Barao

Barao Tradicional is the foundational line of this respected Brazilian brand, delivering authentic chimarrão that built Barao's reputation across South Brazil. Fine, powdery, and bright green, this is real Brazilian mate, fresh, delicate, and ready to drink immediately after drying.

What does Barao Tradicional taste like?

Barao Tradicional tastes fresh and herbal with a lightly toasted character and soft, slow opening notes. The grassy flavor leads, developing a bold punch as you continue drinking, then finishing with subtle hazelnut and faint iodine character. The profile is mild overall with gentle complexity that rewards patient preparation.

About the manufacturer

The company uses conveyor belt dryers with zero smoke contact, preserving the brilliant bright green color and fresh aroma that define authentic Brazilian chimarrão.

How do you prepare Barao Tradicional?

Prepare Barao Tradicional with water heated to 70-80°C, not boiling. Pack your gourd two-thirds to three-quarters full with the powdery mate, insert a spoon-shaped bombilla with a fine filter, and enjoy up to15 refills before the flavor exhausts.
