## Description

Contrary to popular belief, yerba mate doesn’t have to be bitter and sharp. Playadito yerba mate is a friendly and easygoing Argentine yerba mate with a soft, light, and malty disposition. Go down Tranquility Lane and savor the delicate sweet and floral notes, supported by nutty and earthy undertones. Adios bitterness! Hello suave! What is yerba mate tea? Yerba Mate (pronounced YER-bah MAH-tay) is a type of holly plant native to Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Drunk for thousands of years by the native Guaraní tribe of the Paraná, the plant has been revered for its ability to naturally stimulate the mind and body. With a significantly higher antioxidant capacity than of green tea, it has more healing power and nutrition than any other plant on the Earth. Mate contains a unique combination of caffeine (in coffee), theophylline (in tea), and theobromine (in chocolate) which is responsible for refreshing your mind, uplifting your mood, and remaining alert without any jitters or crashes. There’s no other herb like yerba mate. How to prepare yerba mate tea with your gourd and bombilla? 1. Fill gourd with 3/4s yerba mate tea. 2. Push yerba mate to one side of the gourd with a spoon on your bombilla, creating a mountain of mate on one side. 3. Add room temperature or cold water to this open space and allow to sit for 30 seconds. 4. Insert your bombilla to the side you poured the water, then begin sipping. 5. Proceed with adding hot (not exceeding 165ºF) or cold water and enjoy until the mate becomes tasteless.

Review: 10/10 - 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
Review: Economical way to enjoy potent yerba mate. - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hola! Son dos paquetes de 1 kilo?**
A: Siii son dos paquetes de un kilo !!!! Es muy rica esta Yerba!!

**Q: how much tea should be used to brew an 8 oz cup.  the package says 50 grams per 16.9 oz. but that can't be right.  is this tea really that weak?**
A: I used a French press. In it I put 2 tablespoons of tea with about 16 oz. of water. Of course how long you let it sit makes a difference but in my case it steeped for about 4 minutes and then pushed the plunger down. It was actually a little strong for my taste but close to just right.

**Q: What are the ingredients besides the yerba mate? one reviewer mentioned sugar. do you add additional caffeine from green tea or other sources?**
A: This item - only pure Yerba Mate; this mix of the Yerba Mate includes 'leaf stems' (con palo). There is no added sugar, nor sugar to speak of in leaf and stem and there is no reason to add caffeine. The caffeine content is less than coffee and more like tea, about 40mg/8oz infusion (of course caffeine content for non-decaffeinated infusions (Mate or Teas) depends on brewing time, leaf type, and leaf preparation (e.g., roasting, decaffeinating, etc.) similar to how different coffee beans, grinds, and brewing vary the caffeine in coffee.  Still, in general, a cup of Yerba Mate ranks between coffees and teas in caffeine.

**Q: Is this a unsmoked variety of Yerba Mate?**
A: It is yerba mate, regular yerba mate
