What makes yerba mate from Paraguay distinctive?

• A bold, often smoky flavour – thanks to the traditional method of drying over fire and smoke,
• High dust content and a fine cut – the dried leaves have a characteristic appearance, with plenty of dust and small pieces of leaves and stems,
• A stronger energising effect – Paraguayan yerba mate is known for the kick it delivers from the very first infusion,
• Ideal for traditional brewing and tereré – enjoyed both hot and cold.

Brewing yerba mate from Paraguay – a little art for the discerning

Because of their high dust content and fine cut, Paraguayan yerba mate blends take a little practice to brew. We recommend using a bombilla with a very fine filter, ideally a spoon-shaped or spring filter. This helps keep the infusion clear and makes drinking it enjoyable, even for those who value convenience. You’ll also find bombillas in our basic sets that are specially suited to this type of dried yerba mate.
