Ancient tradition and smoky sophistication.

La Merced Barbacuá is for the true connoisseur. Dried using an ancient wood-fire method (Barbacuá) for over 24 hours, this specialty yerba delivers a robust, smoky character and a sophisticated aroma that has been perfected over generations.

 

Why it’s the smart choice:

  • Ancient Barbacuá Method: Traditionally dried over open wood fires to create a distinct, deep, and smoky flavour profile.

  • Extended Natural Aging: Matured for longer periods to balance its robust intensity with a smooth, refined finish.

  • Bold and Unique: A stand-out choice for those who value the craftsmanship of traditional Argentine fire-drying techniques.

  • Specialty Grade: 100% natural and gluten-free, this limited-production variety represents the height of yerba mate excellence and prioritizes quality over mass production.

  • Authentic 500g Format: Sourced and packed in Argentina to guarantee freshness and origin.
Make it part of your ritual

Keep your yerba stored in a dry, airtight container, away from heat and light.
To enjoy its smooth, beginner-friendly flavour, use hot water between 70 °C and 80 °C.
Fill your mate two-thirds of the way, tilt, and pour slowly to wake up the leaves gently.
