Tepeztate

Maguey tepeztate (or tepextate) is an Agave Marmorata. Tepeztate takes as many as 25 years to mature in the wild, and sustainability efforts are needed in order to keep mezcal production of this agave in the future. Despite all odds it seems to flourish best on the sides of steep rocky cliffs
