We're in Mexico harvesting agave for tequila with a Jimador! 🍸💃 A Jimador is a Mexican farmer who harvests agave plants, which are harvested primarily for the production of mezcal, sotol and tequila. This task requires the skill of identifying ripe agave, which ripens in between 7 and 12 years. Unripe agave can have a bitter taste, ruining the distilled spirits made from them. The primary tool of a jimador is the coa de jima or simply coa. With @desmadretequila | Foodporn
