Each batch of Pajarito yerba mate is analyzed in a laboratory and then aged for 20 to 24 months to give the product the unique flavor, aroma, and color that it has. After aging, the product goes through quality control and is then sieved in order to separate remaining sticks. Finally, it is milled and packaged in environmentally friendly packaging.
