Taragüi Yerba Mate with Stems (1kg) - Red Pack

Yerba mate, a plant grown exclusively in South America and mainly in Argentina, holds a prestigious position in the global market. Argentina is not only the largest producer and exporter of yerba mate but also the world's leading consumer. In fact, they account for a significant 60% share of the global market. The yerba mate produced in Argentina has been awarded the certificate of denomination of origin, which not only provides legal protection but also signifies the strong connection between quality and the geographical location of production.

Mate, an infusion made from yerba mate leaves, is immensely popular in South American countries like Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. Its consumption dates back to the time of the Guarani natives, the indigenous people residing in certain parts of South America. The Guarani either chewed the mate leaves directly or made infusions using a gourd filled with water. Apart from its reputation for eliminating fatigue and promoting a good mood, yerba mate was also consumed for its therapeutic properties.

The leading brand in Argentina today is Taragüi, which produces over 56,000 tons of yerba mate annually. Since its establishment in 1940, Taragüi yerba mate has been cultivated, harvested, and prepared by true experts. This high-quality product originates from Establecimiento Las Marías, spanning over 30,000 hectares in the Argentine province of Corrientes. Las Marías, a family business since 1924, ensures the excellent quality of yerba mate by carefully controlling every stage of production, right from cultivation to sale. With nearly a century of experience and the same innovative spirit, Las Marías continues to be synonymous with quality in yerba mate production.

Here are five simple steps to prepare a perfect mate: 1. Fill three-quarters of the container with yerba mate. 2. Shake it upside down to evenly distribute the components (leaves, sticks, and leaf powder). 3. Tilt the yerba at a 45° angle and add a small amount of warm water to the bottom. 4. Place the straw against the inside wall of the container. 5. Slowly pour hot water (75 °C/167 °F) and savor your mate with Taragüi.

Mate is not only known for its energizing properties but also for its ability to combat fatigue, promote overall well-being, and balance bodily functions. It is packed with antioxidants and minerals, bolstering the immune system while providing natural nutrition and vitality. Furthermore, mate controls appetite, stimulates physical and mental activity, and contains more polyphenols than green tea while boasting lower caffeine levels compared to traditional tea or coffee options.
