•High surface activated carbons (ACs) were produced from Agave (A) and Tannin (T).•Submitting T and A to hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) increased carbon yield.•HTC followed by carbonisation produced carbons with developed pore texture.•ACs with surfaces areas up to 1200 m2/g and high carbon yield...
