Canarias Yerba Mate

Canarias is a premier brand of yerba mate that represents a unique cross-border collaboration in the South American tea market. While it is the most popular brand of yerba mate in Uruguay, the product is actually grown and processed in Brazil. This is because the climate and soil conditions in southern Brazil are ideal for producing the specific flavor profile—characterized by a fine grind without stems (sin palo)—that Uruguayan consumers prefer.

The brand is owned and distributed by Canarias S.A., a company deeply rooted in Uruguayan culture. The manufacturing takes place in Brazil under strict quality standards set by the Uruguayan parent company to ensure the 'Sabores Tradicionales' (Traditional Flavors) are maintained. It remains an independent leader in the yerba mate sector, known for its strong taste and high caffeine content compared to Argentine variants.
