Tequila is NOT made from cactus. Tequila is made from Blue Weber Agave, and this is one of the biggest tequila myths out there.

If you’ve ever heard someone say tequila is made from cactus, this episode will give you the facts. We’ll cover: • What Blue Weber Agave actually is • How long agave takes to grow • Why it looks like a cactus (but isn’t) • How tequila is legally defined • What makes 100% agave tequila different Tequila can only be made in specific regions of Mexico, primarily Jalisco, and must be made from Blue Weber Agave to legally carry the name “tequila.” Understanding the plant helps you understand the spirit.
