Artesanal Cupreata Citrus
Artesanal Cupreata Citrus 500mL 45% 100% Wild Agave Papalometl. 100% Genuine Artisanal Craft Produced Agave Distillate. Artesanal was borne to exclusively represent and support female and ultra small mezcal producers who incorporate. sustainable organic farming practices and genuine artisanal craft production methods in remote areas of Mexico. As the majority of female & ultra small producers are financially and technologically not capable of registering their IP as a commercial brand to gain “mezcal” certification from the CRM (Consejo Regulador de Mezcal); they are disavowed and marginalised by their Government, legally blocking them from selling their distillates in Mexico or exporting them to International markets with their products containing the word “Mezcal”anywhere on their bottle labels. The Mexican law stipulates that their products be classified as “Aguardiente de Agave” or “Destilado de Agave” despite employing and incorporating the same artisanal production processes outlined in mezcal production under the NOM 070 (Norm Official Mexicana 070). The Artesanal brand aims to empower female & ultra small produces in a celebration of their prized art while educating consumers by providing all necessary information required to identify, and find a great quality agave distillate. On the back label of each of our bottles, you will find information on the agave varietal type, the artisans who made it, the villages they are from, and all the relevant details of the artisanal craft production processes utilised in their production.
