This particular maguey matured in Paula's land for 8-10 years, with broad leaves and a penchant for sloping terrain with both shadow and sunlight. Known in scientific circles as the "drinkers' maguey" and called the "shadow maguey" by locals, the mezcal made from Tobalá maguey is an endemic species of Oaxaca and it is a beloved treat by locals, with its delightful and approachable taste.
