Kraus Organica is the calling card of this pioneering organic producer and shows the distinctive results of their revolutionary air-drying method. Fresh, grassy and beautifully complex, this EU-certified organic and Fair Trade yerba proves that top quality and environmentally conscious production go together perfectly.
What does Kraus Organica taste like?
Kraus Organica tastes intensely grassy, with a freshness you rarely find in yerba mate, thanks to the brand's smoke-free air-drying process. As you drink, undertones of orange, fig and wood come forward, while subtle floral notes add extra complexity. The green character is fresh and herbal, almost tea-like, without the bitterness typical of smoke-dried mate.
About the producer
Kraus is a family business founded in 1894 that became a pioneer in certified organic yerba mate in 2001, after realising that their grandparents had always grown it the traditional way without chemicals. Working out of the province of Misiones, Kraus uses a distinctive air-drying system that preserves natural flavours and colour.
How do you drink Kraus Organica?
Prepare Kraus Organica with water at 65-70°C to bring out the delicate green character at its best. Fill your gourd, set your bombilla at an angle and enjoy the fresh, herbal notes that reward patient, attentive drinking.
Kraus Organica Pure Leaf is the premium refinement of Kraus's signature organic blend. With stems and dust removed entirely, only hand-selected leaves remain, giving a dust-free, elegant drinking experience that is as pure as it is complex.
What does Kraus Organica Pure Leaf taste like?
Kraus Organica Pure Leaf tastes clear and herbal with a pronounced grassy character, while notes of roasted hazelnut and raw sunflower seeds add extra depth. A fresh, earthy undertone keeps the profile nicely balanced and delivers a clean, soft flavour with no dusty or powdery texture. The experience is refined and more intense than the con palo version, without giving up any complexity.
About the producer

Prepare Kraus Pure Leaf with water at 65-70°C for a perfect result. Fill your gourd with the pure leaves, place your bombilla, add the water and experience the clean, dust-free drinking. The refined processing produces a soft, bright green infusion that develops beautifully as you keep drinking.

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

Located in Misiones Province, Kraus sources complementary mint and botanical varieties through their sustainable network, carefully proportioning each blend to achieve perfect balance.

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.
