La Merced Campo Sur is the lightest, softest and sweetest expression in the premium yerba mate line from Las Marías. It is grown on Argentina's southernmost plantations and reflects decades of expertise in mate production. It is an exceptional introduction to premium yerba mate that gives up nothing in depth.
What does La Merced Campo Sur taste like?
La Merced Campo Sur tastes strikingly light and refined, with notes of hay and cedar alongside subtle hints of dried fruit reminiscent of apricots and raisins. The flavour is naturally sweet and mild, with delicate undertones of toasted sunflower seeds and a distinct lime note carrying a fresh, lively sharpness. Prepared in a traditional gourd, a nuance of baked bread also emerges, while the finish stays round and pleasant without any harshness. The body remains balanced and refined throughout the session and never overwhelms, even after 20-30 refills.
About the producer
La Merced comes from Establecimiento Las Marías, since 1924 one of the world's leading producers of yerba mate brands. Las Marías introduced the concept of terroir to the yerba mate world, recognising that geography shapes flavour just as it does in wine. Campo Sur is harvested specifically on Argentina's southernmost yerba mate plantations, where the cooler climate produces softer and lighter expressions. The company holds FSC certification and Rainforest Alliance recognition, guaranteeing sustainable practices at every stage.
How do you drink La Merced Campo Sur?
Prepare La Merced Campo Sur using the traditional Argentinian method: fill a gourd about two thirds with the loose yerba, pour in hot water at 70-80°C while holding back part of the yerba, place the bombilla and drink. This blend excels in exceptional longevity, with up to 30 refills or more, and develops beautifully as you keep drinking.
