The Tequila Industry and a Push for Additive-Free Transparency
Briefly

Tequila, made solely from Blue Weber agave, water and yeast, is increasingly popular in the U.S. However, many consumers lack knowledge of its authentic taste, often influenced by overly sweetened commercial brands. This misunderstanding stems partly from the historical whiskey-drinking culture in America. Recent concerns reveal that some producers manipulate tequila with additives for desired flavors, thus challenging the integrity of the spirit. Major brands like Patrón are now focusing on promoting their additive-free lines, while organizations push for transparency in the industry, emphasizing the need for consumers to appreciate the true essence of tequila.
Tequila is a simple spirit made of Blue Weber agave, water and yeast, meant to embody the earth it comes from, unlike many sweetened commercial versions.
The rise of tequila in the U.S. has led to misconceptions about its true flavor profile, prompting discussions on the importance of recognizing additive-free tequila.
