Yerba Mate Kalena Tradicional 500 g

An Argentine speciality from Apostoles in the province of Misiones, Argentina. An outstanding variety that combines traits typical of Paraguayan and Argentine mate.

The leaves look like a typical mate from Argentina, but don't be fooled, it's only an illusion. Once you pour them into the matero (mate gourd) and treat them properly with water, it shows its claws. All thanks to the traditional drying method in the secado phase, called Barbacua. This process gives the leaves a Paraguayan character: you can taste strongly smoky notes and a rich flavour that spreads across your taste buds.

Kalena Tradicional is an Elaborada con palo, i.e. a mate containing about 70% leaves and up to 30% stems. The processing method is considered artisanal (in Spanish "elaboracion artesanal"), which leaves its mark on the flavour of this mate. It is extremely intense and stays in your memory for a long time. In my opinion, however, you should keep an eye on the water temperature for the first infusion, which should not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. This way you avoid scalding the leaves, which would then not release their full flavour. A first infusion with cooler water guarantees the right experience. Subsequent infusions are made with water at about 70 degrees Celsius.

Kalena Elaborada con palo consists of fairly coarsely cut leaves and stems of Paraguayan holly. The pack contains practically no dust or finer particles of mate. Kalena, or Kalina (the brand was founded by immigrants from regions including Ukraine), is a mate with a pleasant bitterness, a taste reminiscent of bread crust, nutty notes and even the scent of potatoes baked in a campfire. There is no shortage of woody notes, light herbaceous ones and a puckering feeling on the tongue. It is definitely a mate with character.

Produced without artificial fertilisers or so-called agrotoxins. This guarantees an excellent flavour at a very affordable price. It's hard to walk past this novelty. It can be recommended both to beginners who aren't afraid of bitterness and an intense infusion, and to experienced fans looking for something extra in their mate. Kalena Tradicional will leave you content.
