Kraus Organica is the flagship product from this pioneering organic producer, showcasing the distinctive results of their revolutionary air-drying method. Bright, grassy, and beautifully complex, this Organic and Fair Trade certified yerba demonstrates that premium quality and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
What does Kraus Organica taste like?
Kraus Organica tastes intensely grassy with a brightness rarely found in yerba mate, thanks to the brand's smoke-free air-drying process. Orange, fig, and woody undertones emerge as you drink, with subtle floral notes adding complexity. The green character is fresh and herbaceous (almost tea-like), without the bitterness typical of smoked varieties.
About the manufacturer
Kraus is a family-owned business founded in 1894, pioneering certified organic yerba mate in 2001 after recognizing their grandparents had always cultivated using traditional methods without chemicals. Based in Misiones Province, Kraus operates their distinctive air-drying system that preserves natural flavor compounds and color.
How do you prepare Kraus Organica?
Prepare Kraus Organica with water at 65-70°C to capture its delicate green character. Load your gourd with the yerba, insert your bombilla, and fill with warm water to enjoy the fresh herbaceous notes that reward patient, mindful drinking.
Kraus Organica Pure Leaf is a 100% organic, unsmoked and sustainably produced yerba with a fresh and natural taste. This organic unsmoked Argentine yerba consists only of leaves, and thus contains no twigs and virtually no dust.
Kraus is a family business that promotes biodiversity and sustainable agriculture and strictly adheres to the principles of Fair Trade. Instead of being smoked (as happens with most yerba), their yerba is dried using a flowing hot air system. This creates a delicate and mild flavor, making this brand a perfect choice for beginners.

Kraus Silvestre is the brand's mint-infused masterpiece, blending their signature air-dried organic yerba with natural peppermint, pennyroyal, and lemon verbena. This is refreshment in a gourd; perfect for those seeking rejuvenation and cooling properties in a naturally herbal experience.
What does Kraus Silvestre Munt taste like?
Kraus Silvestre tastes pleasantly refreshing with strong, awakening mint that dominates without overpowering the yerba base. The first refill brings surprising complexity, resembling gingerbread with delicate vegetal flavors evoking flowers. The overall profile is mild and soft, with the mint blending beautifully rather than creating an artificial punch.
About the manufacturer

How do you prepare Kraus Silvestre Munt?
Brew Kraus Silvestre with water at 65-70°C, and consider enjoying it chilled for maximum mint refreshment. Pack your gourd and allow the natural mint varieties to infuse fully. This blend is beginner-friendly and works wonderfully for warm-weather enjoyment or as a low-activity companion for reading and relaxation.
Kraus Pionero Suave lives up to its name as the ultimate gateway to yerba mate. Designed specifically for newcomers and gentle palates, this smooth blend features a higher proportion of stems that create a naturally mild experience without sacrificing flavor or that crucial caffeine kick.
What does Kraus Pionero Suave taste like?
Kraus Pionero Suave tastes gently flavored with light, nutty character reminiscent of raw cashews. Warm milk, flour, and subtle woodiness come through, while the aroma brings cedarwood and fresh-cut grass with bright, slightly sweet notes. The overall profile is deliberately underwhelming by design, a soft introduction rather than a bold statement.
About the manufacturer
Pionero comes from Kraus, a family business with over 100 years of heritage in Misiones Province. Their commitment to making yerba mate accessible shows in this blend, which uses their signature air-drying method while emphasizing the natural mildness of stems to create an ideal beginner product.
How do you prepare Kraus Pionero Suave?
Heat water to 65-70°C and fill your gourd three-quarters full with Pionero Suave. The higher stem content makes this very forgiving for preparation, it naturally prevents harshness and bitterness. Enjoy multiple refills; the smooth character persists nicely throughout your session.
