Taragüi is a yerba mate brand from Las Marías, a popular company in Argentina founded in 1924. With years of experience in producing high-quality yerba mate, Taragüi Despalada offers a strong flavor while maintaining the balanced taste that Taragüi is known for.
The aroma is noticeably different from the version with stems. It still has the dry tobacco scent, but it is followed by a hint of dried plum and other dried fruits, giving the overall fragrance more depth and making it more inviting than the stemmed version.
The flavor is bold and clear from the first sip, with earthy and smoky notes standing out. The stronger taste compared to the stemmed version makes it more intriguing and complex, inviting further exploration.
The aftertaste is quite strong, with the tobacco flavor lingering on the tongue for a while. The tea taste fades slowly, leaving a dry, rough feeling. The earthy notes persist longer than expected, with no sweetness to balance it out.
This is pure leaf yerba mate with no stems mixed in. The leaves are finely ground, with a mix of dark and light green. Since there are no stems or tea dust, it may be harder to create the traditional "mountain" when brewing the tea. The stems and dust help the tea leaves bind together, so using just the leaves can lead to a more intriguing flavor, but it requires more technique when brewing. The mountain will collapse more easily compared to the stemmed version.
The flavor is stronger and provides a better energy boost compared to Taragüi Con Palo. Being made from pure leaves, the taste is more complex, with a full-bodied flavor that lingers in the mouth. It carries a hint of tobacco but finishes smoothly, making it ideal for those who need a high level of alertness.
