La Merced Campo Sur is the lightest, softest, and sweetest expression from Las Marías' premium yerba mate line. Grown in Argentina's southernmost plantations, this flagship blend represents decades of expertise in terroir-focused mate production. It's an exceptional introduction to premium yerba mate that doesn't compromise on depth, delivering exceptional longevity alongside its delicate profile.
What does La Merced Campo Sur taste like?
La Merced Campo Sur tastes distinctly light and delicate with hay and cedar notes alongside subtle dried fruit character reminiscent of apricots and raisins. The flavor is naturally sweet and mellow, featuring delicate roasted sunflower seed undertones and a noticeable lime note with bright, sharp character. When brewed in a traditional gourd, a baked bread note emerges, and the finish is rounded and pleasant without any harshness. The body remains balanced and refined throughout, without ever overwhelming.
About the manufacturer
La Merced comes from Establecimiento Las Marías, one of the world's leading branded yerba mate producers since 1924. Las Marías pioneered the terroir concept in yerba mate production, recognizing that geography shapes flavor just as it does with wine. Campo Sur specifically sources from the southernmost yerba mate plantations in Argentina, where cooler climates produce softer, lighter expressions. The company maintains FSC certification and Rainforest Alliance recognition, ensuring sustainable practices at every stage.
How do you prepare La Merced Campo Sur?
La Merced Campo Sur follows traditional Argentine preparation: fill a mate gourd about two-thirds full with the loose yerba, pour hot water (70-80°C) while blocking some of the mate, insert the bombilla, and drink. This blend shines with its exceptional durability, yielding many refills and developing beautifully as you progress through the day.
