Smoky, bold, and full of character — La Merced Barbacuá is yerba mate with a personality. Harvested in Argentina and traditionally smoked over a wood fire (the “barbacuá” method), this yerba delivers a deep, earthy flavor with warm woody and toasted notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.
Tasting notes
Rich, smoky aroma with hints of toasted wood and dark herbs
Robust, full-bodied flavour that pairs well with milk, sugar, or honey
Clean finish with a subtle, pleasant bitterness and long-lasting warmth
Why you’ll love it
Great for mate lovers who enjoy intense, smoked profiles
Perfect for sharing in a gourd with friends or sipping solo to wake up the senses
Pairs well with grilled foods, chocolate, or pastries — brings cozy, homey vibes
How to prepare
Traditional: Fill a gourd 2/3 with yerba, tilt to create a slope, add cool water to settle the leaves, then top with hot water (not boiling) and sip through a bombilla.
Modern: Brew 1–2 teaspoons per cup with hot water (≈70–80°C / 160–175°F) for a rich infusion; adjust steep time to taste.
