Our Story

San Hagen Tequila is a San Diego/Copenhagen collab merging the best of both worlds, blending the creativity and warmth of Southern California with the craftsmanship and culinary precision of Denmark. It builds on the vibrant spirit and Mexican heritage of San Diego and the innovative edge of Copenhagen, uniting the flavors, traditions, and craftsmanship of two dynamic cities. San Hagen is proudly women-owned and led, with its founder and CEO at the helm, and maintains offices in San Diego, California and Stenlose, Denmark.

The Founders

San Hagen was founded by Stine Kidemose Jensen, a trained chef with a refined palate who splits her time between San Diego, California and Copenhagen, Denmark. Even before its official launch, San Hagen Tequila had already earned recognition, taking home four international awards for flavor and one for the Blanco.

How We Make It

San Hagen uses 100% Blue Weber Agave, hand-harvested at peak maturity by skilled Mexican jimadores in Jalisco. The pinas are cooked in masonry ovens for 40 hours, then shredded and mixed with volcanic water. The juice is open-fermented using only native yeasts and double-distilled in stainless steel stills with copper coils. Production is entrusted to the brand's manufacturing partner, La Cofradia, a distillery in Mexico with over 50 years of experience (NOM 1137, Jalisco, Los Valles).
