Taragui Mate Xperience: Yerba Mate Kit for Beginners

Yerba Mate: A Treasured Infusion from the Heart of South America

Yerba mate, a plant native to South America, is the world's leading producer and consumer of this unique beverage. Originating in Argentina, this infusion has become a cherished tradition across the region, with its distinct flavor and renowned health benefits.

Argentina, the world's largest producer and exporter of yerba mate, accounts for 60% of the global market. The yerba mate grown in Argentina has been awarded the coveted certificate of denomination of origin, which not only provides a legal framework but also represents the deep connection between the exceptional quality of the product and the geographical region where it is cultivated.

The consumption of mate dates back to the indigenous Guarani people, who once inhabited parts of South America. They would chew the mate leaves directly or make infusions using a gourd filled with water. Yerba mate was not only enjoyed for its refreshing taste but also for its therapeutic properties, known for its ability to alleviate fatigue and promote a positive mood.

Today, Taragüi stands as the leading brand in Argentina, producing over 56,000 tons of yerba mate annually. Since its establishment in 1940, Taragüi has been cultivated, harvested, and prepared by true experts, with the Establecimiento Las Marías, a family-owned business, overseeing the entire production process from cultivation to sale.

Preparing the perfect mate follows a time-honored ritual, which can be experienced through the Mate Experience kit. This kit, designed for beginners, provides all the necessary elements to enjoy the unique tradition of mate, including a mate cup, a straw, and a pack of Taragui yerba mate.

Compared to green tea, yerba mate boasts a higher antioxidant power, thanks to the polyphenols present in the leaves. These polyphenols strengthen the body's natural defenses against cell aging, making yerba mate a truly health-conscious choice.

Moreover, yerba mate has a positive impact on emotional well-being. As a natural energizer, it acts as a natural antidepressant, as the shared experience of enjoying mate promotes moments of camaraderie, well-being, and happiness among friends and family.

In the heart of the Argentine province of Corrientes, the Las Marías family business has been synonymous with yerba mate excellence for nearly a century. With their innovative spirit and unwavering commitment to quality, they continue to uphold the rich tradition of this beloved South American infusion, ensuring that the world can savor the authentic taste and benefits of yerba mate.
