The flagship of Argentina's most trusted yerba mate brand. Taragui Traditional is a perfectly balanced blend of leaves and stems that's been perfected over 85+ years of production. Whether you're new to mate or a seasoned drinker, this everyday option delivers authentic Argentine flavor without any smoke-drying surprises.
What does Taragui Traditional taste like?
Taragui Traditional has a subtle earthy taste with hints of sour fruit and a slight bread-like flavor that keeps things interesting. You'll notice a smoky undertone without it overpowering the show; instead, the real star is that classic burned cookie dough and tobacco character when brewed, followed by bitterness reminiscent of wormwood and rye bread crust. It finishes with hints of lemon and butter, delivering a simple, balanced taste that appeals to anyone who prefers less extravagant flavors.
About the manufacturer
Taragui is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías in Corrientes, Argentina, a company that's been leading the yerba mate world since 1924. They were the first Argentine producer to eliminate PAHs (cancer-causing compounds) through air-drying instead of smoke, and they hold Rainforest Alliance and FSC certifications for sustainable forestry. The Navajas family still runs the operation today, maintaining their commitment to quality across four generations.
How do you prepare Taragui Traditional?
Fill your gourd about three-quarters full with Taragui Traditional, then tilt it and pour lukewarm water along the tilted side. Add hot water at 70-80°C, let it settle briefly, then insert your bombilla (the filtering straw). Pass it around your circle, refilling with hot water as needed. The stems help the leaves pack nicely without clogging your bombilla, making this beginner-friendly and perfect for long mate sessions.
