Mate &
Lemongrass
PUERTO MATE Mate & lemon grass – that's real Cold Brew Mate from South America. Refined with lemongrass, the Mate tereré style is a particularly refreshing addition to your everyday life. True to the motto: If life gives you lemongrass... make PUERTO MATE.
Tereré
Real as it gets
PUERTO MATE is like a sunrise by the sea, a swim under a waterfall or a journey to a faraway land – refreshingly real. A Mate as energising and stimulating as the South Americans have been enjoying it in convivial gatherings for centuries. And we truly mean when we say original cold-brew Mate – because the so-called tereré is traditionally cold-brewed on hot summer days.
Genuinely South American
Raw materials
For our PUERTO MATE we use only the best ingredients – and they mainly come from South America. The subtropical climate and the particularly fertile soil allow the Yerba Mate to grow under the best conditions and ensure the highest quality. We are particularly proud of our Mate - because it is a specially created variety and comes from our plantation in Puerto Esperanza. That is why only one name came into question for our Mate: PUERTO MATE.
Really original
Origin
On 25 September 1926, the Swiss agronomist and engineer Gustavo Keller, accompanied by Alfonso Scherer, Enrique O. Bucher and Gustavo Ernst, travelled to Puerto Esperanza in Argentina, a traditional Yerba Mate cultivation area. Using special agricultural techniques, they succeeded in cultivating the stimulating plant, which not only laid the foundation for PUERTO MATE, but also for a town with almost 18,000 inhabitants today.
