How our model works

Mezcals bought at a
fair price

We work in partnership with small, artisanal producers, ensuring we buy our mezcal at a price which properly supports producers and encourages sustainable practices.

Products exported
to Europe

We sell to customers and businesses who value quality and align with our vision and principles.

Profits used for
change

We use over 51% of our profits for social and environmental change.

The mezcals we sell

We collaborate with the social collective Mujeres del Mezcal y Maguey (Women of Mezcal and Agave). All the mezcals we select are from artisanal, small batch producers that emphasise quality and sustainability.

A vessel

for change

Época Mezcal is a group of friends, with a taste for change, driven by a desire to make a difference. We want to share our love of mezcal with you while promoting our values.

We invite you to come on this journey with us.

How we plan to make a difference.

Positive impact in Mexico

We work with our partners Mujeres del Mezcal y Maguey (Women of Mezcal and Maguey) to buy mezcal and other products at a fair price directly from small producers. We choose mezcals with an emphasis on quality and sustainability.

Improve sustainability

We partner with mezcal producers who share our values of a sustainable industry. We’re working with them to reduce environmental harm in the production process as well as seeking continuous improvements throughout our supply chain.

Reduce inequality

Our goal in the UK is to open a cantina-style venue in Bristol where we are able to offer meaningful employment opportunities for people who have suffered hardship.

Great to know when buying mezcal that it is sourced responsibly and to understand who’s producing it. I love seeing the process from agave to table. Not to mention that every mezcal I’ve tried from Época tastes delicious. Excited to see what’s next.
