Any source of what brands/varieties are smoked vs not?

I’m able to get quite a few types imported from South America, but from my attempts at translating the packaging and trying to Google things, I can’t tell what’s smoked or unsmoked.

Argentinian mate is traditionally smoked so most brands you will find are of the smoked variety. The brazilian version, chimarrão, is traditionally not smoked, so you might start by looking for that.
