  • A Journey from Memphis to Mexico

    Growing up in the vibrant city of Memphis, Teddy and Tiara Jasper were no strangers to adversity. Raised in a low-income household, they learned early on the value of hard work, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams. Their journey from Memphis to the agave fields of Jalisco, Mexico, is not just a story of personal triumph, but also a beacon of inspiration for others who dare to dream big.

  • Breaking Barriers in the Tequila Industry

    The tequila industry, like many sectors, has historically been dominated by a small number of large, often family-owned companies.

    For Teddy and Tiara, entering this industry was not just about creating a premium tequila brand, but also about breaking barriers and opening doors for other underrepresented entrepreneurs. As one of the few Black-owned tequila brands, Shadow Tequila is a powerful symbol of diversity and inclusion in an industry that has been slow to change.

  • The Power of Representation

    Representation matters. When people see individuals who look like them succeeding in areas where they are underrepresented, it inspires and empowers them to pursue their own dreams. Teddy and Tiara's success in the tequila industry sends a powerful message to other aspiring Black entrepreneurs: that they too can succeed, even in industries where they have been historically underrepresented.

  • Creating a Legacy

    At Shadow Tequila, we're not just creating a premium tequila; we're creating a legacy. A legacy of excellence, of breaking barriers, and of paving the way for future generations of diverse entrepreneurs.

    We believe that our tequila is enriched by the diversity of our leadership, and we are committed to championing representation and inclusivity in everything we do.

    As you savor the bold, captivating flavors of Shadow Tequila, remember the journey of Teddy and Tiara Jasper. Their story is a testament to the power of dreams, the importance of representation, and the transformative impact of diversity in the tequila industry. Here's to breaking barriers, one sip at a time. Salud!
