His perspectives have appeared in The New York Times, and his entrepreneurial projects include the Michelin-starred Bresca in Washington, D.C., as well as the widely known Colada Shop, a Cuban-inspired coffee and hospitality venture.
Mijenta Tequila: Heritage, Eco-Consciousness, and Togetherness
Mijenta Tequila is a high-quality, handcrafted brand created by Juan Coronado, Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero, and former Bacardi CEO Mike Dolan. Deeply anchored in the time-honored customs of the Jalisco Highlands, Mijenta emphasizes sustainability, artistry, and building community. The brand’s name, taken from the Spanish expression “mi gente” (my people), underscores its dedication to honoring the individuals and producers behind every bottle.
Coronado partners with Ana María Romero to craft Mijenta’s signature taste profiles and inventive aging processes, employing a distinctive blend of American oak, French oak, and acacia casks. This careful methodology yields tequilas with remarkable depth and personality, attractive to both seasoned experts and those new to the category.
Dedication to Sustainability
Sustainability forms the core of Mijenta’s ethos. The brand uses 100% recycled glass for its bottles and incorporates upcycled, dried agave waste leaves into its labels and packaging. These environmentally friendly efforts cut down on waste and highlight Mijenta’s promise to foster a greener future within the tequila sector. At Agave Social, Coronado will discuss the significance of responsible manufacturing and how artisanal methods help preserve the spirit’s legacy.
A Night of Learning, Connection, and Premium Tequila
The upcoming Agave Social provides a singular chance to hear directly from a major figure in today’s tequila revival.
