Canarias Tradicional is Uruguay's best-selling yerba mate and represents the peak of Uruguayan mate excellence, with a powerful, full flavour. This yerba has a finely cut despalada style (without stems) and delivers strong, long-lasting infusions thanks to traditional barbacuá drying and 4-6 months of ageing. Its characteristic powder-rich composition is what produces the explosive flavour and invigorating effect that made Canarias the most dominant mate brand in Uruguay.
What does Canarias Traditional taste like?
Canarias Tradicional tastes powerful and pronounced, earthy and dusty, with notes of roasted nuts and toast balanced by a pleasant sweetness and rich shades of dark chocolate. The aroma is very woody and herbal, with a rich, dark earthiness and fresh notes of hay that together create an aged, fragrant complexity. The flavour offers a strong, bitter and earthy character with a light natural sweetness and a soft, clean, refreshing finish that stays remarkably well balanced despite the intensity.
About the producer
Canarias is produced by CAFES LA VIRGINIA S.A. in Uruguay and manufactured by Baldo S.A. in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, with leaves grown in the Brazilian states of Santa Catarina, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. The name Canarias refers to the significant historical emigration of Canary Islanders to Uruguay, who were taken up as "the founding families in the formation of Uruguay".
How do you drink Canarias Traditional?
You prepare Canarias Tradicional the same way as other yerba mate: fill your gourd two thirds with the finely cut despalada yerba, pour in hot water at 70-80°C, place the bombilla and drink. Ideally you drink this through a bombilla with a very fine filter, since the fine, powdery composition can clog traditional bombillas.
