Chaya tequila Chaya tequila Chaya is a brand of tequila produced by "Interco Brands Inc" The product is produced from 100% Blue Agave. 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. Unlike many tequila brands manufactured at the Industrializadora de Agave San Isidro production facility, Chaya is never wood barrel aged. 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 fruitier-tasting tequila, while lowland agaves give the tequila an earthier flavor. Unlike other tequila production steps, fermentation is one of the few steps out of the control of human beings. Fermentation is the conversion of sugars and carbohydrates to alcohol through yeast in anerobic conditions, meaning that oxygen is not present during the process. Fermentation is also carried out in a non-aseptic environment which increases the bacterial activity of tequila. The participation of microorganisms from the environment (yeasts and bacteria) makes fermentation a spontaneous process which gives rise to many byproducts that contribute to the flavor and aroma of tequila.
