La Merced Yerba Mate Barbacuá is the kind of yerba that longtime mate drinkers usually recognize right away. It has a smoky, toasted flavor that reminds many of traditional old-style mate preparation in Argentina. Bold, comforting, and perfect for slow mornings or long conversations.

Barbacuá is one of the most distinctive blends from La Merced. The leaves are processed using traditional wood-smoke drying methods, which gives this yerba its deeper smoky character that experienced mate drinkers really appreciate.
