An Ancient History
ZEA Spirits Story
Thousands of years ago, the indigenous Otomi peoples of the Americas harnessed the extraordinary potential of ZEA and transformed it into a staple food source.
Through their ingenuity and reverence for nature, they unveiled secrets—hidden flavors, even the very essence of the variegated maize.
ZEA Spíritu ventures to capture this essence from these magnificent, ancient grasses, generating a new legacy of spirits never before experienced in the region, and throughout the world.
Unveiling the Essence of Zea Spíritu
In the vast realms of nature’s bounty, 10,000 years ago, the wild grass Teosinte grew across what we now call Mexico. Today Teosinte is scientifically labeled Zea Mexicana and holds a captivating secret—it is the ancestor of the heritage corn Zea Mays. Zea is cultivated using natural methods that have been passed down through generations of farmers, preserving its historic and unique genetic qualities. Teosinte’s remarkable journey transformed the course of human history. Our Zea is carefully, sustainably cultivated by farmers in the ancient Tlaxcalan community of Ixtenco, on the slopes of Mexico’s majestic La Malinche volcano, using the traditional and biodiverse Milpa tradition.
Let us embrace Zea Spíritu, recognizing the profound impact this remarkable plant has on our lives and the world that we inhabit.

Our ZEA–maize, genus ZEA–mexicana, holds a captivating secret, and that is the extraordinary role it played in the evolution of our civilization. ZEA, the name that has origins all the way back to ancient Greece, is embodied in what our group is producing for public consumption.
