Aguantadora Tradicional is an authentic Argentinian mate with a powerful, characterful flavour profile. This award-winning brand from the Monte Carlo Cooperative combines 18 months of ageing with traditional preparation with stems to create a complex, robust yerba mate. Perfect for experienced drinkers who appreciate authentic character.
What does Aguantadore Tradicional taste like?
Aguantadore Tradicional has a powerful and characterful taste, with aromatic notes of sweet treats and breakfast cereal that move into a somewhat bitter, lightly oily mouthfeel. The vegetal, natural flavour shows few earthy notes and stays soft without sharp or rough edges, giving it a traditional Argentinian personality that will appeal to experienced materos looking for authentic strength.
About the producer
Aguantadora is produced by the Monte Carlo Cooperative, an Argentinian yerba mate producer that is owned by its workers and places great value on fair working conditions, consistent quality control and sustainable production methods.
How do you drink Aguantadore Tradicional?
Prepare Aguantadore Tradicional the traditional way: fill your gourd three quarters full with this stemmed blend, cover it and shake a few times to distribute the powder evenly. Then pour warm water (75-85°C) down one side and place your bombilla. The stems form a natural filter that supports traditional preparation. Refill with hot water several times to experience how the longer ageing has developed complex flavours that suit long mate sessions perfectly.
Aguantadora Despalada is a yerba mate from Argentina specially blended from almost exclusively leaves, with a minimal proportion of twigs (palo). This creates a powerful, pure and long-lasting flavor that is ideal for lovers of a strong mate.
Because the blend consists almost exclusively of leaves, this yerba contains a higher caffeine content than a classic blend. This makes Aguantadora Despalada particularly suitable if you are looking for extra energy and focus during the day.
