The agaves are harvested at their peak maturity, ensuring that they offer the best flavors and sugars for fermentation.

JAJA Tequila is fermented using a combination of traditional and techniques. The fermentation process is carefully monitored to ensure optimal flavor development. The resulting fermented agave juice, known as mosto, is then distilled in copper pot stills to further refine the flavors.

The final product, JAJA Tequila, is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its makers. It exhibits a smooth and well-rounded flavor profile, with notes of sweet agave, citrus, and subtle hints of spice. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, JAJA Tequila is a delightful companion for any occasion.
