Yerba Mate “ANDRESITO” for TERERÉ – 1.10″ Lbs Bag

For those who are new to “Tereré” (teh-reh-REH), that is the popular expression when Yerba Mate is brewed cold.

The name “Andresito” originates from Comandante Andresito, a historical figure and indigenous leader in Argentina. He played a significant role in the region’s history, particularly during the early 19th century when he fought against Portuguese invasions in the Misiones province. The town of Comandante Andresito, where the yerba mate is produced, is named in his honor.

Andresito was notable for his efforts to promote the welfare of the indigenous people and for his leadership during a time of conflict and change. The cooperative that produces the yerba mate carries his name to pay tribute to his legacy and connection to the land where the yerba is cultivated. This historical context enriches the brand, linking it to local traditions and the cultural heritage of the region.

Cooperative “Andresito” was founded in 1983 near a natural protected rural zone where the argentinian National Iguazú Park is.

If you don´t like strong yerbas, this one is worth trying.
