Wild Papalote (cupreata)
One of our favorite agaves. The name means "coppery" and refers to s slight sourness like the taste you get when you put a penny in your mouth. It distills beautifully, and the coppery hint goes beautifully with cupreata's rich flavor. Compared to the usual sources, Michoacan and Guerrero, the Oaxacan Mixteca cupreata is a bit finer. Nicely feral.
Artisanal above ground roasting
This way you don't need a deep pit. You build a fire, in a shallow pit and cover the agaves with bagasso and a tarp, them mound up sand and logs for insulation
Traditional tahona
Here are fermentation tanks. Note the live fire under the copper pot still in the background
