Yerba Mate Amanda 1 Kg - 2.2 Lb - Argentina

I love the taste of mate

This traditional tea is a great replacement for coffee!

Bien sellado y excelente condicion.

I am rating this 4 stars because it is one of the best values for mate. However, mate is new to me after reading much hype about the caffeine being much healthier than coffee. Take my review as that of a non-mate drinker. I didn’t find the drink enjoyable at all. I prepared mine like regular loose tea and added a little sugar after trying it plain. To my taste buds, this reminded me of green tea with a cigarette butt dipped in it. It isn’t undrinkably smoky, but there wasn’t much pleasant about the taste either. I didn’t notice any surge of energy I felt or a better mood afterward.

The most delicious tea EVER! I am hooked on it in the best of ways... The company I ordered it from, kindly delivered it home with other three single sample servings of Yerba Mate Teas, which I also enjoyed very much. This is now my first choice in hot drinks. The serving size on the bag is off but I figured out that one tablespoon makes one cup serving and the flavor is so rich. I have used different flavorings with it such as organic Ceylon Cinnamon and fresh Ginger then sweetened it either with a little organic maple syrup or honey. It is important to use nice reverse osmosis water, pure clean water, as hot as it can get then let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. It is such an enjoyable experience first thing in the morning.

I enjoy Mate when I can but I wasn't the biggest fan of this Mate

Siempre Amanda ha conservado su sabor...muy buena..de larga duración.me encanta.

I'm a recent convert to mate and have been trying many brands to find THE ONE. This one is not it. I was a drinker of black coffee for decades so I enjoy robust flavors. This mate was very bland in flavor compared to others on my journey. I found it most comparable to the Guayaki that started me out. It reminded me of hay. After having Canarias, Canarias Serena, Rosamonte Especial, La Merced Barbacua, this brand was a big disappointment and I rushed through the kilo so I could order something more flavorful. The stars given are for the caffeine that kept me at least energized and focused.
