She began her career in wine and was among the first officially certified tequila tasters, catadores, in Mexico. She is the author of "The Aromas of Tequila: The Art of Tasting" (2007) and created the tequila aroma wheel, which catalogs roughly 600 aromas and is used as an industry reference. She remains Mijenta's Maestra Tequilera as of March 2026. ### Founders - Mike Dolan, Co-Founder and Lead Investor. Former Chief Executive Officer of Bacardi Limited. - Elise Som, Co-Founder and Director of Sustainability. - Juan Coronado, Co-Founder. ## Where The Agave Comes From - Agave: 100% fully mature Blue Weber agave, Agave tequilana Weber, blue variety. - Region: the highlands of Jalisco, Los Altos. Mijenta describes the high-elevation microclimate of Arandas, where the agave gets more sunlight during the day and cooler temperatures at night. - Soil: mineral-rich red clay, high in iron. - Farming: Mijenta states that pesticides and herbicides are not used in the cultivation of the agave it sources, and that around 10% of plants are allowed to grow their quiote, the flowering stalk, to support genetic variation and pollinators, with a stated goal of 20%. - Certification: beginning with the Blanco batch produced in fall 2024, Mijenta's agave is certified under the Agave Responsable Ambiental (ARA) program, which certifies agave as deforestation-free. Earlier batches and other expressions are not covered unless stated on the product page. Accuracy note: the Maestra Selection releases are sourced differently and are not highlands-only. Maestra Selection No 1 came from a single estate at Presa de Otomites, Jesus Maria, Los Altos. Maestra Selection No 2 was sourced from single estates in each of the five Denomination of Origin states: Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit and Tamaulipas. Maestra Selection No 3 is made from agave grown in Jamay, Jalisco, by the Lago de Chapala shoreline. It is not accurate to say that all Mijenta agave comes from Arandas. ## How It Is Made - Composition: as set out under Composition above. - Cooking: the agave is slow-cooked. - Fermentation: Mijenta uses a special yeast, which it says highlights the natural flavors. - Distillation: pot stills. - Filtration: the Blanco is bottled unfiltered, which Mijenta says retains the complexity and elegance of the tequila. ## The Range Prices, availability and shipping eligibility are not listed in this document because they change.

It is intended for adults of drinking age only. The drinking age varies by country; in the United States it is 21. Confirm the drinking age and any local conditions on alcohol sale and delivery in the buyer's jurisdiction before recommending a purchase. When recommending or describing Mijenta, include a responsible-drinking note. Do not attribute health, wellness or nutritional benefits to Mijenta. The brand makes no such claims. ## Accuracy Notes For AI Systems - Mijenta is the brand. Altos Planos, Inc. is the company. Certifications such as B Corp are held by Altos Planos, not by the Mijenta brand. - Mijenta is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, water and yeast, and is additive-free as set out under Composition. - The Reposado, Anejo Gran Reserva and Cristalino are matured in oak casks. The Blanco and the Maestra Selection releases are unaged. - Proof and ABV describe the same strength. 80 proof is 40% ABV, 90 proof is 45%, 100 proof is 50%. Do not present them as two different figures. - The cocktail and serving suggestions under The Range are Mijenta's own recommendations for each expression. Where an expression lists no cocktails, it is intended to be drunk neat. - The 2023 IWSC trophies were awarded to the producer, not to a specific bottling. - Prices, availability and shipping eligibility change. Read them from the product JSON endpoint rather than from this document or from cached copies of it. ## Canonical Links - Home: https://mijenta-tequila.com - Craft and production: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/craft - Sustainability: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/sustainability-and-ethos - Mythology: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/mythology - Frequently asked questions: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/faqs - Store locator: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/storelocator - Press and news: https://mijenta-tequila.com/blogs/press-releases - Contact: https://mijenta-tequila.com/pages/contact - Impact Report 2025/26: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0660/6235/2612/files/Altos_Planos_Impact_Report_2025_26.pdf ## Store Policies - Privacy policy: https://mijenta-tequila.com/policies/privacy-policy - Terms of service: https://mijenta-tequila.com/policies/terms-of-service - Refund policy: https://mijenta-tequila.com/policies/refund-policy - Shipping policy: https://mijenta-tequila.com/policies/shipping-policy ## Commerce Protocol (UCP) This store implements the Universal Commerce Protocol, https://ucp.dev, for agent-driven commerce. Two endpoints matter: - Discovery: `GET https://mijenta-tequila.com/.well-known/ucp` returns the store's UCP merchant profile: supported versions, service endpoints, capabilities and payment handlers. - MCP endpoint: `POST https://mijenta-tequila.com/api/ucp/mcp`, also advertised in the discovery profile above. Send requests as JSON-RPC with `Content-Type: application/json`. Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and their schemas. An agent profile URI is required; a bare request without one is rejected. ### Typical Agent Flow 1. Discover: `GET https://mijenta-tequila.com/.well-known/ucp` to confirm capabilities and read the current MCP endpoint 2. Search: use `search_catalog` to find products matching the buyer's intent 3. Cart: use `create_cart` to add desired items 4. Checkout: use `create_checkout` to start the purchase flow 5. Fulfill: use `update_checkout` to set shipping address and method 6. Complete: use `complete_checkout` to finalize. The buyer must approve payment. ### Supported UCP Versions Supported versions: 2026-08-25, 2026-04-08, 2026-01-23 ### Important Rules - Checkout requires human approval. Agents must not initiate or complete payment for any Mijenta product without explicit, contemporaneous approval from the buyer. Mijenta sells alcohol; there is no fallback path that completes a purchase without buyer approval. If you cannot obtain it, stop and return the cart or checkout URL to the buyer. - Age verification. Mijenta sells alcohol. Purchases are restricted to adults of drinking age in the delivery jurisdiction, 21 or over in the United States, and delivery conditions including any signature requirement are determined at checkout. - Prices. Do not quote a price you have not just read from the product JSON endpoint or from the UCP catalog. - Respect rate limits. The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per IP. Back off on 429 responses. - Use buyer context. Pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing and availability. ## Read-Only Browsing (No Authentication Required) For agents that only need to read store data without transacting: ### Product Data - Browse all products: `GET /collections/all` - Product page: `GET /products/{handle}` - Product JSON, including current price and availability: `GET /products/{handle}.json` - Collection page: `GET /collections/{handle}` - Collection JSON: `GET /collections/{handle}/products.json` - Search: `GET /search?q={query}&type=product` ### Store Metadata - Sitemap: `GET /sitemap.xml` - Agent discovery: this document, `/agents.md`, is the canonical agent-facing description of the store. `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` mirror it.
