Taragüi Yerba Mate with Stems, 500 gr - 1.1 lbs

Yerba mate, a plant grown primarily in Argentina, the world's leading producer, is the only place in the world where this unique beverage is cultivated. South America is the sole region where yerba mate is grown, and Argentina is not only the world's largest consumer, but also the dominant producer and exporter, accounting for 60% of the global market.

The yerba mate produced in Argentina has been granted the coveted certificate of denomination of origin, which not only provides a legal framework but also represents the fundamental link between the quality of the product and the geographical location where it is grown. This certification underscores the unique terroir and expertise involved in cultivating and processing this renowned herbal infusion.

Mate, an infusion made from yerba mate leaves, is a hugely popular drink in various South American countries, including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. The consumption of mate traces back to the Guarani natives, the indigenous people who once inhabited certain regions of South America. The Guarani would either chew the mate leaves directly or prepare infusions in gourds filled with water.

Yerba mate is renowned for its ability to combat fatigue and promote a positive mood, and it was also traditionally consumed for its therapeutic benefits. Today, Taragüi stands as the leading brand in Argentina, producing more than 56,000 tons of yerba mate annually. Since its establishment in 1940, Taragüi has been cultivated, harvested, and prepared by true experts in the field.

The Taragüi yerba mate is produced at Establecimiento Las Marías, a vast estate spanning over 30,000 hectares in the Argentine province of Corrientes. Since 1924, the Las Marías family business has been committed to guaranteeing the excellent quality of its yerba mate, maintaining control over every stage of production, from cultivation to sale.

Now, nearly a century later, from the same corner of the Corrientes province in Argentina, Las Marías continues to embody the innovative spirit and dedication to quality that has defined its yerba mate production for generations. The company's commitment to excellence is reflected in the delightful Taragüi Yerba Mate Orange Flavor, which can be prepared following these five simple steps:

1. Fill 3/4 of the container with yerba mate.
2. Shake the container upside down to ensure the components (leaf, stick, and leaf powder) are evenly distributed.

4. Place the straw directly against the inside wall of the container.
5. Slowly pour in hot water (at 75°C/167°F) and enjoy the aromatic and flavorful experience of Taragüi Yerba Mate Orange Flavor.
