Latest Market Information on Mate verte absolute
Jun 24th, 2025
Mate verte absolute, derived from Ilex paraguariensis, continues to be popular in both the fragrance and flavor industries. It has a distinctive dry, green-herbal character with subtle smoky undertones which makes it a sought-after ingredient for complex tea notes, green accords, and wellness-oriented formulations.
The primary producers are Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay although the absolute may be extracted elsewhere. However, challenges such as water availability and shifting labor patterns persist, potentially impacting future harvests. Currently demand is outstripping supply, and it is not clear when this situation might improve.
Description of Mate Verte Absolute
Maté Verte Absolute is prepared via solvent extraction of Ilex paraguariensis leaves, a wild-growing South American tree. In traditional use, these leaves are brewed to make a special tea enjoyed by the inhabitants of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. The aroma of Mate Verte Absolute is rich and herbal, with a strong tea-like character that provides an appealing top note. This odor makes Mate Verte extremely useful within tea and jasmine compositions, providing a leafy and herbaceous contrast to floral and green fragrance.
