The Tequilana Weber Blue Agave plant is the core and essence of Cabo Wabo Tequila. Rooted, according to legend, by falling stars, thus manifested the plants blue tint and its reach to the sky. Though it can be hastily exploited over its lifetime, the agave plant typically matures and is harvested by the wisest farmers between the ages of 8-12 years. Until then, it is respected, nourished, bronzed and guarded by growers holding it in the highest esteem. Upon its harvest, an agave plant gives birth to the next generation through its raizomas or roots extensions, which are planted on new, but equally sacred, ground. The heart of the plant travels to the factory on its journey to becoming Cabo Wabo Tequila. At the factory, stone steam-heated ovens cook the hearts.
