ORIGIN

From the náhuatl coyōtl

Co = place

NOBLE

AGAVE from the greek Αγαυή
that means NOBLE.

WHAT MAKES
NOBLE COYOTE UNIQUE

  • Bernardo Sada, our visionary founder and Oaxacan biologist, has devoted 12 years to sustainable agave cultivation. He meticulously selects quiotes from the most exceptional specimens of both wild and cultivated maguey, extracting and germinating their seeds.

  • Unlike traditional propagation through off- sets (clones of the mother), seed germination enhances genetic diversity and vitality, resulting in robust agaves with heightened immunological resilience. At the age of 2, these agaves find their home in various fields across Oaxaca, each under the expert care of specialized mezcal artisans. Their mastery elevates the production of artisanal mezcal, creating a spirit of unparalleled richness.

  • In each community, we engage in social endeavors that honor and uphold ancient social norms, guiding agricultural production.
