Tepeztate (Agave marmorata) is a highly prized, wild-harvested agave used for premium mezcal, known for its extreme 15–30 year maturity, rugged, cliff-side growth, and bold, vegetal, and spicy flavor profile. It is rare, often found in Oaxaca and Puebla, and requires intense labor to harvest due to its vertical, rocky habitat.
