Reaching the editorial team at Tequila Authority connects readers, researchers, and industry professionals with the people who maintain this reference. Whether the question is about a specific NOM number, a detail in the tequila certification and regulation pages, or a factual correction to the tequila production process content, this page explains how to structure that communication and what to expect once it's sent.

How to reach this office

The primary contact channel for Tequila Authority is the email address listed in the site footer. That address routes directly to the editorial desk — the team responsible for the factual accuracy of every page on this property, from blanco tequila through extra añejo and the deeper regulatory content on denomination of origin.

For readers who prefer structured web forms, a contact form is available in the footer of every page. Both channels land in the same queue and receive the same priority treatment. There is no separate "urgent" line — all messages are reviewed in the order received, with editorial corrections given slightly faster handling than general inquiries.

Social media accounts associated with Tequila Authority are monitored for brand-level mentions but are not a reliable channel for detailed factual questions. A nuanced question about tequila distillation methods deserves a considered answer, not a 280-character reply.

Service area covered

Tequila Authority operates as a national-scope reference resource for the United States market. The content is written for readers navigating US-specific concerns: buying tequila in the US, understanding tequila import rules, or comparing mixto tequila against 100 percent agave expressions under labeling standards that apply at American retail.

That said, tequila production is geographically bounded by Mexican law — the spirit can only be made within 5 designated Mexican states (tequila regions of Mexico) — so a meaningful portion of the reference content necessarily covers Mexican regulatory and production realities. Questions about those topics are entirely within scope.

What falls outside the editorial remit: legal advice of any kind, medical guidance, retail purchasing recommendations tied to specific storefronts, and brand partnerships or promotional arrangements. The content here is reference material, not commerce.

What to include in your message

A clear message gets a faster, more useful response. The following structure covers the 4 elements that help the editorial team triage and act efficiently:

1. The page URL or page title — pointing to the specific page in question eliminates the most common source of back-and-forth. "The aging process page" is helpful; "something about barrels" is less so.
2. The specific claim or section — quoting the sentence or heading in question, rather than summarizing it, ensures the team is looking at exactly what prompted the message.
3. The nature of the inquiry — a factual correction is handled differently than a content gap suggestion or an industry partnership inquiry. Labeling it upfront saves a round of clarifying questions.
4. A source, if applicable — for corrections, naming a public source (the Consejo Regulador del Tequila, the TTB, a USDA report) accelerates the verification process. Tequila Authority follows a named-source standard; unsourced corrections are reviewed but take longer.

The contrast between a correction and a content suggestion is worth spelling out. A correction asserts that something published is factually wrong — it needs a named source and the specific erroneous text. A content suggestion proposes that a topic deserves coverage that doesn't yet exist, such as a missing page on tequila aroma compounds or a gap in the tequila food pairings content. Both are welcome; they just move through different internal workflows.

Response expectations

Editorial corrections receive a response within 5 business days. If a submitted correction checks out against a named public source, the relevant page is updated and the submitter receives a confirmation. If the editorial review finds the published information accurate, the team explains why — citing the source that supports the existing content.

General inquiries, content suggestions, and industry outreach typically receive a response within 10 business days. That window reflects the volume of incoming messages and the research time required to give non-trivial questions a non-trivial answer.

What not to expect: automated acknowledgment emails, ticket numbers, or real-time chat. Tequila Authority is an editorial operation, not a customer service platform. The tradeoff is that responses, when they arrive, come from a person who has actually read the message and looked into the question — not a template filtered through a routing system.

Messages that skip the structure outlined above — no page reference, no specific claim, no stated purpose — are still read, but they move to the back of the queue simply because they require more back-and-forth to resolve. The tequila frequently asked questions page covers the 20 most common reader questions and resolves the majority of general inquiries without requiring a message at all.
