Cooperative Agricola de la Colonia Liebig
Since the end of the 19th century, successive contingents of immigrants have arrived in Argentina in search of peace and work. Among them, a large group of Germans, especially agricultural producers, settled in the north-eastern part of the province of Corrientes.
They were joined by other immigrants who had already settled in the south of the province of Misiones, in the town of Apóstoles; this group of people was the basis of the model of cooperative societies as a form of organisation of the solidarity economy.
This is how the Colonia Liebig Ltda. agricultural cooperative was founded, which today, on its 95th anniversary, is made up of 126 associated producers who have fulfilled the dream of these immigrants.
With an annual production of 36,000 tons of processed product ,the Playadito brand, is the leader in the Argentine market, and is present in 12 countries.
1 – Yerba Mate PLAYADITO 1 Kg, 500Gr, 250Gr
In its traditional version, Playadito yerba mate contains raw material from the crops of the entire yerba mate production area of Argentina, including the north-eastern part of the province of Corrientes, where Colonia Liebig is located, and the province of Misiones, where there are 7 dryers. The yerba mate “canchada” is ground after a minimum of 12 months of rest. The result is a maté with a rich, sweet taste that is characteristic of the brand. It is particularly suitable for people who are used to consuming mate and who are generally looking for sweet and persistent flavours throughout its tasting.

This product allows you to enjoy a delicious mate, thanks to its flavour, aroma and colour.

Its packaging is made of special materials to preserve its properties and protect the product, especially from external humidity.
