahona-crushed tequilas tend to have a fuller body and more earthy, rustic agave flavor compared to tequilas made with modern shredding equipment.
