Canarias Yerba Mate 1 kg - leaves with stems (con palo), traditional

Canarias Yerba Mate 1 kg

Canarias is a classic yerba mate in a large, kilogram pack, prepared for people who drink this infusion daily. The dried product is made from leaves of the Paraguay holly (Ilex paraguariensis), which are lightly roasted, then crushed and aged before packing.

Flavor and character

The manufacturer describes the flavor as smooth and balanced. The blend is con palo style, meaning it contains a small amount of fine stems alongside pieces of leaf. As a result the dried yerba has a traditional, loose consistency, and the infusion stays clean. The dust content is low, so the yerba mate does not clog the bombilla as quickly as very fine blends.

Who it is for

It is a good choice for people who drink yerba mate at home or at work and want a supply for several weeks. The infusion is distinctly stimulating, because yerba contains a lot of caffeine, so it is not an evening drink for everyone. The product is vegan and contains no flavorings.
