Playadito is another Argentinian classic. At first glance this mate may seem like another ordinary con palo (stems included) yerba, but it cannot be further from the truth. Playadito boasts one of the longest durations that you can experience in the world of Argentine yerba mate, along with naturally very sweet taste to soothe your sweet tooth, and long pleasant finish.

Liebig 500g

Liebig Original yerba mate is produced by the popular Playadito brand & Liebig is their premier yerba.

Liebig (Playadito) Original is a very delicate yerba mate that requires a very low (for hot mate) temperature to really shine. I experimented a lot with different temperatures for this mate and came to conclusion that the best water to prepare Liebig is somewhere in range between 55°C to 60°C / 130°F to 140°F. Such low temperature will not burn off the intricate flavors of this mate, but on the flip side you’ll need to steep it a bit inside a gourd for probably around 15-20 seconds. The reason is simple — lower temperature water needs more time to extract flavours from the yerba. I recommend you to use this information as a starting point and experiment yourself to try and find the balance between water temperature and steeping time that would yield in the mate that you enjoy the most.
