Walk through the agave fields
Every expert knows that a nutrient-rich land and the perfect climate is not enough to cultivate the best quality agaves. It is necessary to treat the plantations with love and respect so that the fruits of this land can be exploited. In this sense, the jimadores or agave harvesters walk every morning through their plantations looking for any danger to the plants. Actually, there are those who even speak to them beautifully to make them grow big and strong.

The jima
After the walk and the conversation with the agaves, it's time to move on to the crop. Those who have grown enough are prepared to go straight to the factory where they will be transformed into delicious tequila. To do this, our friends, the jimadores, strip the agaves of their leaves and chop them into smaller pieces to go directly to the oven where they will be baked and turn as sweet as honey. Pay attention in your visit to the plantations, this is a scene you would not like to miss.
