Origin: Canelones, Uruguay
Manufacturer: Canarias
Features: Yerba Mate with an intense flavor, perfectly balanced by sweet notes and a surprising spicy aftertaste. Flavor that stands up to a good number of infusions.
Method of preparation:Fill the calabaza/mate 3/4 full, cork it with the palm of your hand, then shake it while holding it down tightly. Once this is done, the Yerba will tilt slightly, at which point you need to pour a little lukewarm water into the little "unevenness" that has been created, so as to moisten it slightly and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then you can start pouring, still in the previous wet spot, minimally mineralized water at 70/80 °C, being careful not to wet all the Yerba Mate present in the mate. After that all that remains is to introduce the bombilla and start enjoying your Mate.

The company
Canarias is the leading brand in the Uruguayan market, but it does not produce its Mate in Uruguay. Uruguay does not have a large production capacity for Mate, in fact it is usually produced mainly in neighboring countries, such as Brazil, Paraguay, and Northwest Argentina. Canarias produces its mate in Brazil and sells, again on Brazilian soil a significant portion of it. If you want to know more about Mate culture in Uruguay read our article. The company, in addition to Mate, also produces traditional tea (Camellia sinensis).
