Daniel TreloarGUEST
So the purpose of this trip was to come out, do the boardroom show, which was beyond my imagination in terms of like how many people, how many different brands were there.
Daniel TreloarGUEST
We were so lucky to have three different stores that had like Agave representing.
Daniel TreloarGUEST
We had the Dick Brewer stand there.
Daniel TreloarGUEST
And we had US Blanks, which is where they are our distributor here in America.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
But that's like permanently forever, like what the footprint's going to look like.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
And in terms of tequila, it's made from one very specific plant, which is Blue Weber Agave.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
And it's bottled between 35% and 55% alcohol.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
And Mexico's government enforces all of it through a body called the CRT.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
Yeah.
Aaron AlpeterHOST
Well, I mean, when you were at Next Century, were you making stuff from agave?
Margarita BelloGUEST
We were making some from Agave.
Margarita BelloGUEST
We used to buy it directly from Mexico.
Tess BarkerHOST
Honey's fine.
Tess BarkerHOST
Agave's fine.
Tess BarkerHOST

Brandie PoseyHOST
Okay.
Jessica BennettHOST
These are really cute.
Jessica BennettHOST
Sisal.
Jessica BennettHOST
Sisal.
Jessica BennettHOST
I love it in a lake house, a mountain house.
Jessica BennettHOST
There's a casual look to it.
Chava PeribanHOST
But tlayudas, marble, colonche, cacao, coffee, honey, and so many other delights are also invited.
Chava PeribanHOST
If you are wondering why we're talking about this wide array of delights, makes any sense in a show dedicated to distill agave and dacilirion, Well, I would love to prove you that mezcal, tequila, tusca, raisilla, sotol, cucharilla, and the many other wonderful spirits of this country do not exist in a vacuum.
Chava PeribanHOST
Agaves and sotoles will offer their quixote flowers to the bees that will eventually do glorious honey out of that.
Chava PeribanHOST
Pulque is used to turbo boost colonche's fermentation.
Chava PeribanHOST
And agave fibers are used as an architectural element when building large structures like La Petatera en Colima.
Steve StocktonHOST
The park is well known for the tree that inspired its name, the Joshua Tree.
Steve StocktonHOST
Scientifically, it's known as the Yucca Brevifolia and is a member of the Agave family.
Steve StocktonHOST
Joshua trees grow in a wide variety of formations, from thin and sparsely placed to thick and crowded forests.
Steve StocktonHOST
According to the National Park Service, by the mid-19th century, Mormon immigrants had made their way across the Colorado River and into the area that is now the National Park.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
Agaves, like cacti, are native to the Americas with over 200 species, as I said before.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
Maguey, pronounced ma-gay, is the largest of the agave species, growing as tall as eight feet in a distinctive rosette form with massive bluish to green leaves.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
Also known falsely as the century plant, Mage can live for nearly two decades gathering water along its long leaf funnels while absorbing carbon dioxide in its leaf pores, which are called stomata, from the cool night desert air.
Stephanie GeorgieffHOST
All the water and carbohydrates are stored for one single life.
SteveHOST
How's it going, everyone? Welcome back to Agave and Cactus Talk.
SteveHOST
Early in the morning over here, cleaning a couple stalls for some horsies, and, uh, wanted to make a podcast about a question that I got the other day that I thought was a pretty good question.
SteveHOST
Um, the client of mine had bought plants from me in person as well as online, and they wanted to ask what is the, you know, the difference between buying a plant online versus, you know, in person, and if there were any advantages for a consumer, you know, to do one or the other.
9 MINS LATER
SteveHOST
So yeah, that's one thing you gotta take into account.
SteveHOST
Oh, you're, you're tired today.
SteveHOST
Um, so maybe now going to some of his advantages, disadvantages that they asked, right? So when you physically place a plant in a box like an Agave succulent, like a cactus, you know, you're gonna have some shock because that plant now has been out of the sun.
SteveHOST
Um, you know, unless it's like summer where it would be, you know, worse being outdoors.
SteveHOST
But most of the time it's gonna be suffering, you know, because it's, uh, it's in that box.
Tristan StephensonHOST
mean the agave was always sort of my my weak point um in many ways i always i've always loved drinking it's so good um So we're on the Cimarron, which I think is the best, actually.
Tristan StephensonHOST
Although it does change, of course, year to year, but that Cimarron Chocolo is just, it's fairy dust.
Tristan StephensonHOST
Agave was one of the missing books from the kind of pantheon.
Craig HarperGUEST
List the books in case anyone hasn't read them all.
Craig HarperGUEST
Curious
Tristan StephensonHOST
And we had a few calls and we started arranging things.
Tristan StephensonHOST
And he introduced me to a guy called Pancho, who I'd never met before.
Tristan StephensonHOST
But it's basically like the sort of go-to driver for Agave Spirits tours.
Marco WendtGUEST
But he's just trying his best, amiga, you know? So now he's like, "You know what? That didn't work.
Marco WendtGUEST
Now I'm gonna turn myself into a double maguey." Maguey is agave plant, so if you maybe-
Ellen WeatherfordHOST
Oh
Marco WendtGUEST
... right? Enjoy a little tequila, a little mezcal, this is what this plant represented.
