Kraus Yerba Mate Organic with Stems x 500g
Experience the smooth, natural taste of Kraus Organic Yerba Mate, a premium Argentine yerba produced using traditional methods and certified organic ingredients. Carefully cultivated without synthetic pesticides or chemicals, this yerba mate delivers a clean, balanced flavour that reflects the purity of its origin.
Made con palo (with stems), Kraus offers a smoother and softer drinking experience compared to stronger, stem-free yerbas. The addition of stems helps create a more balanced infusion with gentle bitterness, subtle herbal notes, and a naturally refreshing finish, making it ideal for both new and experienced mate drinkers.
Kraus is known for its unique air-drying process, avoiding smoke exposure during production. This results in a cleaner, lighter flavour profile without the heavy smokiness often found in traditionally dried yerba mate. The result is an exceptionally smooth and easy-drinking mate perfect for daily enjoyment.
