The site is up: every Irish yerba price in one table

argentina.ie starts with a simple observation: the same bag of yerba mate can cost twice as much depending on which Irish shop you happen to open first. There was no way to check, so we built one.

What is live today

A yerba mate price comparison for Ireland. We went through every shop in the country that sells yerba, product by product, and built a table sorted by price per kilo, with the delivery charge and free-shipping threshold shown alongside. Every price is checked by hand and carries a visible date.

Some of what that turned up:

The same Taragüí Sin Palo 500 g ranged from €6.40 to €10.33 across four shops — a 61% spread on an identical bag.
Canarias 500 g ranged from €6.40 to €15.50. That is 142%.
The cheapest kilo in Ireland was €9.99 on Amazon.ie — but only if you buy three bags to clear the €25 free-delivery threshold. Buy one kilo on its own and no shop in the country gets it to you under about €17.
A 1 kg bag beats two 500 g bags on price per kilo at every single shop, without exception.

Guides for yerba newcomers, because most Irish readers arrive at mate through a curious colleague rather than a supermarket shelf:

What is yerba mate — the plant, the taste, the caffeine, the ritual, and the one health point that actually matters.
How to prepare mate — the gourd method, plus French press and teabag versions that need no gear.
Best yerba for beginners — by taste profile, not by hype.
Where to buy yerba mate in Ireland.

Plus shop reviews with genuine pros and cons for each one.

There is also a Spanish section for Argentinians living in Ireland, with guides to the working holiday visa, PPS numbers, bank accounts and renting.

How we work

Prices are checked by hand and dated. No scraping, no stale feeds. If a price is old, the date says so.
We do not fill gaps with guesses. Two Irish shops that rank for “mate” turned out to stock no Argentinian brands at all — so we say that, rather than padding the table.
Affiliate links never change the ranking. Some links here earn us a commission. The table sorts on price, always, and right now the shops that pay us nothing sit at the top because they are cheaper. Full detail on the affiliate disclosure page.

What is coming

Per-brand pages — the cheapest Taragüí, Rosamonte, Playadito and Canarias in Ireland, each on its own page.
A wider directory of Argentinian businesses and community groups.
Price alerts by email — one short message when a price drops. Not live yet.

Tell us when we are wrong

Prices move, shops change their shipping, products go out of stock. If you see a price that differs from ours, let us know and we will re-check it. The date next to every price is there so you can hold us to it.

Thanks for reading.
