Our Story
Where Friendship Meets Tradition
It all began with our love for artisanal mezcal and respect for tradition. You never know what life brings – in our case, it brought together three adventurous spirits: a builder with deep Mexican roots and two patent law enthusiasts (one keeps a personal barrel of mezcal). United by our passion for Mexico’s most enigmatic spirit, we set out to bottle the joy of Oaxaca for you to experience.
Journey to Excellence
We Partner with True Artisans
Our path wasn’t a rushed one. We spent years traversing the rugged landscapes of Oaxaca, tasting, learning, and searching for that perfect partnership. Our quest led us to a maestro mezcalero whose lineage in the mezcal craft spans three generations and who sits on the Board of Comercam (formerly Consejo Regulador del Mezcal)—the organization responsible for safeguarding the Mezcal Designation of Origin.

The Artisans Touch
It’s not truly mezcal if the traditional artisanal processes aren’t followed. We honor this tradition by producing Mana Tibo mezcal exactly as it was done hundreds of years ago. From Oaxaca’s espadin agave to traditional roasting, fermenting and distillation, this is an extraordinary elixir steeped in history and tradition.
Eco-Friendly
Why the Turtle?
Oaxaca’s coastline is one of the world’s top five sea turtle nesting areas. Large-scale hunting of turtles in the 1970-80s decimated the environment and endangered turtle species. As a result, the Mexican government banned turtle hunting in 1990. Our logo honors the endangered sea turtles along the Oaxacan coast and Mana Tibo donates 1% of their profits to support local turtle sanctuaries.
