Erva Mate Barão Premium 1kg

Barão is one of Brazil’s most important brands of yerba mate (erva mate). Brazillian yerba, although produced the same plant is quite different to Argentinian, Uruguayan and Paraguayan yerba. Differences in the way the yerba is dried and milled means the blend is bright green with a mixture of mainly very very fine powder, and large stems.

This blend is the perfect balance between a bitter and mild flavour. Barao Premium blend is a favourite for those with refined palates. It is produced from selected yerba leaves from Paraná, grown in its native environment. The leaves are dried in a treamill dryer with hot air, at lower temperatures and with no contact with smoke, thus providing the purest flavour of yerba mate. The leaves used are the pick of the crop – only the finest leaves are selected for this blend.

Due to the special powdery blend, Erva Mate Barão is vacuum in a superior standard metallic package for extra freshness

Ingredients: 100% Yerba Mate

Brewing Your Yerba Mate

The tradition of drinking yerba mate is such an important part of the South American culture, specifically in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, although it is also enjoyed in other South American countries. Typically, it is drunk from a natural gourd (a hollowed out fruit) used as a cup, and then sipped through a metal straw known as a bombilla that has a filtered end to separate the infusion from the yerba leaves.

Making Chimarrao is quite different to regular hot mate. If not approached in the right way, the drink just won’t work, and you might end up with a big mess! But if prepared in the right way you can make the perfect chimarrao every time, and its not that tricky you just need to know how! See our tutorial blog for step by step instructions with photos on how to brew the perfect chimarrao, first time!

My favourite

This is a delicious, vivid green, finely ground mate. You have to be careful to not get your bombilla clooged up (that might just be me though) but it's a beautiful smooth really tasty brew. I've tried many and this is my absolute favourite.

Great customer service and product

I've been using Urushop for several years and they are extremely reliable with excellent friendly customer service. Whether it's a product query or advice on gourds etc, Urushop will go out of their way to help and it's honestly a pleasure to support a company like this. Delivery is always very prompt and I can't think of a single issue I have had with any of my previous orders.

As for Barao Premium, it's not the same type of erva mate as the Argentinian brands as it's made and consumed by Brazilians, who drink 'chimarrao'. It's appearance is brighter and finer than regular Argentine mate and as a British person, I personally found Barao and chimarrao in general an easier flavour to take to as it lacks the bitterness. From my experience, if you are new to drinking mate Barao is a good starting point - and even if the taste doesn't appeal to you immediately, do stick with it because your palette will adjust and you will find it very rewarding and enjoyable drink! Enjoy!

Thanks for the excellent service and Merry Christmas to all the staff.
