Over 100 years of family expertise goes into every package of Amanda Traditional. This classic yerba mate from La Cachuera S.A. in Apóstoles, Misiones represents the authentic Argentine tradition: balanced, smooth, and surprisingly sweet. Amanda Traditional is the reliable everyday option for daily drinking.
What does Amanda Traditional taste like?
Amanda Traditional has a smooth, woody, and surprisingly sweet character that sets it apart from bolder Argentine options. The lovely woody aroma carries bright notes of cake batter and vanilla, while on the palate you'll find smooth gentle notes of wood and hay with a nice hint of bread, progressing to nutty tastes and subtle plant-like flavors. Sweet pleasant notes of caramel, popcorn, cereal, and sugar cane emerge as you continue drinking, with faint sweetness growing stronger with each sip. You get classic Argentinian hay-like and earthy notes throughout, not very bitter, pleasant and relatively mild overall.
About the manufacturer
Amanda is produced by La Cachuera S.A., a family operation founded in the 1920s by Polish immigrant Juan Szychowski in Apóstoles. Argentina's national capital of yerba mate. The company operates plantations on properties called La Negrita and Santa María, using ecological practices with practically no agrochemicals and organic fertilizers throughout. A dedicated laboratory and team of professionals maintain consistent quality levels..
