Explore Blue Nectar
A sustainable tequila.
Blue Nectar is produced and distilled at Tequila Selecto de Amatitán (TSA) in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. TSA produces Blue Nectar using environmentally responsible and sustainable methods.
- When the agave plants are cultivated, the leaves (pencas) that are removed are ground and composted back into the land by tractor
- TSA uses well water for the fermentation and uses a combination of charcoal and reverse osmosis filtration for the final product
-
The byproduct of distillation, stillage (vinazas), is composted after cooling
The vinazas’ pH are neutralized (to 7 pH, same as water) and then mixed with bagasse (the shredded agave leftover after the juice/sugars are extracted)
This material is then composted in small quantities over large areas of the fields, which are adjacent to the distillery
- All other refuse, mostly paper and plastic, is picked up by the municipality for processing
