  • Chava knows the real story

    Chava is the real deal when it comes to agave spirits. He literally designs the combustion systems that make agave distillates possible. Turn on your listening ears, people. It’s time to get schooled.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Querido Aguacate ~ Spanish Spoken / Hablado en Español ~
Q: ¿Qué hace que la franja aguacatera sea tan especial para el cultivo del aguacate?
La combinación de suelo fértil, clima templado y presencia histórica de cenizas volcánicas crea un entorno único que favorece el desarrollo de frutos sabrosos y de alta calidad, algo que Antonio describe como una especie de 'zona de confort' para el aguacate.
From Bleak to Lush Pt 2
Q: Can you summarize the core philosophy behind your 'plant, feed, ferment, and forest' approach?
The philosophy centers on regenerative systems where agave acts as a keystone species to capture water, feed cattle with on-site resources, ferment with locally sourced penca, and progressively reforest the land toward a thriving ecosystem.
Flavour Hunting
Q: Can you share what markers you look for when someone invites you to their farm, and how you gauge future potential before tasting the final product?
I look for the producer's attention to processing, drying, and varietal choices, plus evidence of a clear strategy and willingness to share their methods; these signals, combined with a microclimate profile and first-hand impressions, help me predict where a coffee might land in quality after city roasting and QC.
