Did you know that tequila dates back to 1000 BC? During that time, indigenous Mexican tribes would grow and ferment agave. Tequila, as we know it today, wouldn't be produced until the mid-1600s.

International Tequila Day (July 24th), is the perfect occasion to delve into the world of mixology and discover new ways to enjoy this beloved liquor. The secret ingredient? You guessed it... premium CBD.

Understanding CBD and its Synergy with Tequila

CBD and tequila may seem like an unconventional combination, but they offer a fascinating intersection that goes beyond flavor and relaxation.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant, known for its potential therapeutic properties. It interacts with our body's endocannabinoid system, promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and aiding overall well-being.

Tequila, on the other hand, offers a distinct and diverse experience for aficionados. From the vibrant notes of agave to the rich flavors that develop during aging, tequila captivates our senses and transports us to the heart of Mexico's spirit.

When CBD and tequila combine, they create a cocktail that embraces the best of both worlds—a tranquil and refreshing experience for the senses. 

Tequila Terms

Get ready to be that jerk in the bar dropping “actually…” anytime someone orders a margarita. Why? Because you’re going to read this indispensable list of awesome tequila and tequila-related terminology. Vamos de fiesta! 

Mezcal (meh-skal): Tequila is the specific spirit made from blue agave in a distinct Mexican region (more on that later); Mezcal is the family of booze tequila belongs to and can be made from about 30 other species of agave.

PIÑA (pee-nyah): The piña is the “heart” of the agave. It’s what is harvested from the agave plant to make tequila.

PENCA (pehng-kah): The penca is the spiky leaf of the agave plant. These are shaved off by the jimador when harvesting.

JIMADOR (he-ma-door):The jimador is the worker who harvests the piña from the agave plant.   

COA (koh-ah): Not to be confused with a CBD COA, The coa is the tool with a sharp blade and a wooden handle that the jimadores use when harvesting ripe piñas.

QUIOTE (kee-oh-tay): The quiote is a flower stalk which grows from the center of the agave plant.
