Kraus is an Argentinian, fair and organic producer of yerba mate. Almost all yerba mate is dried using smoke, but Kraus specialises in yerba mate dried without smoke. Instead it uses a system of hot water to dry the yerba using heat along. The result is a cleaner, fresher tasting yerba without a smoky overtone.  Kraus is dedicated to sustainable farming, fair employment and organic yerba mate. A superior taste.

The Pionero blend is a loose leaf blend with stems (con palos) that is smooth and mild, great for beginners.

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.

With any purchase of loose leaf yerba, full photo instructions will be provided on how to brew the perfect yerba mate. Preparation is key: if you get it right, your yerba will always taste great, and last twice as long. Practice makes perfect!
