50 FACTS ABOUT TEQUILA
All tequila is from Mexico.
It must be produced in two regions of Mexico:
All regions surrounding Tequila,
Or the region of Tepatitlan.
Tequila is made from the agave plant.
Pulque (agave), was thought to be a gift from the gods.
An agave farmer is called a campesino.
Agave is also known as maguey (muh-gay).
It is harvested by a person with special skills, called the jimador.
The jimador uses a sharp, paddle-shaped blade known as a coa.
He slashes off the leaves and reveals the pina.
The pinas are cooked with water.
The resulting mixture, aquamel, is used for fermenting.
Traditionally, a pot is used for the distillation of tequila.
Juices ferment for thirty to forty-eight hours.
Juices are distilled twice.
Tequila must be at least 51 percent agave.
Some tequilas are 100 percent agave (blue).
Agave are harvested when they are eight to twelve years old.
Tequila was first distilled near the city of Tequila.
The city of Tequila is in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
Tequila was first mass-produced in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Most tequilas are 70 to 110 proof.
Don Pedro Sanchez de Tagle was the first person to mass-produce tequila.
The first person granted a distiller license was Jose Cuervo in 1795.
In 1805, a distillery was established that would become Sauza.
There are five types of tequila:
Ora (gold), unaged tequila.
Blanco (white), not aged, freshly distilled.
Reposado (rested), aged a minimum of two months but less than a year in oak barrels.
Anejo (vintage), aged minimum one year but less than three years in oak barrels.
Extra anejo (extra aged), aged a minimum one to three years in oak barrels.
Extra Anejo is a brand-new type of tequila established in March 2006.
Aging changes the color of tequila.
The longer the aging, the darker the color.
Extra Anejo tends to be darker.
Sometimes caramel is used for color.
There are over one hundred distilleries in Mexico.
Over 2,100 brand names have been registered.
Tequileno is the name of a person trained in tequila production and history.
The worm is not in tequila.
The worm is in Mezcal.
“Con gusano” means “with worm.”
The reason for the worm in mezcal is to prove high proof.
The term tequila was first printed in English in 1849.
Tequila became popular in the United States during the sixties.

50 FACTS ABOUT TEQUILA
All tequila is from Mexico.
It must be produced in two regions of Mexico:
All regions surrounding Tequila,
Or the region of Tepatitlan.
Tequila is made from the agave plant.
Pulque (agave), was thought to be a gift from the gods.
An agave farmer is called a campesino.
Agave is also known as maguey (muh-gay).
It is harvested by a person with special skills, called the jimador.
The jimador uses a sharp, paddle-shaped blade known as a coa.
He slashes off the leaves and reveals the pina.
The pinas are cooked with water.
The resulting mixture, aquamel, is used for fermenting.
Traditionally, a pot is used for the distillation of tequila.
Juices ferment for thirty to forty-eight hours.
Juices are distilled twice.
Tequila must be at least 51 percent agave.
Some tequilas are 100 percent agave (blue).
Agave are harvested when they are eight to twelve years old.
Tequila was first distilled near the city of Tequila.
The city of Tequila is in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
Tequila was first mass-produced in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Most tequilas are 70 to 110 proof.
Don Pedro Sanchez de Tagle was the first person to mass-produce tequila.
The first person granted a distiller license was Jose Cuervo in 1795.
In 1805, a distillery was established that would become Sauza.
There are five types of tequila:
Ora (gold), unaged tequila.
Blanco (white), not aged, freshly distilled.
Reposado (rested), aged a minimum of two months but less than a year in oak barrels.
Anejo (vintage), aged minimum one year but less than three years in oak barrels.
Extra anejo (extra aged), aged a minimum one to three years in oak barrels.
Extra Anejo is a brand-new type of tequila established in March 2006.
Aging changes the color of tequila.
The longer the aging, the darker the color.
Extra Anejo tends to be darker. Sometimes caramel is used for color.
There are over one hundred distilleries in Mexico.
Over 2,100 brand names have been registered.
Tequileno is the name of a person trained in tequila production and history.
The worm is not in tequila.
The worm is in Mezcal. “Con gusano” means “with worm.”
The reason for the worm in mezcal is to prove high proof.
The term tequila was first printed in English in 1849.
Tequila became popular in the United States during the sixties.
The most popular tequila cocktail is the margarita.
The tequila shot is the second most popular way of drinking tequila.
The tequila shot is lemon, salt, and a shot of tequila. Lick the salt, drink the tequila, bite the lemon.
