The agave for Santera Tequila is grown in the red volcanic soil of the dormant Volcán de Tequila. [2] It is created by master distiller Sebastian Melendrez. [3] The tequila is made with highland agave containing 21 degrees brix (sugar content), the pinas are roasted for up to 54 hours in hornos (brick ovens).[4]

After distillation, Santera Tequila undergoes a proprietary filtration process for each interpretation.[5] The Blanco is unaged, the Reposado is aged for seven months and the Añejo for sixteen months in American oak barrels.[6] All three tequilas are kosher certified.[7]
