Overview

Air drying instead of wood smoking is what sets this yerba mate apart, giving a cleaner taste without heavy smokiness. The loose blend includes leaf, stem and natural powder, in the traditional Argentine style called con palo.

Mate drinkers get a full bodied, organic loose tea that works in a bombilla and gourd, a French press, an infuser or a percolator. It can be brewed hot or cold. The limitation is that servings per bag are not stated, and the caffeine level depends on how much is used.

Who it's for

A daily mate ritual, a coffee alternative or a pitcher of cold brew all suit this loose tea. The cut includes powder, which some brewing methods will pass through. Drinkers who prefer a smoked style or the convenience of bags should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Air dried, not smoked
  • Traditional leaf, stem and powder blend
  • USDA organic and non-GMO
  • Brews hot or cold
Cons
  • Servings per bag not stated
  • Powder may pass through some filters

Performance notes

Brewing strength sets the caffeine level, so a smaller scoop gives a lighter cup and a larger one a stronger cup. Hot mate steeps in warm, not boiling, water, while cold brewing takes longer in cool water. The powder in the cut builds body, and the stems soften the flavor.
