Yerba mate by country

In our shop you will find yerba mate from the countries that are the biggest importers of yerba mate in the world - Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. In them, yerba mate is considered one of the greatest commodities and even the national drink. When you buy products from our online shop, you always get information about the origin of the product. Each country uses its own rules for the plantation of the Paraguayan holly and the preparation of the dried yerba mate. The differences relate to the location of the plantation, the method of harvesting and drying, as well as the content of the dried product. Although at the beginning of your journey, distinguishing between the different types of dried mate will certainly cause you problems, but over time you will certainly learn to distinguish the different characteristics of yerba mate from a particular country. Experienced gourmets often turn to brands from specific countries in order to taste specific, distinctive flavour notes. Paraguayan yerba mate is a perfect example - the classic variants are really strong and dusty, so advanced mate makers craving strong flavours are particularly keen to try them. Some of the best-known Paraguayan brands include Pajarito, Guarani, Selecta and Colon. Argentine yerba mate has an equally good reputation, and many of the brands derived from it are considered luxury brands. Argentine yerba brands include CBSe, Amanda, Rosamonte and Nobleza Gaucha. Argentine yerba is usually smoke-dried and aged for a long time, giving it a deep and quite strong flavour. A characteristic feature of yerba mate from Brazil, on the other hand, is the vegetal flavour made possible by ripening in the subtropical climate - a very popular variety of yerba there is chimarrao - a very well-milled dried stem and leaf. Brazilian yerba mate varieties include Verde Mate, Yaguar or Soul Mate. If you want to broaden your mate horizons, be sure to try yerba mate from different countries and see which type suits you best. Enjoy your shopping!
