The origin of tequila began with the Aztec populace making a fermented drink from the agave plant which they called octli (afterward and more commonly called pulque). This happened long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. After that, in the 16th century when the Spaniards arrived in Mexico, the Conquistadors brought the development of cleansing with them and the citizens of Tequila were rapid to locate it to good use. They were aware that the blue agave plant included sugars that might be fermented. As soon as the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their personal brandy, they started to condense this agave drink to make North America’s first native distilled strength.
By fermenting as well as distilling the sweet juice of the blue agave plant, they created liquor with a typical taste. For many years tequila was just consumed nearby and the majorities were sold approximately wholly at the distilleries. By the 90’s, it became rather trendy to taste tequila and its production soared. Novel brands were being introduced to a rising and discerning market. People started asking more authentic tequilas, mainly those made following artisan custom and Premium Tequilas created 100% with the juices of the blue agave plant.
With the beginning of the new millennium, more brands appeared in the market and tequila has become one of the highest three best seller liquors on the planet. Wide areas filled with blue agave plants were planted where it was not harvested before. Traveling in the western part of Mexico, there are striking rolling hills with pale blue agave that seem to last for miles. Owing to the high demand of tequila Mexico and the United States signed a union that allowed the sustained bulk introduce of this very product into the US.
