Rosamonte Traditional Yerba Mate Con Palo (With Stems) 1kg (2.2lbs)

Very well packed and fresh tea

Tastes great

Great Mate, gives you lots of healthy energy,

I've been a fan of Rosamonte yerba mate for years, but since moving to a different state, I can't find it in any stores. This brand is quality. The taste is strong and potent, and because it's loose tea, you can make it as strong or as light as you want. You can use a French press, brew it in the coffee machine, use your own tea bags, or make it the traditional way. However you make it, I don't think you will be disappointed with this brand.

I got turned on to Yerba Mate tea by a friend. I decided to order some of my own. I was happy to receive the product relatively quickly (a little over a week, but it was shipped from Argentina). I opened the package, and reviewed the nutrition label simply out of habit. I'm a low-carb dieter and it's reflex now to flip a product over and review the nutrition info. I was shocked to see the label stating that it was 9grams of carbs per serving. I called a friend of mine, and asked her to look at her tea, and hers said 0 carbs, unless the tea itself was eaten (the leaves and such) and even then, it was 0.2grams per 1/2 cup. I'm not sure where the carbs in mine were supposed to come from, but the tea I had looked, smelled, and tasted just like my friends, so I threw caution to the wind and have been drinking it. Tastes great, and has a fresher, greener taste than regular iced teas. What I'll do is take about 4-5 tablespoons, put them in a big tea bag, and use that amount to make approximately 2 gallons of tea. I let it boil awhile with the bag in it, and instead of coming out dark brown like regular tea does, it comes out dark green. It's quite a refreshing change from sun tea and I drink it both hot and cold.

My favorite Yerba at a good price for a good size bag and great quality.

This is great Yerba Mate I bought over other similar brands. Reason I chose it was the price, it seemed the cheapest, and it was authentic so I pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did, it's my new substitute for coffee and green tea. It's a different type of alert compared to something like caffeine, you don't get jittery or fidgety as least in my case. As for the taste, it may take some getting used to for people but for black-coffee drinkers it actually tastes better somewhat like a bitter green tea. Depending on how much you dilute it or let the leaves sit in the water you can cater it to your specific taste. I don't even use the bombilla, I just use a tea infuser and I can even reuse the batch for about 4 refills or even more. The secondary benefit from the alertness focus and concentration is that the Yerba Mate seems to help me get a deeper more satisfying sleep. I don't necessarily understand the science behind it but it definitely makes me feel more well rested when I wake up I really like the feeling and this is why I'll continue to drink it over coffee. Do not however drink any close to bedtime or you won't go to bed for hours. Overall this brand was the best bang for the buck and it most definitely works as intended I will be buying again when this huge bag runs out.

Nada mejor que tomar un mate a la mañana, o en el momento del día que prefieras, trabajando, estudiando, viajando, siempre es una excelente elección y la yerba Rosamonte es una buena opción para ello. Si bien los sabores de las yerbas serán mas o menos satisfactorios dependiendo de los gustos personales, esta yerba es un clásico argentino.

I had this Yerba years ago when I was working with Argentines! Glad I could buy it again. It’s very flavourful and a good alternative to coffee. Much cleaner!

Excellent service and great product

I started using this when I developed an intolerance to coffee and tea and so looked for a morning alternative. After reading about the benefits I decided to try it. I have tried many brands but decided this is my favourite. I do not use one of those special pot thingy's instead I use a ball shaped tea infuser. I use just enough hot water to cover the infuser and leave it to steep overnight. I like mine hot so in morning I add hot water to it. (I can get 2 or 3 drinks out of it before throwing away and starting again). It is also tastes really nice with and adds extra punch with a shot of lemon juice and ginger juice. I have heard it described as tasting like a green tea but personally I would say it tastes like liquid cigarettes and smells like them too. Yuk! but amazingly I have got used to it and look forward to it every day. It wakes me up and gives extra stamina as the day goes on. I am much more mentally alert too.

Un modèle haut de gamme que j'utilise très souvent ; je le recommande.

It's nice quality, worth it for the price.
