The best smoked yerba mate
We import several yerba mate brands and La Merced Barbacuá is our top seller in our online store. The smoky profile is unique in the market. The supplier always meets delivery deadlines and packaging is proper.
Good product, strong flavor
We ordered for our construction site canteen. The barbacuá flavor is quite intense, not everyone liked it because it's very smoky. But the quality is undeniable. Would have preferred a lower minimum order to try first. Dispatch was fast.
Excellent product quality
We purchased a lot of 96 units for resale in São Paulo. The yerba arrived in perfect condition, well sealed and within expiration date. The smoky flavor is authentic and our customers were very satisfied. The only downside is the price, slightly high compared to other brands, but the quality justifies it.
