The Tepeztate agave, a subspecies of the Marmorata family of agave, has a very distinct, erratic leaf structure and flourishes best on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs. Tepeztate produces beautiful quiotes at the end of life which flower a rich yellow before turning to seed. This agave offers a powerful, unique aroma dominated by floral characteristics.
