Yerba Mate Playadito 500gm

I’ve been drinking Playadito Yerba Mate for a while now, and it’s easily one of my favorites. The flavor is smooth, balanced, and not too bitter, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced mate drinkers. The quality is excellent, and the 500g package lasts a long time. It gives me a nice boost of energy and focus without the jitters of coffee. Great taste, great value, and definitely a product I will continue to buy. Highly recommended

I love yerba mate and I’m trying to wean myself off of energy drinks. I bought this 1 pound+ bag of loose leaf mate and a pack of fillable drawstring tea bags. I’ll probably get 75 to 100 servings from it depending on how I fill the bags. I can barely buy three of the canned mate drinks at the corner store for this price! Upon opening, it was clear that this is fresh and of good quality. It tastes and smells amazing and is not bitter to my pallate. I fill a blank (that’s what I call them) tea bag with a spoonful of mate and steep it upward of 5 minutes in filtered water heated in the electric kettle to about 160F. I add a pinch of brown sugar and I’m on my way! It’s said that mate should generally steep in hot, but not boiling water. The ‘green tea’ or ‘delicate’ settings on my kettle work perfectly. Hot enough to stay warm in my travel mug but not scald myself, and it keeps the tea from becoming bitter. Lower temps also supposedly preserve the good compounds and maximize caffeine release (so ‘they’ say). I’m weirdly excited about this purchase. The tea is good and the wakefulness is far more pronounced than what I get from canned yerba mate drinks, or high sugar energy drinks. Coffee makes me weird and sweaty and unpleasantly manic and can induce what feels like a bloodsugar crash. Yerba mate has always been kind to me even when consuming up to 5 mugs a day (on the rare high end). I try not to have it after late afternoon as it can keep me awake. This is a great way to enjoy yerba mate at a lower cost than buying packs of ready-made tea bags and it’s a WAY better deal than shelling out the daily cost of a pair of canned mate drinks or energy drinks. Get yourself some fillable drawstring tea bags to go with this big bag of tea!

Arrived in good time and product tastes great and is enjoyable. I will reorder again.

Got this to help not drink as much coffee. Taste just like green tea. I add a bit of honey to the tea I make. Overall, not bad, feel like it does just as good as coffee.

I love the flavor , soft , aromatic and not too strong at caffeine.

Awesome tea, I messed up and didn't know that you're supposed to transfer the leaves to an air tight container. I left the bag open and all of the flavor went. This is my fault though, now I know for next time.

Always the best. Being Haitian drinking mate. I value one that is great and that tastle like ARG. Playadito mate siempre responde
