A mate that feels honest, grounded, and deeply Argentine. Kalena Traditional Yerba Mate brings you a smooth, balanced experience shaped by time, nature, and tradition.

From the lush lands of Misiones, Kalena Traditional Yerba Mate is crafted with care using time-honored methods that define authentic Argentine mate culture. Produced in agroecological conditions, this yerba reflects a commitment to both quality and sustainability.

Its traditional barbacuá drying process—slowly cured over wood fire—gives it a characteristic depth, while a 12-month natural aging period softens its profile and enhances complexity. The result is a smooth, well-rounded mate with gentle bitterness and evolving flavor.

With each pour, Kalena reveals layers of herbal, earthy, and slightly smoky notes. Whether you’re reconnecting with home or discovering mate for the first time, this is a balanced and approachable choice for everyday enjoyment.
