The result is a smoother infusion that develops gradually and remains balanced across multiple pours, making it ideal for both everyday drinkers and newcomers to mate.The yerba is naturally dried and aged for a minimum of 12 months, a process known as estacionamiento, which allows the flavor to mature and soften.
