When Union launched in 1982, they revolutionized the yerba mate market by creating the first "suave" (smooth) mate, proving that authentic Argentine mate doesn't have to punch you in the mouth. Union Traditional is the accessible everyday option: smooth, balanced, and designed to let you enjoy mate throughout the day without overwhelming your palate.

What does Union Traditional taste like?

Union Traditional has a smooth and balanced flavor profile that's initially pleasant with surprising character underneath. You'll find subtle citrus notes dancing with floral and soil notes, while hints of wood and nuttiness create a rounded, approachable taste. The aroma is sweet, rich, and thick with floral undertones and dry fruity notes, one of the most complex aromas in the Union lineup. There's mild bitterness, cereal undertones, and even honey notes that make this mate-drinking experience gentle and enjoyable.

Las Marías controls everything from seedbed selection to final packaging, using biological products instead of pesticides and maintaining FSC certification for sustainable forestry. When Union was created in 1982, it marked the first yerba mate specifically engineered to be smooth and mild, changing the market forever.
