Mate Factor Organic Yerba Mate, Original Fresh Green, 12 Ounce

I love this tea! I recently switched to this instead of coffee. I have purchased this at a health food store before, but I have to travel 45 miles to buy it there. This bag from Amazon was equally delicious.

This product was great quality, and arrived earlier than expected. There are also so many servings per bag

This is such high quality green mate, (you can find out why on their website), it converted me from chimarrao which I thought could never happen. One thing to note is that mate is not like black or green tea in that it doesn't get bitter or stewed the longer it's in the water. The opposite in fact. Bitterness is more a function of the initial water temperature, I like 160F but you could go even lower. If you're interested in a deeper or richer flavor without going to a gourd, you can try a few things besides using more mate. Easiest is to add a small amount of cold water to the leaves first to open them up. You can also grind the leaves a little finer (gently, by hand is better for avoiding powder than by machine) to get both deeper flavor and more body. Finally, most effective is put the leaves in cold water in a glass jar ahead of the brew time, put this in the fridge if it's the night before, then heat this gently in a waterbath to temperature in the morning. This, along with prior grinding, gives a cup with a more intense and longer taste, and at 160F, 1-2T per 6 ounces of water, a great lingering sweetness to the finish.

This brand was recommended and I have been enjoying it. I weaned myself off coffee as I was having gastric issues and some heart beat irregularities. Now I do decaf coffee on most days but if I need an energy boost, I drink the Yerba Mate but without any ill effects. The energy from this is also not as intense as coffee but is still effective and without jitters.

This is my 2nd favorite brand of mate. It's so fresh tasting! Freshest mate I have ever tried. I like to mix it with the Eco Tea brand :)

Tastes good, helps energize me without the coffee crash.

Made my tea in a French press, not a lot of flavor, would say if the color green had a flavor this would be it. Will get try and get used to it. Little difficult getting used to after being a coffee drinker for so long. Haven't been drinking it consistently enough to speak about any health benefits.

This is definitely the best Yerba Mate that I've had. It is consistently very flavorful and makes a delicious tea that gives me energy without a crash later or any jitters. I would certainly recommend it
