Agave Cupreata: Cupreata is also known as Papalote, because of the way its leaves (Pencas) open up to the sun. This sacred plant grows within the higher jungles 4,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level, in a semi-humid climate. It is a wild agave that absorbs solar energy 13 -15 years before it matures.
Awards: Amarás Cupreata took a gold medal at the Bruxelles "Concours Mondial" and the San Fransisco World Spirits Competition. It then took double Gold at the WSWA Tasting Competition.
