Yerba Mate Barbacuá Soft 500g Kalena

Description

Herba Mate Barbacuá Suau Kalena is a missionary mate tea made using the traditional Barbacuá system, a slow dehydration method that gives the product its characteristic aromatic profile and slightly smoky notes. This edition stands out for having larger leaves, a low dust content and a low presence of stems, with a canchada-type cut that preserves the traditional character of the plant.

Kalena was born from a family project linked to the production of mate tea since 1977. Its production is carried out at the San Demetrio establishment, in the Argentine province of Misiones, one of the regions historically linked to the cultivation of this plant. The brand works under sustainable production criteria, seeking correct management of agroecosystems and preserving the natural resources of the soil.

After harvesting and the Barbacuá process, the mate tea goes through a period of maturation in suitable tanks. This process allows it to reach the consumer at its ripeness point, maintaining its natural properties, aroma and characteristic flavour. The result is a mate herb with a soft and generous profile, with the smoky notes typical of this traditional production system.

To prepare it, the manufacturer recommends filling approximately three-quarters of the mate with Kalena herb, covering it, inverting it and shaking it to one side. Then, you must keep the herb tilted, add a little warm water to the space generated, let it hydrate and insert the bombilla into the humid area. Then you can gradually add hot water without wetting all the herb at once.

According to the information provided by the brand, this variety stands out for its softness and for not producing acidity. It is a proposal specially designed for people looking for a mate herb of sustainable production, made with a traditional method and with a balanced aromatic profile.
