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.
Natura's energy drink; without the synthetic crash. Taragui Energia harnesses the power of a summer harvest, when yerba plants naturally concentrate their caffeine. You're getting double the mateine (yerba mate's natural caffeine) and up to 30% more xanthines than regular Taragui, making this the choice for athletes and anyone who needs sustained, natural energy.
What does Taragui Energia taste like?
Taragui Energia tastes strong and bold, with a pronounced earthy profile and subtle citrus undertones that cut through the intensity. Unlike smoke-dried mates, this air-dried version skips the heavy smokiness and delivers fresh, enjoyable flavor with herbal notes and mild bitterness; think strong green tea rather than tobacco. The fresh, vegetal character shines through, making this intense yerba feel clean and approachable despite its raw power.
About the manufacturer
Taragui Energia is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías, Argentina's largest yerba mate operation. They pioneered air-drying technology (SIN HUMO) to eliminate PAHs while preserving maximum flavor and energy. The summer harvest that makes Energia special is carefully processed and verified to contain zero agrochemicals, meeting the strictest EU food safety standards.
How do you prepare Taragui Energia?
Brew Taragui Energia using traditional mate preparation: fill your gourd three-quarters full, add lukewarm water first to prevent the leaves from floating, then top with hot water at 70-80°C. Insert your bombilla and start sipping. The high-energy content means you'll feel sustained stimulation without the jitters; perfect for morning mate sessions or pre-workout drinks that need to deliver real results.
The mate that convinced skeptics that flavored yerba mate can be delicious. Taragui Maracuyá Tropical combines passion fruit and orange in a light, sweet blend that bridges traditional Argentine mate with tropical fruit flavors; often called "the first flavored mate people truly enjoy." This is your entry point to exploring what mate culture offers beyond the basics.
What does Taragui Maracuya Tropical taste like?
Taragui Maracuyá Tropical tastes light and refreshing, with passion fruit and orange coming to the fore while the inherent earthy, woodsy, herbal flavors of yerba mate create harmony underneath. The overall experience is quite simple but well-executed, not too intoxicating with flavoring, maintaining the yerba mate essence while delivering genuine sweetness and tropical character. You get that classic hay and herbal quality of Argentine mate without any harsh bitterness getting in the way.
About the manufacturer
Taragui Maracuyá Tropical is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías using natural tropical fruit flavorings cultivated, harvested, and processed by specialists since 1924. The light-bodied yerba is air-dried (no smoke, no PAHs) and blended with carefully selected passion fruit and orange aromatics. Every batch undergoes laboratory verification to ensure no agrochemical residues and compliance with the strictest EU food safety standards.
How do you prepare Taragui Maracuya Tropical?
Break out your gourd and prepare Maracuyá Tropical like any traditional mate: fill three-quarters full, add lukewarm water, then hot water at around 70°C. This one truly shines as tereré (cold mate) on hot days, pour cold water over the leaves, add ice, and watch the tropical notes come alive.
For those ready to step up their mate game. Taragui Sin Palo strips away the stems and loads you with pure leaves (about 90% leaf content), creating a richer, stronger, and more full-bodied experience. This is where you taste the real complexity that serious mate drinkers crave.
What does Taragui Sin Palo taste like?
Taragui Sin Palo has a uniquely rich and smooth flavor with a velvety, creamy texture that pure leaves deliver. You still get the smoky, earthy goodness of traditional yerba mate, but it's wrapped in a noticeably softer feel. The stronger leaf-to-stem ratio brings out more pronounced earthiness mixed with subtle sweetness, creating a more complex and full-bodied taste than the Traditional version.
About the manufacturer
Taragui Sin Palo comes from Establecimiento Las Marías in Corrientes, Argentina, the world's leading yerba mate producer. Since 1924, they've been perfecting their craft with air-drying technology that eliminates carcinogenic PAHs and maintains purity without agrochemicals. Their vertically integrated operation means they control every stage from seedbed to package, guaranteeing consistency and quality in every sip.
How do you prepare Taragui Sin Palo?
Prepare Sin Palo the same way you'd prepare any loose-leaf mate: fill your gourd three-quarters full, tilt it, pour lukewarm water along the side, then add hot water at 70-80°C. Because there are fewer stems, you'll get a denser, more powdery texture, so use a fine filtered bombilla if you have one.
When you want to taste South America without leaving your mate gourd. Taragui Naranja blends the authentic earthiness of traditional Argentine yerba mate with a refreshing burst of natural orange flavoring. This is the most exotic option from Taragui, smooth, invigorating, and perfect for anyone seeking a citrus twist on the classics.
What does Taragui Naranja taste like?
Taragui Naranja tastes like traditional Taragui mate with a delicious orange upgrade: fresh citrus notes come forward on the palate while the earthy, woodsy base keeps things grounded and balanced. The orange aroma is noticeable throughout every infusion, creating a bright, refreshing character that never overwhelms. You get the smoothness and energy of standard yerba mate wrapped in a sunny citrus flavor that begs for cold water and ice.
About the manufacturer
Taragui Naranja is crafted by Establecimiento Las Marías using their signature air-drying method that eliminates carcinogenic PAHs. The natural orange flavoring is carefully blended with the finest yerba mate leaves and stems from Corrientes, Argentina. Over 85 years of production expertise goes into every package, backed by certifications proving no agrochemical residues and full EU food safety compliance.
How do you prepare Taragui Naranja?
Taragui Naranja works beautifully both hot and cold. For traditional hot mate, fill your gourd three-quarters full, add lukewarm water, then hot water at 70-80°C, and pass it around with your bombilla. For summer tereré (cold mate), simply pour cold water or ice-cold juice over the leaves and sip through your bombilla.
More citrus means more flavor complexity. Taragui Cítricos del Litoral combines orange, mandarin, and grapefruit in one harmonious blend, creating a refreshing taste that balances fruity brightness with authentic Argentine earthiness. This is yerba mate for those who want their flavoring to have dimension and depth.
What does Taragui Citricos taste like?
Taragui Citricos tastes like dried yerba mate leaves adorned with aromas of three citrus fruits at once, orange, mandarin, and grapefruit work together to create a refreshing, harmonious profile that's both complex and balanced. The triple citrus blend combines brightness with the earthy, traditional mate foundation, creating something that feels sophisticated without being overly perfumed. It's citrus that enhances rather than masks what makes Taragui special.
About the manufacturer
Taragui Cítricos is part of Las Marías' ""Flavors of the World"" series, blending yerba from different regions of Argentina and different harvest periods for maximum complexity. The natural citrus flavorings (no artificial additives) combine with air-dried leaves verified to be PAH-free by Eurofins laboratory in Germany. These certifications and family expertise spanning 85+ years ensure consistent quality in every sip.
How do you prepare Taragui Citricos?
Prepare Cítricos using standard mate technique: fill your gourd three-quarters full with the blend, tilt and add lukewarm water, then hot water at 70-80°C. This one's absolutely ideal for tereré (cold mate) on hot summer days, as the citrus flavors really sing when served ice-cold with cold water or even fresh juice.
