It’s only fitting that a lively name like pepita, which rolls off the tongue in staccato fragments, would describe a method of engraving crystal. The traditional Mexican technique of grabado de pepita en vidrio starts with an aluminum oxide grinding stone or wheel that manually carves out patterns of small, decorative seed-like shapes in glass objects.
The centuries-old practice was perfected by Mexican artisans; today, there are only a handful who are still skilled at this craft. However, pepita did not originate in Mexico. It reportedly began in the Netherlands in the 15th century, and was brought to Germany and Spain, and later to Mexico in 1524, when Rodrigo de Espinoza opened Mexico’s first glass factory in Puebla. De Espinoza brought a group of Spanish artisans to teach the natives, who incorporated pre-Hispanic designs with glass blowing techniques, which later evolved into pepita.
Each bottle of Casa Dragones is crafted from fine crystal and hand-engraved using the traditional technique of pepita, giving a truly international touch to our world-class tequila.
