In Aztec mythology, there’s a folk story called ‘Centzon Tōtōchtin’ meaning ‘four-hundred rabbits’. It tells of Mayhuel (the goddess of the agave plant) and Patecatl (the god who discovered the fermentation process) whose union produced the eponymous bunnies. These mischievous offspring liked to get together for good times and drunken parties. Mijenta Tequila was inspired by the tale of these rabbits and Mexico’s colourful heritage. Obviously they’re not suggesting we all become little drunken bunnies, everything in moderation, but their delicious spirit certainly provides social lubrication at parties. Maybe it makes the people ‘hoppy’.
The Cristalino expression uses vegan charcoal in the proprietary filtration method to remove colour while preserving the depth of flavours and aroma. And with 90% of the barrel-aged tequila filtered and married with 10% unfiltered tequila, the result is an aged spirit with mellowed tannins and deep aromatics showing an incredibly complex and smooth nature. We love the notes of cinnamon, ginger, roasted agave and eucalyptus along with wafts of minerality and after taking that first sip, you’re hit with the revelation of mint, caramel, liquorice, umami and vanilla. This tequila shines through in place of gin in a classic dry martini or use to gain a full culinary experience and pair with fish, ceviche's, tarts or spice desserts or a creamy indulgent crème brulee.
The Mijenta Tequila brand was built on a desire to protect Mexican heritage and preserve the environment. That’s where co-founder Elise Som, a sustainable designer and environmental consultant, comes in. Ana Maria Romero Mena, Maestra Tequilera of Mijenta Tequila, takes care of making sure it tastes good and Elise Som makes sure it does good. So, they take great care of the land where the agave grows, arrange beach clean ups help to protect whales in Guerrero, and have even created a community foundation to promote and protect the ancestral skills that go into Tequila making. On top of all that, they make their labels from agave waste and reclaimed burlap coffee bags and their eco-certified packaging is all locally produced. That’s why we say “Mijenta por la gente.”
