La Merced Original del Campo is one of the signature yerba mate expressions from Las Marías, created to highlight a smoother and more origin-driven interpretation of Argentine yerba mate. Part of the premium La Merced range, this blend is positioned around the character of open-field cultivation, reflecting the traditional agricultural landscapes of northeastern Argentina.
Produced from carefully selected Ilex paraguariensis leaves, it undergoes the classic yerba mate process of harvesting, drying, aging, and blending under Las Marías’ vertically integrated production system. Compared with stronger, more intensely bitter yerba mate styles, Original del Campo is known for a more balanced and approachable profile.
In the cup, it typically delivers a clean vegetal character with gentle herbal bitterness, subtle woody nuances, mild toasted notes, and a smooth, persistent finish. The blend is designed to emphasize harmony and drinkability rather than aggressive intensity, making it suitable for both experienced mate drinkers and those exploring premium Argentine yerba mate.
As part of the La Merced collection, it reflects Las Marías’ focus on expressing different terroir-inspired mate styles within a more refined product line.
