Origin: Argentina
Manufacturer: Tenuta Las Marias
Features: Mate with a strong flavor, robust and persistent on the palate
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's left is to introduce the bombilla and start enjoying your Mate.

The company
Taragüi is one of the world's leading and most well-known brands in the Mate market. It is produced by the Las Marías estate inherited by Víctor Navajas Centeno in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. Don Víctor, together with his young wife María Silvia, worked in 1924 and the following years to create a full-fledged production enterprise. Being both lovers of botany, and especially Don Víctor a great scholar of the subject, they were able to recognize the favorable conditions of their estate, thus beginning what is the success story of the Las Marías estate.
It became Argentina's largest and best-known Yerba Mate production company, which nowadays also produces the premium brands Unión and La Merced.
The Las Marias estate is a lovely place that should definitely be visited. Of course, given the distance, it is definitely not an easy undertaking, but at least online you can do it.
