    i. Biography

    Cuauhtémoc “Temo” García is one of the sons of the late Aquilino García López. He works with his brother Mateo to continue the family’s artisanal mezcal production, including agaves such as Espadín, Tepeztate, Cuishe, Mexicano, and Tobalá. Public sources also describe the brothers as producing Vago’s Elote and other expressions after their father’s death, carrying forward the family’s traditional methods.
