Field of blue agave near Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico

In the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, rows of blue agave stretch across the landscape, their spiky leaves catching the light like a field of sculpted stars. This region, centred around the town of Tequila, is the birthplace of tequila, a spirit deeply tied to both land and tradition.
