How Yerba Mate Connected Two Worlds
Hi 
We're 🇦🇷 Pablo and 🇹🇭 Kritsana, founders of Latino Secrets.
When I, Pablo, moved to Thailand, I found a new home full of opportunity, kindness, and growth. But as the years passed, I started missing Argentina, especially my family, dulce de leche, and above all — yerba mate.
The idea was born after a family trip to Argentina, where I introduced my Thai wife, Kritsana, to yerba mate for the first time. She loved it — not just the flavor, but the culture and ritual behind it. When we returned to Thailand, we couldn’t find the same authentic experience, so we decided to bring it ourselves.
That’s how Latino Secrets began — not as a business, but as a way to connect cultures and bring something that we love to Thailand.
In the news
What sets us apart?
We know what it's like to crave the real thing.
The bitter-sweet taste, the ritual of preparing a mate, and the joy of sharing it with family and friends.
That’s why we bring only authentic yerba mate from the only 4 countries that truly produce it: 🇦🇷 Argentina, 🇺🇾 Uruguay, 🇵🇾 Paraguay, and 🇧🇷 Brazil.
"No weird blends. No shortcuts. Just 100% real yerba mate, exactly as it’s made back home — from brands we trust and love"
We guarantee
- 100% authentic products — directly imported from source and never altered or blended.
- Honest information — we provide unbiased, fact-checked insights about yerba mate. We won’t make unreasonable health claims or promote miracle benefits. We aim to share clear, honest knowledge without the hype.
- Educational content — from how to prepare mate to how it’s grown and produced. We stay closely connected with the best sources of information — like INYM (National Yerba Mate Institute of Argentina) and real manufacturers in South America — to ensure everything we share is accurate and meaningful.
Real Connections
We believe yerba mate is much more than just a drink — it's an invitation to connect. Whether shared among family in Argentina or introduced at a Thai cultural event, mate brings people together in a way few things can.
Since 2022, we’ve proudly partnered with the Embassy of Argentina in Thailand to bring mate to local events — from art exhibitions and coffee gatherings to polo tournaments. Seeing Thais enjoy their first sip with friends and family reminds us why we do this.
