Paraguayan yerba mate with twigs – Campesino Clasica

Campesino Clasica is the most traditional product in the brand’s offer. Some people claim that this one is rather boring or ordinary, but we think it is worth trying it at least once. Try and see for yourself!

First impression!

The packaging of Campesino Clasica differs from the packagings of the other products of this brand. This elaborada is packed in a normal, paper packet that does not look very attractive but it may associate with a high-quality Paraguayan product. On the packet, there is information about the origin of the product. It was also translated into English. It is clear that this brand is popular in the world and has prepared for export.

The smell from the packet is not as intense as expected and smoky flavours are present, although are rather weak. Yerba mate tastes just like a typical Paraguayan product - it contains lots of twigs and dust, leaves are precisely cut and green.

How does it taste?

After pouring it with water it becomes much more intense - mate tea, smoke, earthy flavour. The first refill is delicate. The next refills are a bit stronger, but we can’t say that this product may be described as typically Paraguayan. Especially if you drink a lot of traditionally bitter mate teas. In general, Campesino Clasica is quite pleasant on the palate. The infusion becomes more bitter and stronger after some time but sill - it is rather a yerba of medium bitterness and may be perfect for those who are not keen on excessive bitterness and expect a good stimulation effect.

We would say that it isn’t mate tea good for beginners. We would recommend it to the fans of Paraguay. The taste is not too strong and not too weak as well - it is hard to describe it explicitly. If you are curious about new flavours and products, try this one - Campesino Clasica will introduce you to the whole new world!
