The calling card of one of Argentina's most trusted yerba mate brands. Taragui Traditional is a perfectly balanced blend of leaves and stems, refined over more than 85 years. Whether you are just starting out with mate or you are a seasoned drinker, this everyday choice delivers authentic Argentinian flavour without unpleasant smoky notes.
What does Taragui Traditional taste like?
Taragui Traditional has a subtle, earthy flavour with hints of sour fruit and a lightly bready character that keeps it interesting. You notice a faint smoky undertone without it taking over; instead, the real star is that classic character of toasted dough and tobacco as it brews, followed by a bitterness reminiscent of absinthe and rye bread crust. It finishes with hints of lemon and butter, giving a simple, balanced flavour that appeals to anyone who prefers a less assertive profile.
About the producer
Taragui is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías in Corrientes, Argentina, a company that has led the yerba mate world since 1924. They were the first Argentinian producer to eliminate PAHs by using air drying instead of smoke, and they hold Rainforest Alliance and FSC certifications for sustainable forest management. The Navajas family is still at the helm, guarding that quality standard across four generations.
How do you prepare Taragui Traditional?
Fill your gourd about three quarters with Taragui Traditional, then tilt it and pour lukewarm water down the tilted side. Add hot water at 70-80°C, let it settle for a moment and then insert your bombilla. Pass it round your circle and refill with hot water as needed. The stems help the leaves pack together well without clogging your bombilla, which makes this beginner-friendly for long mate sessions.
Nature's energy drink, without the synthetic crash. Taragui Energia draws on the strength of a summer harvest, when yerba plants naturally concentrate their caffeine. You get twice as much mateine (the natural caffeine in yerba mate) and up to 30% more xanthines than in regular Taragui, which makes this the ideal choice for athletes and anyone in need of sustained, natural energy.
What does Taragui Energia taste like?
Taragui Energia tastes powerful and pronounced, with a clear earthy character and subtle citrus undertones that balance the intensity nicely. Unlike smoke-dried mates, this air-dried variety is free of heavy smokiness and offers a fresh, agreeable flavour with herbal notes and a mild bitterness — think strong green tea rather than tobacco. The fresh, vegetal character comes through clearly, which keeps this intense yerba feeling clean and approachable despite its raw strength.
About the producer
Taragui Energia is produced by Establecimiento Las Marías, Argentina's largest yerba mate producer. They pioneered air-drying technology (SIN HUMO) to eliminate PAHs while retaining maximum flavour and energy. The summer harvest that makes Energia so distinctive is carefully processed and checked for zero agrochemicals, and meets the strictest EU food safety standards.
How do you drink Taragui Energia?
Prepare Taragui Energia the traditional way: fill your mate cup three quarters full, add lukewarm water first to stop the leaves from floating, then top up with hot water at 70-80°C. Place your bombilla and start drinking. Thanks to the high energy content you get sustained stimulation without a jittery feeling — perfect for your morning mate or as a pre-workout drink that genuinely has to perform.
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 anyone ready to take the next step in mate. Taragui Sin Palo leaves the stems out and gives you pure leaf (around 90% leaf content), which makes for a richer, stronger and fuller experience. This is where you taste the real complexity seasoned mate drinkers are after.
What does Taragui Sin Palo taste like?
Taragui Sin Palo has a uniquely rich and soft flavour with the velvety, creamy texture that pure leaf delivers. You still get the smoky, earthy qualities of traditional yerba mate, but wrapped in a noticeably softer mouthfeel. The higher ratio of leaf to stem brings out more pronounced earthy notes, blended with a subtle sweetness, giving a more complex and fuller flavour than the Traditional version.
About the producer
Taragui Sin Palo comes from Establecimiento Las Marías in Corrientes, Argentina, the world's leading yerba mate producer. Since 1924 they have refined their craft with air-drying technology that eliminates carcinogenic PAHs and preserves purity without agricultural chemicals. Their vertically integrated operation gives them control over every step, from seedbed to packaging, ensuring consistent quality in every sip.
How do you drink Taragui Sin Palo?
Prepare Sin Palo the same way as any other loose yerba mate: fill your gourd three quarters full, tilt it, pour lukewarm water down the side and then add hot water at 70-80°C. Because there are fewer stems, you get a denser, more powdery texture, so a bombilla with a fine filter is preferable. Refill as soon as the flavour fades and count on a richer, more intense experience throughout the day.
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.
