What is Mate?
Processing Yerba Mate
|
1. The Nursery
|
2. The Plantations After six months, the young plants are transplanted in the fields. The tender, loving care each one receives causes them to grow with health, vigor and with all the best qualities of yerba mate. |
3. The Harvest Tradition and technology converge in the yerba mate harvest. Leaves are picked only when they are mature, at exactly the right moment, to ensure the highest quality yerba mate. |
|
4. The Dryer
|
5. Aging The flavor, color and aroma distinctive to each variety of yerba mate produced at Las Marías are obtained through an aging process that is strictly controlled by our experts. |
6. The Mill Processing is completed at the mill, where the yerba mate is treated according to its type, the way it was harvested and the time of year it was processed. Plant parts are then mixed in varying proportions, depending on the nature and brand of yerba mate being produced. |

8. Tasting The discerning palates of our taste-testers are the final control of each step in the process. They ensure perfect balance and long-lasting flavor from each and every variety of yerba mate that we produce. |
