CERTIFIED ORGANIC AGAVE

We craft Hermosa Organic Tequila the authentic, traditional way, just as Hermosa Tequila was first made nearly a century ago in 1939. Every bottle begins on our single estate in Amatitán, Jalisco, México, in the Los Valles region of Jalisco, nearly 5,000 feet above sea level, where rust-colored, mineral-rich volcanic soil nourishes our USDA Certified Organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agave.

Our third-generation, family-owned estate is cultivated using eco-friendly, sustainable farming practices that protect and preserve the land for future generations. Each agave takes 10–12 years to reach peak maturity before being hand-harvested by skilled jimadors, who determine the ideal harvest based on the agave’s sugar content. Using a traditional tool called a coa, they carefully remove the leaves, which are returned to the fields as compost, leaving only the heart of the agave, known as the piña.

Each 100–150-pound piña is then transported to our third-generation, family-owned distillery, Tequila Las Américas, NOM 1480, where the authentic tradition of crafting Hermosa Organic Tequila continues.

ARTISANAL DISTILLATION IN SMALL BATCHES

The piñas are hand-cut with an hacha into halves and quarters before being slowly steam-cooked for 48 hours in our traditional stone ovens (hornos). The piñas are then naturally cooled for over 24 hours, allowing the starches to convert into fermentable sugars. Once cooked, the piñas are crushed with a traditional trapiche, separating the fibers from the sweet aguamiel (honey water). Fermentation takes place naturally in open-air tanks, where wild airborne yeast from the surrounding terroir develops the tequila’s distinctive character. No commercial yeast is ever added.

Hermosa Organic Tequila is then double-distilled in small stainless steel and copper alembic stills to preserve its purity while capturing the delicate character of the agave. We proof our tequila using deep well water that has been naturally filtered through 400 feet of mineral-rich volcanic soil.

Only two ingredients go into every bottle of Hermosa Organic Tequila: USDA Certified Organic Tequilana Weber Blue Agave and deep well water naturally filtered through 400 feet of mineral-rich volcanic soil. No additives. No glycerin. No caramel coloring. No vanilla. No flavor enhancers.

BARREL AGING

Our Reposado, Añejo, and Extra Añejo are aged in 200-liter/53 gallon American white-oak bourbon barrels. The climate and aging allows the tequila to breathe in and out of the wood, developing layers of honeyed oak, spice, caramel, and warm wood tones. Each barrel is monitored and tasted often to ensure perfection before bottling.

Hermosa Organic Tequila is a true farm-to-bottle spirit, following strict USDA and Bioagricert certified organic standards. Less than 5% of tequila meets these standards some say due to added time, costs, inspections… We use no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, synthetic fertilizers, or artificial enhancements. From planting to pour, our process spans more than a decade.

Hermosa Organic Tequila tastes the way tequila was meant to taste: pure, timeless, and true. Every choice is traditional, every step authentic, and every detail a way to honor the tequila.
