Agaveluz Tequila

What is AgaveLuz?

AgaveLuz is a premium organic tequila brand crafted for those who appreciate purity, sustainability, and high-end craftsmanship. Made with just two simple ingredients—organic blue agave and natural water, AgaveLuz is tequila the way it was meant to be: clean, smooth, and authentically Mexican. More than just a spirit, AgaveLuz is a commitment to quality, tradition, and eco-conscious production.

Who founded AgaveLuz?

AgaveLuz was founded by Pamela Maria De La Luz, a tequila industry expert with over 20 years of experience. She is known for her deep knowledge of authentic tequila-making, premium spirits, and organic craftsmanship. After decades in the industry, Pamela set out to create a tequila brand that values purity, sustainability, and quality over mass production.

Why was AgaveLuz created?

AgaveLuz was born from a desire to revive tequila’s authenticity. Founder Pamela Maria De La Luz witnessed the rise of mass-market tequilas filled with artificial additives, chemicals, and industrial shortcuts. Determined to bring back the natural essence of tequila, she created AgaveLuz—a tequila that stays true to its roots, made with pure organic ingredients and traditional craftsmanship.

Where is AgaveLuz made?

AgaveLuz is proudly crafted at Las Américas (NOM 1480) in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico—the heartland of tequila. This region is renowned for its rich volcanic soil, which imparts distinctive mineral qualities to the agave, enhancing the depth and complexity of the tequila’s flavor.

Every bottle of AgaveLuz begins with 100% organic blue agave, carefully cultivated under sustainable, chemical-free farming practices. These agave plants are nurtured for a minimum of seven years to reach full maturity, allowing them to develop the natural sugars essential for a smooth, well-balanced tequila.

At Las Américas, traditional tequila-making methods are preserved, ensuring that AgaveLuz maintains its commitment to purity, quality, and heritage. The piñas are slow-roasted in stone and brick ovens, a time-honored technique that caramelizes the natural sugars and enhances the tequila’s rich, complex character. Unlike mass-produced brands that rely on industrial autoclaves, this slow-roasting method allows for deeper agave expression in every sip.

Fermentation at Las Américas is natural and slow, using open-top stainless steel tanks to let native yeasts interact with the agave juice. This approach enhances the tequila’s nuanced flavors without the need for chemical accelerants. The tequila is then double-distilled in small batches using traditional pot stills with copper coils, refining the spirit while preserving its authentic Lowlands agave character.
Las Américas is more than just a distillery—it is a place where craftsmanship, sustainability, and Mexico’s deep-rooted tequila heritage come together. Every step of the process, from the hand-harvesting of agave to the final bottling, reflects a deep respect for the land and the artistry of true tequila-making.

AgaveLuz is not just made in Jalisco; it is made with Jalisco—its land, its people, and its traditions—all coming together to create an organic, small-batch tequila unlike any other.
