Our Mission
At Mezcal Trascendente, every bottle carries a purpose beyond spirits. The hummingbird , el colibrí, is more than a symbol; it is nature’s messenger and a guardian of agave pollination. Our mission is simple: to ensure these fragile birds continue to thrive in Mexico and beyond.
What We Do
Through our partnership with Terraza Colibrí (click here to see more), dedicated hummingbird sanctuary, we carry out urgent, hands-on conservation:
Rescue & Care → Every year, dozens of injured hummingbirds arrive at the sanctuary after window collisions, cat attacks, and habitat loss. Each bird receives constant check-ups, assisted feeding, and daily care until strong enough to recover.
Safe Rehabilitation Spaces → Hummingbirds are keps in protected enclosures with special feeders and native flowers. Here they relearn to fly, feed, and hunt, regaining the skills to survive in the wild.
Release Into Safe Habitats → Once ready, every bird is carefully released into secure environments where they can continue their essential role as pollinators.
Community Replanting & Education → Beyond the sanctuary, we mobilize communities to replant native flowers and create hummingbird oases. We run courses on what to do if you find an injured bird, we’ve even transformed hotels along migratory routes into green havens and there is a lot more to come.
Why It Matters
Without pollinators, there is no agave. Without agave, there is no mezcal. Protecting hummingbirds (an endangered pollinator) is protecting our culture, our heritage, and our future. Every bottle turns heritage into action and action into preservation.
