In spring 2020 I lived in Southern Brazil for several months and tasted dozens of ervas throughout my journey. Some superlight, others super-robust. What drew me to Cultyvada Chimarrão was the perfect balance between bold and ethereal. Rich malt bounces off sweet and subtle green and floral flavors, achieving a gorgeous balance in your cuia.
Playful and fun vibes, for sure. In both passion and character, here’s an erva that encapsulates the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul with great precision. Journey with me and close your eyes and see all the hands, farms, weather, land and passion that carefully went into each pack.
This isn’t an erva, it’s a portal to another world where erva reigns supreme, proud and resolute.
Brewing Instructions
Brew for 3–5 minutes in hot water (150–170ºF, 65ºC–76ºC) to achieve a full-bodied flavor. For a brighter, cleaner taste, brew in cold water. Optionally, use a traditional yerba mate cup (or cuia) and bombilla/bomba (filtered straw) until the flavor fades. Add a touch of honey for sweetness. Enjoy!
