Taragui is one of the key brands of the Argentinian powerhouse yerba producer Las Marias. Las Marias has been producing yerba mate since 1924 and today covers over 30,000 hectares in Corrientes, Argentina. It operates a strict policy of high level quality control while at the same time protecting the rights of workers. Taragui contains yerba both from the central and northern areas of Misiones and northeastern Corrientes, so has the advantage of containing both summer and winter yerbas.

Ingredients: 100% Yerba Mate

Brewing Your Yerba Mate

The tradition of drinking yerba mate is such an important part of the South American culture. This is specifically true in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, although in addition 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. It is then sipped through a metal straw known as a bombilla that has a filtered end to separate the infusion from the yerba leaves. This happens while groups of friends and family get together to chat, and enjoy mate together.

With any purchase of loose leaf yerba, full photo instructions will be provided on how to brew the perfect yerba mate. So there is no excuse not to brew the perfect yerba mate! If you get it right, your yerba will always taste great, and last twice as long. Most of all, practice makes perfect!
