## Description

The Best Yerba Mate

Review: The real deal from Argentina! Smooth and delicious. - This product was recommended to me by a friend who is Argentinian. He drinks it by the barrel :-) I have loved Yerba Mate tea since the ‘70s but haven’t had much in a long while. This tea is superb. The flavor is delicious and smooth. This is the real deal from Argentina. I’m so glad I purchased it.
Review: Economical way to enjoy potent yerba mate. - I love yerba mate and I’m trying to wean myself off of energy drinks. I bought this 1 pound+ bag of loose leaf mate and a pack of fillable drawstring tea bags. I’ll probably get 75 to 100 servings from it depending on how I fill the bags. I can barely buy three of the canned mate drinks at the corner store for this price! Upon opening, it was clear that this is fresh and of good quality. It tastes and smells amazing and is not bitter to my pallate. I fill a blank (that’s what I call them) tea bag with a spoonful of mate and steep it upward of 5 minutes in filtered water heated in the electric kettle to about 160F. I add a pinch of brown sugar and I’m on my way! It’s said that mate should generally steep in hot, but not boiling water. The ‘green tea’ or ‘delicate’ settings on my kettle work perfectly. Hot enough to stay warm in my travel mug but not scald myself, and it keeps the tea from becoming bitter. Lower temps also supposedly preserve the good compounds and maximize caffeine release (so ‘they’ say). I’m weirdly excited about this purchase. The tea is good and the wakefulness is far more pronounced than what I get from canned yerba mate drinks, or high sugar energy drinks. Coffee makes me weird and sweaty and unpleasantly manic and can induce what feels like a bloodsugar crash. Yerba mate has always been kind to me even when consuming up to 5 mugs a day (on the rare high end). I try not to have it after late afternoon as it can keep me awake. This is a great way to enjoy yerba mate at a lower cost than buying packs of ready-made tea bags and it’s a WAY better deal than shelling out the daily cost of a pair of canned mate drinks or energy drinks. Get yourself some fillable drawstring tea bags to go with this big bag of tea!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hola! Son dos paquetes de 1 kilo?**
A: Siii son dos paquetes de un kilo !!!! Es muy rica esta Yerba!!

**Q: how much tea should be used to brew an 8 oz cup.  the package says 50 grams per 16.9 oz. but that can't be right.  is this tea really that weak?**
A: I used a French press. In it I put 2 tablespoons of tea with about 16 oz. of water. Of course how long you let it sit makes a difference but in my case it steeped for about 4 minutes and then pushed the plunger down. It was actually a little strong for my taste but close to just right.

**Q: What are the ingredients besides the yerba mate? one reviewer mentioned sugar. do you add additional caffeine from green tea or other sources?**
A: This item - only pure Yerba Mate; this mix of the Yerba Mate includes 'leaf stems' (con palo). There is no added sugar, nor sugar to speak of in leaf and stem and there is no reason to add caffeine. The caffeine content is less than coffee and more like tea, about 40mg/8oz infusion (of course caffeine content for non-decaffeinated infusions (Mate or Teas) depends on brewing time, leaf type, and leaf preparation (e.g., roasting, decaffeinating, etc.) similar to how different coffee beans, grinds, and brewing vary the caffeine in coffee.  Still, in general, a cup of Yerba Mate ranks between coffees and teas in caffeine.

**Q: Is this a unsmoked variety of Yerba Mate?**
A: It is yerba mate, regular yerba mate

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tea
*by B***A on March 10, 2026*

Taste is good with nothing added, kinda like green tea but not bitterness. Also seems to have a lot of caffeine and comes out very concentrated six tablespoon scoops made a whole kettle for me even though instructions said 6 scoops was one serving. If your a heavy tea drinker like me 4+ bags a day this is what you should get! I can't drink coffee because of acidity makes my teeth sensitive.
