Union SuaveĀ Yerba Mate
Union SuaveĀ yerba mate is the brand by Argentinian yerba producer Las Marias that is blended to be smoother and lighter than the other brands produced here. Las Marias has been producing yerba mate since 1924. ItĀ operates a strict policy of high level quality control while at the same time protecting the rights of workers.
The plantation and factory are located inĀ MisionesĀ where the earth is so mineral rich that it is bright red. There is only one small region in the world where this is the case and Misiones makes up part of that region. So yerba mate only grows in this regionĀ and it is why mate is so full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Union SuaveĀ yerba mate is of very high quality. This is because of strict quality controlĀ and audit of outsourced yerba. Union SuaveĀ also uses superior anti-moisture packaging that leads the industry. Customers who buy Union SuaveĀ yerba mate can rely on the quality associated with this brand.
Yerba Mate
The tradition of drinking yerba mate is such an important part of the South American culture that it can't be forgotten. This is specifically true in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. AlthoughĀ in addition it is also enjoyed in other South American countries. Typically, yerba mateĀ is drunk from a natural gourd (a hollowed out fruit) used as a cup. The resulting infusion isĀ then sipped through a metal straw known as a bombillaĀ that has a filtered end to separate the infusion from the yerba leaves. Groups of friends and family traditionally get together to chat and enjoy mate together.
Any visitor to Argentina and especially Uruguay will have noticed that people everywhere are drinking yerba mate. Many people drink yerba mate because of its high content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Others drink yerba mateĀ because of the social aspect of sharing the brew with friends. Others drink yerba mate because they simply enjoy the taste!
