Chimarrão Erva-Mate Barão de Cotegipe - 1kg - Yerba Mate - LondonWeek®

My favourite erva-mate! Bets solution for a southern Brazilian living abroad. Quick delivery.

Very good quality, deliver was great, no damage on package what could destroy the experience.

One of the best herb to a nice ‘chimarrão’, this ‘erva-mate’ is not so suitable for a cold têre-têre, it's more for a traditional chimarrão, with hot water and you can also add other teas together such as: chamomile, fennel, mint, orange peel, ...

This is different than your normal Yerba Mate as it is a lot finer, found it hard to use / drink it in a gourd with bomilla, maybe I need a Brazilian girlfriend to teach me.Not to be too disheartened I used a french press then poured it into my gourd, happy with it now.Safe to say come a sunny day you could bottle half this and half water with a touch of sweetness of your choice.Chilled Chimarrao 8²) (Boom)

This is a product that I usually buy in the Brazilian markets around London (the same brand!), this time I was quite short of time and decided to give a go on the Amazon one. 40% more expensive than usual, the product that should be vacuum sealed (like a ground coffee pack) was partially open (two small cuts probably due to poor handling/storage). It might seem over care but the contact with air makes the product go dry and tastes like it is overdue. I bought two packets and both had the same problem, so I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Next time I will find time and buy the usual in a market in town!

People complaining that the grains are too small are probably trying to make tea or "Tereré", for which this is not meant. For the original Chimarrao this is exactly what you need!

Nice taste but it's almost a dust only, hard to drink with traditional bombilla - dust is getting inside and you drink it with dust or its getting clog
