Agaves are harvested by jimadores using a special razor sharp shovel called  “coa”. The “coas” allow the jimadores to both uproot the agave and take the tips of the agave plant to create “piñas”(swollen, juicy stem that is the part used for making tequila).

Mezcal Farmers

Mitla, Oaxaca, México 2016

The Mexican state of Oaxaca is the largest producer of Mezcal in the world. The Mezcal; an artisan drink, it is not confirmed as a distilled drink before the Spanish conquest but it is one of the most preferred by Mexicans.

Early in the morning the Mezcal is made by hand by small producers in relation to industrial manufacturers of dubious flavor.

In this early morning shot of a sunny and misty day; I witnessed one of the most beautiful dance performances I have ever seen.
