Playadito Traditional is a soft, naturally sweet yerba mate from the heritage-rich Argentinian Cooperativa Liebig. With nearly a century of cooperative expertise behind it, this classic blend delivers an exceptionally balanced profile that is perfect for anyone new to mate or looking for an approachable, calming experience.
What does Playadito Traditional taste like?
Playadito Traditional tastes remarkably sweet and mild for a yerba mate, with clear notes of honey, sugar cane and subtle undertones of sweet tobacco. The flavour profile is soft and naturally gentle, with refined floral nuances reminiscent of green tea, woody tones and a clean finish without sharpness. Despite the soft sweetness it never feels artificial or overly sugary; the flavour comes straight from the plant itself, thanks to traditional processing and a minimum of 12 months of ageing.
About the producer
Playadito is produced by Cooperativa Agrícola de la Colonia Liebig, founded in 1926 by German, Ukrainian and Polish immigrant families in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. The cooperative has since become one of the oldest and most respected yerba mate producers in Argentina, with more than 130 affiliated agricultural producers and an annual output of 36 million kilos of yerba mate.
How do you drink Playadito Traditional?
You prepare Playadito Traditional the classic Argentinian way: fill a traditional gourd about two thirds with the loose yerba and then pour hot water at 70-80°C over it.

The classic expression of Rosamonte: a highly balanced, deep classic Argentinian mate flavour that comes from 12 months of ageing. Powerful without being harsh, complex without being overwhelming — Rosamonte Tradicional is the choice for experienced drinkers who value authentic smoky character and traditional Argentinian culture.
What does Rosamonte Tradicional taste like?
Rosamonte Tradicional has a highly balanced, deep classic Argentinian mate flavour, with a moderately sharp and dusty aroma carrying strong natural notes of dry wood, hay and a lightly sour character. The first impression can surprise newcomers, but once your palate adjusts, this mate reveals soft and sweet opening notes, a light pleasant bitterness, fitting fresh-sour nuances and a smoky, woody character reminiscent of black tea and dough.
About the producer
Rosamonte Tradicional is produced using the barbacuá method, the oldest traditional drying technique for yerba mate, used by the Guaraní people, in which the leaves are exposed to the heat of a wood fire for 12-24 hours — the source of that characteristic smoky flavour. Rosamonte was founded in 1936 by Demetrio Hreñuk and today runs one of the most modern drying facilities in the industry, with an advanced quality laboratory and mechanised production that ensure consistent quality.
How do you drink Rosamonte Tradicional?
Fill your gourd about two thirds to three quarters with Rosamonte Tradicional, tilt it and add lukewarm water down the sloped side. Then add hot water at around 70°C to bring out the deep, balanced flavour at its best. You can count on roughly 15 refills before the mate loses its flavour.
CBSE Guarana (also known as Energia) combines yerba mate with guaraná extract for an extra energising blend with herbal and citrus notes. This variety consists of 63% yerba mate, supplemented with poleo, lemon verbena, guaraná extract and natural menthol, and makes for a stimulating drink for anyone looking for an extra energy boost alongside a pleasant flavour. Guaraná is traditionally used for its invigorating properties and complements the natural caffeine content of yerba mate nicely.
What does CBSE Guarana taste like?
CBSE Guarana tastes herbal and citrusy, with energising guaraná notes and softening undertones of poleo and lemon verbena. The natural menthol aroma brings freshness and a refreshing character, while the guaraná adds a pronounced flavour alongside the yerba mate base. The overall profile stays nicely balanced, with warm, lightly herbal and stimulating notes without becoming aggressive or overwhelming. The herbal base keeps the drink from tasting purely medicinal and preserves a real, enjoyable flavour experience alongside the functional benefits.
About the producer
Guarana grows out of CBSé's commitment to functional innovation within yerba mate. The company uses guaraná extract and combines it with carefully selected herbs (poleo, cedrón or lemon verbena, and natural menthol) to create a blend with added invigorating properties. The product is gluten-free and produced in Argentina to certified standards, underlining CBSé's reputation for quality across its full range of functional drinks.
How do you drink CBSE Guarana?
You prepare CBSE Guarana the same way as other flavoured CBSé varieties: fill your gourd two thirds with the blend, pour in hot water at 70-75°C, place the bombilla and drink. The energising formula is at its best at the recommended temperature for optimal flavour extraction. This variety is especially popular in the morning or afternoon when you need an extra lift, but it suits any moment when you could use extra focus and refreshment.

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.

It finishes with hints of lemon and butter, giving a simple, balanced flavour that appeals to anyone who prefers a less assertive profile.

Fill your gourd about three quarters with Taragui Traditional, then tilt it and pour lukewarm water down the tilted side.

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.

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.

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.
