Perfecta: Mijenta’s Meticulous Tequila

Ever wondered if your favorite spirit could actually do good for the planet and its people? Get ready to discover Mijenta Tequila, a brand that's not just crafting exceptional agave spirits, but is also a true champion of quality, tradition and sustainability. Their name, "Mi Gente" or "My People," perfectly encapsulates their mission: a collective effort to celebrate life while creating a positive, lasting impact.

At the heart of Mijenta's craft is Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero. With over 25 years of expertise, she's a renowned authority in the tequila world, meticulously overseeing every step of the creation process. This dedication to craftsmanship means Mijenta is proudly additive-free, letting the pure essence of the Blue Weber Agave from Jalisco's highlands shine through. They even leave 10% of their agave plants with their quiotes (flower stalks) to ensure genetic diversity — a true commitment to the land.

Mijenta's dedication to sustainability is just as impressive. They're the first tequila producer to earn B Corp certification, a testament to their rigorous environmental and social standards. From using agave waste for their labels and boxes to sourcing recycled glass for their bottles and supporting local Mexican businesses, every detail is thoughtfully considered.

Now, let's explore their exceptional range of expressions:

• Mijenta Blanco: This unaged tequila is a vibrant celebration of the agave. Expect a bright and aromatic profile with notes of cooked agave, cantaloupe and hints of vanilla and pepper. It's incredibly smooth, making it perfect for sipping neat or as the star of your favorite cocktail.
• Mijenta Reposado: Aged for six to eight months in a blend of American white oak, cherry, and acacia casks, this expression offers a beautifully rounded character. You'll find warm notes of cooked agave, vanilla, honey and subtle spices, leading to a long, generous finish.
• Mijenta Añejo: A true connoisseur's delight, the Añejo is aged for about 18 months in bespoke oak barrels. This longer aging brings forth deeper complexity, with rich notes of cacao nibs, butterscotch, dried fruits and a hint of coffee. It's a smooth, velvety experience meant for savoring and celebrating.
• Mijenta Cristalino: This intriguing expression takes the complexity of an aged tequila and presents it with crystal clarity. After aging in their unique "Symphony Barrels," the Añejo is filtered to remove color while retaining its rich flavors of coconut, vanilla, maple and cooked agave. It's the best of both worlds! 

Mijenta Tequila truly embodies the spirit of "Mi Gente" — a delicious journey that celebrates the land, the people, and the pure joy of a well-crafted spirit. Come by The Good Pour and discover your favorite expression today!
