The process
Our hands grace every bottle of Lunazul
Tequila. From harvesting 100% Blue Weber
Agave to individually placing every
label, we take time crafting our Tequila so
you can
enjoy the true flavors of Mexico.

01
GROW
Grown in the rich, red clay of Jalisco,
our 100% Blue Weber agave plants are tended
to and cared for by Lunazul's team.

02
Harvest
We care for each agave as it matures. Once
ripe, our Jimadors hand-select each plant,
cut away the leaves, and reveal the piña:
the heart of the agave.

03
Roast
The agave piñas are slow cooked to produce
sugars that create the rich, clean flavors and
aroma of Lunazul Tequila.

04
Mill
Once roasted, the agave piñas are
shredded and rinsed, leaving only the
pure agave sugar, which is then prepared
for fermentation.

05
Ferment
The agave sugars are combined with our
proprietary yeast, a family strain used for
generations that comes directly from the agave
plants and soil on our estate. The yeast
consumes the sugars, converting the agave
syrup into a young tequila.

06
Distill
Our facilities are designed to focus on simple
techniques that consistently produce high-
quality tequilas. Each batch is distilled twice
in custom cognac stills, where our Master
Tequilero crafts each batch to create a smooth
and pure flavor.

07
Age
We use charred white oak Bourbon barrels
to age our Reposado, Añejo, and Cristalino
Tequilas for anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
This process imparts varying levels of
nuance and enhanced flavor that you can
appreciate in every sip.

Label
We finish every Lunazul bottle
the way it started: by hand. After bottling,
we carefully apply every label in order to
ensure that you can taste our passion and
commitment to quality in every glass.
