ZEA is Set Apart
The rich volcanic soil of La Malinche volcano nourishes our maize.
A unique, technological development in the distillation process ensures a genetic imprint—sort of a biological fingerprint, to add inherent reliability, and security to our family of spirits.
A glorious patience surrounds our system of producing ZEA Spirits. We rely on ancient farming practices and sustainable techniques which are not guaranteed each year. After a painstaking planting, growing, and harvest cycle, we then soak the precious kernels in a proprietary blend of life-giving liquid. Patiently waiting for germination—literally life from the dead. This patent-pending process is harnessing truly incredible benefits in our final distillation process to produce the finest spirits in the world.
Every sip of our smooth, clean-tasting spirits, is a sensory celebration of the rich, authentic flavors from the fields of the Puebla-Tlaxcala valley.
Germinating ZEA
From Puebla, Mexico comes a corn that has grown in the region for over 10,000 years, nourished by volcanic water, and harvested century after century.
Our ZEA-maize, genus ZEA-mexicana, holds a captivating secret, the extraordinary role it played in the origins of our civilization. The Mayans cultivated ZEA-maize on the exact ground we sustainably farm our corn for ZEA Family of Spirits.
We invite you to journey with us on our exceptional adventure with this premium spirits brand as we celebrate ZEA Spíritu.
