Yerba Mate La Merced is the exclusive line of yerba mate produced by Las Marias, one of the largest manufacturers of yerba mate in Argentina. Each variation of this select line has been meticulously crafted with carefully chosen yerba, ensuring a delicate and distinctive flavor that will delight fans of this emblematic beverage.
Yerba Mate La Merced Original Campo & Monte is obtained from a unique combination of the yerbas used in the two blends that make it up. This blend achieves a harmony of flavors, merging the smoothness characteristic of "Campo" with the intensity and robust character of "Monte." The result is a balanced and enjoyable infusion, with subtle nuances that evoke the essence of nature. It is perfect for those seeking an authentic mate experience rich in nuances.
Differences between "La Merced" versions: The different types of yerba mate that "La Merced" produces are related to the origin of the harvest. The further south, due to the characteristics of the soil, the yerba is softer, and the further north is stronger. Generally the milder versions are called "De Campo" and the stronger "De Monte". So, in order of least to greatest intensity we have "Campo Sur" (the most recent variety), "Campo" and "Monte", the latter being the strongest. "Campo Monte" is an intermediate mixed variety meant for those who do not like extremes. On the other hand, we have the "Barbacuá" variety which is a yerba mate with a smoky tone.
Yerba mate contains 24 vitamins & minerals; 15 amino acids; and 11 polyphenols, a group of Phytochemicals which act as powerful antioxidants.
