Close your eyes and take a sip—it’s the taste of long conversations, shared rituals, and authentic mate culture.
Canarias Traditional delivers a bold, unmistakable flavor that mate lovers around the world recognize instantly.

Canarias Yerba Mate Traditional is one of the most iconic yerbas in Uruguay, known for its intense flavor, fine cut, and long-lasting performance. Carefully crafted using 100% Ilex paraguariensis leaves, this blend reflects a deep-rooted South American tradition.

The leaves are sourced from the rich natural regions of southern Brazil, where climate conditions allow for optimal growth. After harvesting, the yerba undergoes a controlled aging process of 4 to 6 months, helping develop its signature robust body and complex flavor profile.

Unlike coarser blends, Canarias features a fine grind with a balanced composition of leaf, powder, and stems. This creates a stronger, fuller infusion that lasts through multiple pours—perfect for those who enjoy long mate sessions.

Whether you're reconnecting with your roots or discovering mate for the first time, this is a true expression of Uruguayan mate culture.

This yerba is ideal for experienced mate drinkers who appreciate a bold and full-bodied flavor.

For Argentines and Uruguayans living abroad, it brings back the ritual of sharing mate—whether at home, work, or with friends.

For international customers, it’s a great introduction to authentic South American mate, especially for those curious about stronger, traditional profiles.

Fill your mate gourd about ¾ full with yerba. Tilt slightly and add a bit of warm water to moisten the base. Insert the bombilla and slowly pour hot water (75–80°C / 167–176°F).

For cold preparation (tereré), use ice-cold water for a refreshing version.

Tip: Due to its fine grind, let the yerba settle before inserting the bombilla to avoid clogging.
