Our Story

Every sip of Green Card Limited Tequila is a celebration of the immigrant spirit.

Green Card Limited is a small-batch, handcrafted premium tequila, born in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, a land nourished for millennia by the Tequila volcano. Here, our Blue Weber Agave thrives in mineral-rich soils, naturally fertilized by volcanic ash and nurtured by a unique terroir that defines the essence of our tequila. Our tequila is a tribute to the fearless souls that dare to dream of a better life and opportunity. We honor our parents and all immigrants who, with unwavering determination and perseverance, paved the way for generations to come. Like the resilient agave plant that thrives in the desert, their courage and grit inspire us.

Just eight miles from the crater, our agave fields stretch across the landscape, where the deep red earth contrasts vividly with the bold blue of the agave stalks, glowing under the intensity of the Mexican sun. This semi-dry climate marked by warm temperatures year-round and just a brief rainy season shapes our agaves with herbaceous, slightly less sweet notes, giving our tequila a versatile and complex flavor profile.

We honor traditional harvesting methods passed down through generations. Our land is prepared by hand without the use of industrial machinery using time-honored techniques to clean, furrow, and maintain the fields. Twice a year, the weeds are carefully removed by hand to ensure the agaves grow strong.

After 6 to 8 years of slow maturation, only the finest agaves are harvested. The hearts, or piñas, are then transported to our distillery, where the Correa family continues a legacy of craftsmanship spanning more than two decades. It all began when Jesús Correa, our Master Distiller, followed in the footsteps of his father, a traditional fogonero who stoke the stone ovens where the agave is cooked. Today Jesús, alongside his daughter Rosita Correa, a certified Tequila Technician, continues to blend tradition with innovation, refining processes, enhancing quality, and upholding the integrity of every drop.

At every stage, we remain true to the old ways: using natural spring water from artesian wells, free of chemical treatments, to preserve and enhance the volcanic character of the spirit. We make no shortcuts. No compromises.

Once distilled, our blanco tequila is bottled at peak purity, a vibrant expression of our blue agave, our land and its tradition. Our reposado expression undergoes careful aging in a curated mix of American and French oak barrels, each selected for the unique nuances they impart. The result is a refined, sophisticated tequila that is bold, balanced, and remarkably smooth.

Every bottle is hand-labeled and packaged by the women of our local community, whose work not only ensures quality but supports the region’s families and future. We are deeply committed to empowering those around us and creating opportunities through every stage of production.
