Mariquita-The Guardian of the Agave

At Casa Mate, we celebrate the mariquita, more than just a ladybug, she is nature’s silent steward.

These vibrant red protectors play a crucial role in our organic agave fields, naturally defending crops by feeding on pests like aphids that threaten the health of the Blue Weber agave.

Their presence means we can grow without harsh chemicals or pesticides, honoring both tradition and integrity of the land.

To us, the mariquita symbolizes purity, sustainability, and balance. Her quiet work embodies everything we stand for, craftsmanship guided by nature.

At Casa Mate, she’s not just a helpful insect; she’s family.
