Official website
The story
The brand is described on its official site as the work of founder David Ravandi, with production and selection focused on agaves grown on certified organic farms. No clear founding date is provided on the official site.
Production philosophy
Focus on organic certification (USDA and EU cited by the producer), expression of agave terroir and sustainable packaging choices (hand-blown recycled glass bottles and labels printed with soy-based ink).
Territory
Amatitan, Jalisco (Mexico), in the traditional tequila-producing region.
Production method
Made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown on certified organic farms; commercial descriptions report cooking the piñas in stone ovens for about two days, natural fermentation (ambient yeasts) and double distillation in small-batch copper pot stills.
Distillation

Ageing
Aged expressions are finished in white/American oak barrels: reposado is reported with variable intervals (commercial sources indicate from at least 2 months up to about 6 months), while the añejo is described in some notes as resting in barrels for about 18 months.
