| South America?s #1 premium yerba mat? La Merced Yerba Mat? comes from a 10,000+ acre estate in northern Argentina called Las Marias, in an area that used to be inhabited by the Guarani people. It happens to be the perfect place to grow yerba mat?. Ideal climate. Ideal soil. Ideal everything. La Merced Yerba Mat? is cultivated organically with careful attention to soil conservation and zero use of pesticides and herbicides. The leaves of the mat? bush are hand-harvested and naturally aged for 12 months. Natural aging is essential. It adds the finishing touch to La Merced?s clean, smooth, friendly flavor. Las Marias controls the entire process from planting to packaging in Argentina. Las Marias? 75 years of experience is your assurance of a perfect cup of yerba mat?. In 1515, the Spanish conquistadores came to what is now Argentina searching for gold and silver. They found yerba mat? instead. To the indigenous Guarani people of the forest, yerba mat? was everything. It was food. It was drink. It was medicine. The gauchos made yerba mat? their constant companion. After a hard day?s work on the pampas, they gathered around the campfire, put the precious herb (yerba) into a hollowed our gourd (mat?), covered it with hot water, inserted a hollow reed (bombilla), and passed the gourd around so all could share the refreshing beverage. Today, yerba mat? is the favorite drink of many South Americans. It is a way to lift your spirits, start the day, greet guests and share the good times with friends and family. 5 unique flavors Contains antioxidants More polyphenols than green tea Certified organic Original, chai, mint, lemon-ginger, mandarin orange La Merced carefully selects yerba mat? bushes, which grow where the rich, red soil is at its natural best.
