For anyone ready to leave the stems behind and embrace the pure strength of the yerba mate leaf. Amanda Despalada removes most of the woody stems, leaving a composition of 90-95% leaf that gives an authentic, lightly smoky flavour with a stronger, more concentrated character and a higher caffeine content. This is the right choice when you want a robust, energetic mate.

What does Amanda Despalada taste like?

Amanda Despalada has an authentic, lightly smoky flavour with a stronger and more pronounced mate character than traditional varieties, and despite that higher intensity it still manages to stay soft and mild. You taste grassy and woody notes with a touch of sweetness, giving a cleaner infusion with a softer and more consistent flavour thanks to the absence of stems. The taste is noticeably stronger than con palo versions and delivers a more concentrated mate character without becoming harsh or overwhelming.

About the producer

Amanda Despalada is made by La Cachuera S.A., with more than 100 years of family expertise and modern laboratory quality control. The unsmoked processing gives a pure yerba mate character without carcinogenic compounds. The company places continual emphasis on ecological balance, works virtually without agricultural chemicals and relies on organic fertilisers. Despalada products are certified gluten-free and comply with Argentinian food regulations (Sin T.A.C.C.).

How do you drink Amanda Despalada?

Prepare Amanda Despalada with the traditional mate method: fill your gourd about three quarters, tilt it and add lukewarm water first, then hot water at 70-80°C. Use a spoon bombilla or a slotted bombilla (the low dust content means clogging isn't a major problem, but these work best). Refill with hot water as needed; you will get around 20 refills with strong flavour. The sin palo form naturally contains more caffeine, which makes this variety ideal for the morning or whenever you need sustained energy through the day.

When you want to taste South America without leaving your mate gourd.

Three kinds of mint meet mountain herbs in this refreshing blend. Union Hierbas Serranas brings together the cool, fresh character of Argentinian serrano herbs from the mountain region with Union's soft base, creating something more pronounced than the citrus blends while keeping the brand's signature mildness and approachability.

What does Union Hierbas Serranas taste like?

Union Hierbas Serranas tastes mild and refreshing, with three kinds of mint producing a complex cooling sensation that feels natural rather than icy. Peppermint gives the strongest mint character, while field mint and poleo add subtle nuances underneath. The cooling effect is clearly noticeable but never artificial, giving a refreshing mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly. The herbal notes are more pronounced than in the citrus blend, but the soft Union base keeps the flavour in balance, so no single element takes over.

About the producer

Hierbas Serranas combines peppermint (Mentha piperita), field mint (Mentha spp.) and poleo (Marsypianthes chamaedrys, Argentinian pennyroyal), all natural components with no artificial additions. Produced by Establecimiento Las Marías, with the same careful ingredient selection and quality control that characterise their flagship brands. The herbal components are traditionally valued for their supportive effect on digestion and their cooling properties, which makes this blend as functional as it is flavourful.

How do you drink Union Hierbas Serranas?

Prepare Serranas with the standard mate method: fill your gourd three quarters full, add lukewarm water and then hot water at 70-80°C. This mate is particularly well suited to cold tereré (recommended), where the mint flavours and the cooling effect come into their own perfectly in warm weather. The herbal cooling character combines excellently with ice. You can also use the French press method: steep 1-2 tablespoons per cup for 3-5 minutes. The mint flavours become more intense with hot water extraction, and the flavour holds up across multiple refills throughout your whole session.

0.5 kg pack

Rosamonte's stemless variant: powerful, energetic and surprisingly balanced despite the sin palo profile. Long ageing (12-18 months) combined with coarsely milled leaf creates something unusual: it tastes more approachable than typical sin palo mates, yet delivers real energy and character. This is your morning mate.

What does Rosamonte Despalada taste like?

Rosamonte Despalada tastes surprisingly approachable for a sin palo version: quite unusual for Argentinian yerba mate, with an oily aroma reminiscent of extra virgin olive oil, bitter-savoury notes and earthy, plummy undertones with minimal smokiness despite the barbacuá drying. The flavour profile is nicely balanced between bitter and sweet, with notes of olive oil, a touch of tobacco, black tea and subtle herbal and woody nuances. The powerful but pleasant bitterness is well balanced by sweetness, giving a relatively straightforward mate with a quick finish that invites a brisk drinking pace.

About the producer

Rosamonte Despalada is produced using Rosamonte's signature barbacuá drying method, followed by 12-18 months of ageing, which develops complexity while softening the sharpness. The coarse mill is a typical Rosamonte trait, and despite a leaf content above 90%, the long ageing and careful production deliver a balanced flavour rather than pure intensity. The company's modern facilities and quality laboratory guarantee consistent results from batch to batch, while the focus on seedling selection and optimal growing conditions ensures superior plants from the very start.

How do you drink Rosamonte Despalada?

Fill your gourd about two thirds with Rosamonte Despalada, tilt it and add lukewarm water down the sloped side. Then add hot water at 70-75°C (temperature control is essential; precision gives the best flavour balance and the longest session). Refill with hot water; you will get 20-25 refills with energetic flavour. The flavours develop less dramatically over the session, but the consistent quality and the perfect morning energy make this variety more than worth it.
