Rei Verde Chimarrao Classica is a Brazilian chimarrão sold vacuum-sealed to preserve a vivid green color and aroma. It contains finely ground leaves mixed with a relatively higher amount of coarse branches, requiring a flat bombilla (bomba) for proper filtration. The cup delivers fresh, grassy, wheaty and nettle-like flavors with subtle sweetness and developing tannic notes reminiscent of black tea. It is intended for traditional chimarrão preparation.
