Erva Mate Barão Nativa 1kg
Barão is one of Brazil’s most important brands of yerba mate (erva mate). This is the traditional blend of green yerba mate – perfect for making the Brazilian version of mate – Chimarrão. 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 nativa blend has a slightly citrus edge , a subtle touch. It is the perfect balance between bitter and mild, Barao Nativa 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.
Due to the special powdery blend, Erva Mate Barão Nativa is vacuum in a superior standard metallic package for extra freshness
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.
