Why Is Tequila Special?

Tequila is crafted from 100% blue Weber agave and follows strict production standards to ensure authenticity. It can be enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or paired with food, making it one of the most versatile spirits in the world.


At House of Mezcal, we offer premium tequila in Hong Kong, carefully selected to highlight the craftsmanship and heritage of Mexico.

The Four Main Types of Tequila

Tequila is categorized by its aging process, which affects its flavor and character. Here’s a breakdown of the four main tequila types and how to enjoy them:


1. Tequila Blanco (White or Silver)

Blanco tequila is unaged, allowing the vibrant flavors of blue agave to shine. Expect fresh herbal, citrus, and sweet notes. It’s often used in cocktails but can also be sipped neat.


  •  Pairing Tip: Ideal for Margaritas, Palomas, or pairing with light dishes like sushi or fresh salads.

  • Try: Cascahuín Blanco, available at House of Mezcal—a must-have for those exploring tequila in Hong Kong.


2. Tequila Reposado (Rested)

Aged for 2 months to 1 year in oak barrels, Reposado tequila develops smooth, balanced flavors with hints of vanilla, caramel, and spice.



3. Tequila Añejo (Aged)

Aged for 1 to 3 years, Añejo tequila offers deep, complex flavors of dried fruit, chocolate, toasted nuts, and warm spices.


  •  Pairing Tip: Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or paired with dark chocolate, aged cheese, or crème brûlée.

  •  Try: Arette Suave Añejo, a sophisticated choice for tequila lovers in Hong Kong.


4. Tequila Extra Añejo (Extra Aged)

The most luxurious category, aged for at least 3 years. Expect rich flavors of oak, spice, dried fruit, and sweet caramel—similar to fine cognacs or whiskies.
