Yerba Mate Review: Taragui Despalada (With Stems)

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.

Aroma

The first aroma that emerges is a classic earthy scent, with subtle hints of dried fruit and fresh grass. It’s the quintessential fragrance, evoking the true essence of a stemmed yerba mate. When you smell it, you know it's the authentic blend.

1st Impressions

After drinking Taragüi with stems, you’ll notice a smooth, earthy flavor from the first sip. There’s a subtle earthy taste, with hints of sour fruit and a slight bread-like flavor. A smoky undertone is present but not overpowering, allowing the tea’s natural flavor to shine. It’s not very sweet, with a simple, balanced taste that would appeal to those who prefer something less extravagant.

After-taste

The aftertaste is relatively short with a slight bitterness, reminiscent of tobacco. It leaves a dry, slightly rough feeling in the mouth, but the bitterness fades quickly, making you want to take another sip.
