Yerba Mate Playadito 1000g

best argentinian yerba!! not so strong flavor

Good product

I'm new to yerba mate but I've enjoyed this. Trying to cut out the energy drinks. Don't get much of a kick from this but my caffeine tolerance is quite high. Watched some youtube videos to learn how to make it. Don't know if it's sacrilege, but I also enjoy putting some in a french press and letting it steep overnight in the fridge, very smooth and no bitterness. Random side note, it taste like the hay barn, and being stuck in a city now I find that comforting.

Being a full-fledged, raised in New York, currently living in Florida, coffee addict, and 100% gringo, I must say that I have gladly adopted Yerba Mate as my beverage of choice. Most days, I only drink mate. If I need an extra pick-me-up, I'll also have a cup of Joe in the early afternoon. But I have found, undoubtedly, that the energy supplied by my morning mate is superior in all ways to coffee. The South Americans are on to something here. When I was first introduced to Yerba, it reminded me of a big bag of MJ, and I was just hesitant to try it. Gringos believe that tea should be in bags. Luckily, I finally trusted a few fine (and one not so fine) lady friends from Uruguay and Argentina, and now I am hooked. Do not take Huberman's word for it, as he still pronounces it like a gringo. Argentines say "Sherba" and the a is pronounced "ah." it's not "Yer-bah Maa-tay" Come on now, respect the tradition. At any rate, I have tried several brands, including gourmet ones from Argentina, and Playadito is my my go-to. It is readily available in the states, and is mild tasting. Sometimes I add allulose, which is the only artificial sweetener I use, but most times I drink it unsweetened. Bitter foods are good for appetite control and weight loss, para gringoes de gordo. Entiendo? Ciao. Toma mate con gusto!

I normally order another brand but I thought I would give this a try. It's a good mate with a nice subtle flavor

La mejor yerba de Argentina. Excelente sabor y calidad. Un gusto exquisito.

Tasty tea. Smooth taste. Not as smokey as other Herba Mate teas. Not sure about caffeine content but definitely lower than average cup of coffee.

Great value … great price… great classic taste
