Playadito Traditional is a smooth, naturally sweet yerba mate from Argentina's heritage-driven Cooperativa Liebig. With nearly a century of cooperative expertise behind it, this classic blend delivers an exceptionally balanced profile that works perfectly for anyone new to mate or seeking an approachable, calming experience.
What does Playadito Traditional taste like?
Playadito Traditional tastes remarkably sweet and mellow for a yerba mate, with distinct notes of honey, sugar cane, and sweet tobacco undertones. The flavor profile is smooth and naturally mild with subtle floral attributes reminiscent of green tea, woody notes, and a clean finish without harshness. Despite its gentle sweetness, it never feels artificial or overly sugary, the taste comes directly from the plant itself through traditional processing and 12-month minimum aging.
About the manufacturer
Playadito is produced by Cooperativa Agrícola de la Colonia Liebig, founded in 1926 by German, Ukrainian, and Polish immigrant families in Corrientes Province, Argentina. The cooperative is now one of Argentina's oldest and most respected yerba mate producers, maintaining membership with 130+ associated agricultural producers and producing 36 million kilograms of processed product yearly. In 2015, Playadito began major expansion, partnering with supermarket chains across Buenos Aires and launching exports to China and beyond.
How do you prepare Playadito Traditional?
Playadito Traditional is prepared in the classic Argentine style: fill a traditional mate gourd about two-thirds full with the loose yerba, then pour hot water (70-80°C) over it while blocking some of the mate with your thumb. Insert your bombilla and enjoy!
