Chaya tequila was the brain child of Albert Berentsen, former president of Kahlúa S.A. It is manufactured from 100% Blue Agave at Industrializadora de Agave San Isidro.

Some reviews state this may preserve more of the natural fruity flavor of the Blue Agave plant. It was the first tequila to be included in gift bags at the MTV Movie
Tequila produced during the thermal degradation of sugar. The most prominent furanic compounds include 2-furaldehyde and 5-methylfuraldehyde, which can contribute to the smoky flavor of tequila. Guaiacol also seems to contribute to Tequila's smoky flavor. Beta-demascenone contributes to the woody, floral taste of tequila. Volatile compounds that contribute to the overall taste and aroma of tequila can be quantitatively assessed and evaluated by gas chromatography. Discrimination tests such as duo-trio and triangle tests are also used to evaluate the quality of the tequila. If silver or white tequila is the desired final product, distillation is the final process it undergoes. Rested
