Natura's energy drink; without the synthetic crash. Taragui Energia harnesses the power of a summer harvest, when yerba plants naturally concentrate their caffeine.

What does Taragui Energia taste like?

Taragui Energia tastes strong and bold, with a pronounced earthy profile and subtle citrus undertones that cut through the intensity. Unlike smoke-dried mates, this air-dried version skips the heavy smokiness and delivers fresh, enjoyable flavor with herbal notes and mild bitterness; think strong green tea rather than tobacco. The fresh, vegetal character shines through, making this intense yerba feel clean and approachable despite its raw power.

About the manufacturer

Taragui Energia is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías, Argentina's largest yerba mate operation. They pioneered air-drying technology (SIN HUMO) to eliminate PAHs while preserving maximum flavor and energy. The summer harvest that makes Energia special is carefully processed and verified to contain zero agrochemicals, meeting the strictest EU food safety standards.

How do you prepare Taragui Energia?

Brew Taragui Energia using traditional mate preparation: fill your gourd three-quarters full, add lukewarm water first to prevent the leaves from floating, then top with hot water at 70-80°C. Insert your bombilla and start sipping. The high-energy content means you'll feel sustained stimulation without the jitters; perfect for morning mate sessions or pre-workout drinks that need to deliver real results.

The mate that convinced skeptics that flavored yerba mate can be delicious.

This is your entry point to exploring what mate culture offers beyond the basics.

What does Taragui Maracuya Tropical taste like?

Taragui Maracuyá Tropical tastes light and refreshing, with passion fruit and orange coming to the fore while the inherent earthy, woodsy, herbal flavors of yerba mate create harmony underneath.

You get that classic hay and herbal quality of Argentine mate without any harsh bitterness getting in the way.

About the manufacturer

Taragui Maracuyá Tropical is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías using natural tropical fruit flavorings cultivated, harvested, and processed by specialists since 1924. The light-bodied yerba is air-dried (no smoke, no PAHs) and blended with carefully selected passion fruit and orange aromatics. Every batch undergoes laboratory verification to ensure no agrochemical residues and compliance with the strictest EU food safety standards.

How do you prepare Taragui Maracuya Tropical?

Break out your gourd and prepare Maracuyá Tropical like any traditional mate: fill three-quarters full, add lukewarm water, then hot water at around 70°C. This one truly shines as tereré (cold mate) on hot days, pour cold water over the leaves, add ice, and watch the tropical notes come alive. 

For those ready to step up their mate game. Taragui Sin Palo strips away the stems and loads you with pure leaves (about 90% leaf content), creating a richer, stronger, and more full-bodied experience. This is where you taste the real complexity that serious mate drinkers crave.

What does Taragui Sin Palo taste like?

Taragui Sin Palo has a uniquely rich and smooth flavor with a velvety, creamy texture that pure leaves deliver.

About the manufacturer

Taragui Sin Palo comes from Establecimiento Las Marías in Corrientes, Argentina, the world's leading yerba mate producer.

How do you prepare Taragui Sin Palo?

Prepare Sin Palo the same way you'd prepare any loose-leaf mate: fill your gourd three-quarters full, tilt it, pour lukewarm water along the side, then add hot water at 70-80°C. Because there are fewer stems, you'll get a denser, more powdery texture, so use a fine filtered bombilla if you have one.

The stems help the leaves pack nicely without clogging your bombilla, making this beginner-friendly and perfect for long mate sessions.
